NYU Activists Tear Down Photos of Hamas Hostages [Updated]

New York University is investigating an incident involving three alleged NYU students caught on videotape tearing down posters of Hamas hostages. The videos were taken outside NYU’s Tisch Hall and shared by the Students Supporting Israel NYU Chapter. The chapter identified them as NYU students, but it is not clear if that has been established by the university.

The Chapter wrote on X.: “Today, we witnessed 2 NYU students violently tearing down posters of kidnapped babies, mothers, and grandmothers hanging outside of NYU Buildings. This was done in a laughing manner, exhibiting complete disregard for Jewish lives and Jewish safety.”

The red and white posters with the word “KIDNAPPED” have gone up across New York City to remind people that 200 people have been taken hostage by Hamas.

It is telling that these individuals wanted to remove the images of these victims of a terrorist attack.  It is one thing to advocate for Palestinian rights and to protest grievances. Many on our campuses have done so for years. However, that should be accompanied by a condemnation of the massacre of civilians, rape of women, and the taking of hostages. Those are atrocities and constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Hamas does not represent the Palestinian cause. It is a terrorist group that has engaged in unspeakable crimes.

Update: A NYU student has now admitted to being one of those tearing down the images. Yazmeen Deyhimi stated

 “I have found it increasingly difficult to know my place as a biracial brown woman, especially during these highly volatile times. I have felt more and more frustrated about the time we currently find ourselves in, and misplaced that anger into actions that are not an accurate representation of who I am as a person.”

Tearing down these pictures will not erase the memory of these victims:

Here are some of those pictures:

    1. Do you mean pictures of the Hamas terrorists that brutally murdered, raped and tortured Jewish women and children? Or pictures of the university faculty, media figures, and government officials who celebrated the barbaric attacks?

      1. Maybe these terrorist supporters need to be called in for questioning, maybe they know where their terrorist friends are hiding the hostages.

  2. The NYU student association’s full statement, translated from Woke to English:

    Our professors at NYU taught us that black women are supposed to be angry. Israeli Jews are oppressors, so it is normal to take our anger out on them.

    If these videos hadn’t gotten out, the university would have been fine with us tearing down pictures of Jewish hostages.

    We are sorry the capitalists invented iPhones and didn’t stop the videos from spreading on social media and in the New York Post.

    We were just doing what they taught us to do. We are only 20 and it is all very confusing. Should we still write about this on our law school admissions essays?

  3. Jamaal Bowman pulls fire alarm to obstruct Congress

    No arrest

    Rashida Tlaib coordinates w/Hamas supporters to stage Insurrection of Capitol

    No arrest

    Top Secret docs in Biden’s Corvette garage

    No indictment

    “We do not have two tiers of justice!” ~Merrick Garland (lying sociopath)

    1. Keep in mind that the Tlaib’s pro Hamas insurrectionists who stormed the Cannon building today have ties to REAL terrorists. Unlike the J6 Grandmas who are being thrown in federal prison for YEARS for “parading” and “trespassing” and not showing “sufficient remorse.” GTH you corrupt Marxist partisan hacks posing as DC judges. Merrick Garland is such a pathetically weak, partisan hack. For shame.

      1. If the Islamic terrorists who hijacked United Flight 93 on 9/11 had succeeded in their goal, we would not have a Capitol Building.

      2. They didn’t “storm” the Cannon Building. They each went through security.

        1. The J6 gang were escorted by USCP
          The Hamas Democrat guilty of inciting violence and threatening POTUS

          Prison for all of Oct 18 Insurrectionists.

  5. ” However, that should be accompanied by a condemnation of the xxxxxx Those are atrocities and constitute crimes against humanity under international law.”

    Take your own rule and apply it to Israel. It has already been condemned for two crimes against humanity, the top UN person addressing that.

    I have noticed the US and Israel break the international law all the time and give the finger to the UN. so give the finger like you usually do but don’t expect your opposition to respect you, believe you, or reform themselves based upon your admonitions. HYPOCRITES WILL NOT BE LISTENED TO.

  7. Suspect: “I have found it increasingly difficult to know my place as a biracial brown woman, especially during these highly volatile times. I have felt more and more frustrated about the time we currently find ourselves in, and misplaced that anger into actions that are not an accurate representation of who I am as a person.”

