What makes this incident even \u2063more disturbing is that Mistry was hurling anti-Semitic \u2064insults \u2064at a Jewish man during the \u2062act.<\/p>\n<p>The video, which \u2062can be viewed <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MrAndyNgo\/status\/1723014285729661034\">here<\/a>, shows Mistry \u200btelling the man filming\u200c him, who\u200c happens to be\u2062 an \u2063American\u200c Jew, to\u200d &#8220;go\u2062 back to your country.&#8221; The\u2063 repercussions of his actions were swift, as his employer, \u200cFreepoint Commodities, based in Stamford, Conn.,\u2064 terminated his employment \u2062the following \u200cday.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the incident, Freepoint Commodities released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepoint.com\/freepoint-is-committed-to-fostering-a-culture-of-mutual-respect-and-tolerance\/\">statement<\/a> emphasizing\u2062 their commitment to\u2062 fostering\u2062 a culture of mutual respect and tolerance. \u200cThe company made it\u200c clear that \u2063they do not\u2063 tolerate discrimination or hate speech \u2063directed towards any group, and that Mistry is no\u2063 longer\u200b associated with the company.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c video captures Mistry covering up the hostage posters with signs that accuse\u2064 Israel of \u200cbeing an apartheid\u200b state and \u200ccommitting genocide. When \u200dconfronted about \u2064his actions, \u2063Mistry responds with an obscene gesture towards the camera.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the disturbing nature of \u2064the incident, Mistry&#8217;s wife, Shailja Gupta, is \u200calso present and joins in the confrontation. She tells the man to go back to his country,\u200b despite him revealing that he is an American.
