This is the sickening moment a man laughed in the face of a Jewish woman after she confronted him and his female accomplice for ripping down posters of missing Israeli children in Brooklyn over the weekend. 

A video of the incident was shared by the Stop Antisemitism Twitter account. It shows the Jewish woman approach the couple as they stand in Brooklyn Bridge Park in Dumbo, holding the torn-up posters in their hands.  

‘These are American citizens,’ the Jewish woman yelled at the pair, who stood saying nothing. 

Eventually, the man started to laugh and tell her: ‘We don’t consent to you recording us.’ 

They then walked away. 

It was the latest in a string of similar incidents in the city. On the Upper East Side, a man sparked outrage by also pulling down posters and asking: ‘Where are the Palestinians?’

The video begins with the woman filming approaching the couple after they took down the posters. She ripped them out of the other woman's hands

In the Brooklyn incident, the Jewish woman shouts: ‘This is mine, I paid money for this, and you’re not gonna f***ing do this!’

A man in a blue shirt stands beside the alleged poster ripper, smirking, as the camerawoman continues to shout.

‘I’m a citizen here and this is American citizens!’ she says. The woman in the burgundy jacket opens her mouth to respond but quickly closes it.

‘You f***ing got it? You are not going to do it! Get the f*** out of here! This is American citizens! They’re kidnapped! You f***ing b**ch!’ the camerawoman shouts.

The man steps towards her, grinning and holds his hand up to block the camera as she swings it in his face. ‘Get the f*** out of here!’ the woman shouts.

The couple begins to stroll away, holding hands, after another person intervenes. The camerawoman follows them, still shouting.

In a video uploaded the following day, a man in a tan jacket is confronted by a group of people in an Upper East Side crosswalk.

‘Where are the Palestinians?’ the man asks with a heavy French accent, to the disbelief of people filming.

‘What does that have to do with the hostages, man?’ one exclaims. ‘What’s the matter with you?’

The man continues to ask ‘Where are the Palestinians?’ and another responds: ‘So put your own sign up!’

These incidents are the latest in a series occurring throughout the city. On October 17, two young women were caught tearing down posters at NYU’s Tisch Hall.

They stripped clean a wall where students had plastered the faces of some of the hundreds of hostages taken by Hamas and ran off with the posters in their arms.

Similar episodes have been filmed in other cities. In London, a woman was seen ripping down posters of kidnapped Israeli citizens and claiming they contained ‘inaccurate information’ about women being raped.

Witnesses filmed her clutching the torn posters on October 7.

More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel since the war began, mostly civilians killed in the initial Hamas assault on October 7.

Over 4,300 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza. On Sunday, a convoy of 17 trucks successfully delivered humanitarian aid to Gaza through the Rafah crossing. 

The same day, the United States announced its plans to increase military resources in the Middle East to bolster support for Israel and enhance the US defense presence in the region.

Roughly 200 people have been kidnapped by Hamas amid the conflict. On Friday, the terrorist group freed an American woman and her teenage daughter, the first release of its kind.