    She should go to Ukraine and see how much better her life is by comparison

    Crimea River

      1. A fake attempt at remorse when she discovered that her face was recognized and her identity could be made public… thus reducing her ability to find a job upon graduation.

        She should be expelled from the school.

    2. Crimea River is right! It’s not difficult? Puhleese. She should know by now that her place is ABOVE all others in line simply BECAUSE of her brown skin, brown woman status.
      For all we know, she could be the next U.S. Supreme Court Justice hired BECAUSE she is a woman with brown skin.
      No matter that she believes the Constitution is an outdated white supremacy document, she’s brown skinned and woman! You’re black and you’re a woman (not a biologist, but a woman!) and most importantly:
      you are a LEFTIST ACTIVIST!!! Yay! You’re hired Ketanji!

    1. Boo hoo. They deserve to endure the WRATH of the voters and constituents they continually BETRAY.

      Primary them all….

  9. Take a moment to consider that we may be training some of these people to make viruses more deadly.

    How do you think that will work out?

      1. Just decide: never EVER take another “vaccine” injection of ANYTHING the gubment recommends or dares again to try to “mandate” on the public by fraudulently calling it “safe & effective.” They lie. Do not EVER believe anything the gubment tells you. They LIE. It’s ALL they do. Believe them at your own risk.

    2. Do not take ANY refugees from “Palestine”….they are brainwashed to hate all Jews and hate America and they will never assimilate….they hate American values….they want Jews extinguished…..they will only become the enemies within. NO Palestinian refugees in America, PERIOD.

      1. Just remember how these “Palestinians” are trained from birth: the Revolution above all.
        Same mindset of the Democrat Left: the Revolution above all.
        Recall Barack Obama’s clarion call to all the True Believers and Revolutionaries in our midst: “We are just 5 days away from fundamentally transforming….” blah blah blah….
        Inviting the enemies of America into this country is a deadly mistake.
        That’s not bigotry or racism; it’s practical reality.

        1. The U.S. under Democrat rule won’t take Cuban refugees, why would we accept Palestinian refugees?

      2. Unfortunately and dangerously, we have a Palestinian radical as a sitting member of Congress. She seems to believe she is representing Palestinians first and foremost versus the American constituents whom she allegedly was elected to represent. She is a clear and present danger to our democracy.. Again, not bigotry or racism, but practical reality. She is an enemy within. Without a doubt.

        1. We MUST begin to call things what they are.
          Trump demonstrated this.
          He called Hillary to her face a liar and a crook during that one debate and it was beyond AWESOME.
          He told her she would “be in jail” if he became POTUS. Another AWESOME truth bomb.
          Unfortunately, Trump was too nice and said “aw shucks, we don’t want to lock Her Up.”
          And now? Look who is getting locked up? Trump.
          Do NOT ever play nice with these people.
          The Democrat Left are playing for keeps and working with the Devil. You cannot give them an inch.
          Again, just practical reality.

  10. We now know that Hunter, Jim and Joe Biden solicited and took in over $20 million bribes from hostile foreign powers THAT WE KNOW OF this far, and paid NO TAXES on said $20 million. Are ANY of them in prison yet?

    The POS who LEAKED Trumps tax returns just got a sweetheart deal. Maybe a year in prison, maybe not even that. A crime like THAT should get AT LEAST 10 Years to Life. But no, the leaker got a slap on the wrist.
    But J6 grandmas? They get 5 YEARS in FEDERAL PRISON! Oh hell no you POS commie Democrat partisan thugs. You will NOT get away with this injustice.

    You know what? I am not going to pay one more penny in taxes to this corrupt POS communist government that is now aggressively targeting and hunting people like me: we are MAGA, we are conservatives, we support Trump. Do not send one more penny of MY TAX Dollars to Hammas terrorists!

    You can go collect your tax dollars from the CRIMINALS sitting in Congress, from the CRIMINAL family sitting in the White House, from the CRIMINALS all over Washington DC. Leave the rest of us alone you POS criminals.

    God help us all. The ENEMY is within. And it is called the DEMOCRAT PARTY.
