Teens rip down missing Israeli posters on the Upper East Side

Two teenage girls were seen ripping down posters featuring the faces of Israelis who have been taken hostage along Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side.

The school-aged girls were seen on video shared to X walking down Madison Avenue near 78th Street and ripping down the posters that feature Israelis who have been taken hostage by Hamas terrorists.

Each girl grabs a poster, tearing the printer paper off and throwing it in the trash can below.

As an unidentified man asks the girls “what school do you go to,” the girl with pink hair and heart glasses ignores him and continues to tear down posters one by one.

The other girl, seen wearing a dark hoodie and jeans, pointed across the street, telling her friend: “There’s more over there.”

It is unclear how old the girls are or what school they attend.

Their act comes as other anti-Semitic efforts have continued to pop up in the Big Apple, which has a large Jewish population.

Earlier this week, a trio was seen tearing down the missing posters from NYU’s campus. The group has been identified as students at the prestigious college.

NYU said in a statement that it was looking into the matter, a spokesperson telling The Post: “The University takes this matter seriously, and we are looking into it.”

Yesterday, a Jewish deli in the Upper East Side had its storefront defaced with a swastika.

 2nd Avenue Deli owner Jeremy Lebewohl told The Post Tuesday that a tenant of the Upper East Side building alerted him that the storefront had been defaced with a hate symbol.

This is the first time Lebewohl has a symbol of hate plastered on his building, but he said he has “always been prepared for that to happen.”

More graffiti has popped up in the area today, The Post found, with several business advertisements being defaced with swastikas and pentagrams.

Around 3,000 people have died in the Gaza Strip, while almost 10,000 have been injured, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Nearly two-thirds who have died have been children.
