Moment Queens man confronts man ripping down posters of Israeli hostages
A group of furious Big Apple construction workers hopped out of their truck Friday to confront a stranger who was tearing down posters of Israeli hostages held captive by Hamas.
Jacob Birn, 24, had tailed and filmed the man for two blocks while repeatedly demanding to know why he was ripping down the fliers and begging him to leave the remaining ones alone. Paulie and a crowd of other men — including his coworker who identified himself as a veteran — emphasized that none of them were Jewish, but still found the man’s actions disrespectful and infuriating.
Birn said he was floored by Paulie and his crew’s support and hailed the outspoken construction worker as a “hero.”My first thought was, ‘Wow, this guy went out of his way and he didn’t have to.'”
