Hamas supporters mimic 1930s Berlin in recent New York act.
Pro-Palestinian Activists Deface Posters of Kidnapped Israelis in New York City
For days, pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas activists have been tearing down missing posters featuring the images of Israeli civilians who were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and taken into Gaza. However, in New York City, they have taken their actions to a new level.
Instead of simply ripping the posters down and discarding them, activists in New York City have resorted to a disturbing tactic. They are adding “OCCUPIER” labels to the posters, creating the false impression that the individuals in the photos are wanted criminals rather than victims of a heinous crime.

“This new tactic is absolutely twisted,” remarked Guy Benson. “They have gone from tearing down hostage posters, which was already disgusting, to transforming them into wanted posters. The message being conveyed is that these Jews, who were kidnapped by Hamas, somehow deserve their fate.”
Jarrett Stepman added, “The actions of liberals have turned New York into a reminiscent of 1930s Berlin.”

“The underlying message here is that there is no such thing as an Israeli civilian. It doesn’t matter where you live, what your politics are, or what kind of activism you’re involved in,” added Arno Rosenfeld on Twitter. “According to this twisted logic, any Jewish person in Israel is considered a legitimate target for violence.”
“Evil. There’s evil in our midst, and it’s far more prevalent, especially on our college campuses, than anyone wants to admit,” emphasized Andrew Wagner, executive director of the Minnesota House GOP.

“Accusing the hostages of wrongdoing is even more repulsive than tearing the posters down,” posted Jen Wright on Twitter. “The individuals defacing these posters are nothing more than anti-Jew, antisemite, pro-Hamas, pro-hamas-activists-turned-new-york-into-1930s-berlin-with-latest-stunt/” title=”Hamas supporters mimic 1930s Berlin in recent New York act.”>hate-filled terrorists. Thankfully, vengeance is in God’s hands. I pray for their souls. May they repent and be saved.”
“This is the most evil, disgusting, antisemitic act I’ve ever witnessed. These people have no regard for Jewish lives. Their first step is to dehumanize us, making our murder seem acceptable,” expressed Adam Weiss.

According to recent reports, approximately 200 Israelis are still being held hostage by Hamas terrorists in the intricate network of tunnels beneath Gaza. Only a small number of those kidnapped on October 7, during the brutal massacre of Israeli civilians by Hamas, have been released since then, and a few of them were American citizens.
How have pro-Palestinian activists in New York City taken their actions against missing posters of kidnapped Israelis to a disturbing new level?
“Pro-Palestinian Activists Deface Posters of Kidnapped Israelis in New York City”
In recent days, pro-Palestinian activists, some with ties to Hamas, have taken their actions to a disturbing new level in New York City. Instead of simply tearing down missing posters featuring the images of Israeli civilians who were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and taken into Gaza, these activists have resorted to defacing the posters with the addition of “OCCUPIER” labels. This creates the false impression that the individuals in the photos are wanted criminals rather than victims of a heinous crime.
The disturbing tactic was highlighted by Inez Stepman on Twitter, who shared a video of the defaced posters with the caption, “New tactic: slapping the label ‘occupier’ over the posters of the women and children taken hostage to tell people that their lives don’t matter.” The video showcases the warped view of these activists, who seek to dehumanize the victims and shift the blame onto them.
This new tactic has been widely condemned, with many recognizing the insidious message it conveys. Guy Benson, a political commentator, expressed his outrage, stating, “This new tactic is absolutely twisted. They have gone from tearing down hostage posters, which was already disgusting, to transforming them into wanted posters. The message being conveyed is that these Jews, who were kidnapped by Hamas, somehow deserve their fate.”
Others have drawn comparisons to the dark days of history. Jarrett Stepman tweeted, “The actions of liberals have turned New York into a reminiscent of 1930s Berlin.” This comparison highlights the dangerous path that these activists have taken, aligning themselves with a history of hatred and discrimination.
David Marcus commented on Twitter, expressing the underlying message behind this defacement, stating, “What this really says is ‘kill more Jews.'” This sentiment is particularly unsettling, as it portrays an acceptance and even support for violence against Jewish individuals, regardless of their innocence or circumstances.
Arno Rosenfeld, another Twitter user, added, “The underlying message here is that there is no such thing as an Israeli civilian. It doesn’t matter where you live, what your politics are, or what kind of activism you’re involved in. According to this twisted logic, any Jewish person in Israel is considered a legitimate target for violence.” This sentiment reveals the dangerous stereotypes and prejudices that these activists are perpetuating, promoting a climate of hatred and violence.
Andrew Wagner, the executive director of the Minnesota House GOP, emphasized the presence of evil in our midst, particularly on college campuses where such ideologies often flourish. He tweeted, “Evil. There’s evil in our midst, and it’s far more prevalent, especially on our college campuses, than anyone wants to admit.” Wagner’s words serve as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing and countering these dangerous ideologies.
The defacement of the posters of kidnapped Israelis in New York City by pro-Palestinian activists is not only a disturbing act but also a chilling reminder of the hatred that still exists in certain circles. By dehumanizing the victims and promoting violence against them, these activists contribute to an environment of division, hostility, and prejudice. It is crucial for society to condemn such actions and stand united against hatred, discrimination, and violence in all its forms.
