An NYU student has admitted to tearing down posters of Israeli hostages - blaming her exploits on 'misplaced anger'.
Yazmeen Deyhimi, a junior at NYU who once worked for the Anti-Defamation League and a self-acclaimed 'activist,' confessed to tearing down the flyers of hostages that were plastered outside NYU's Tisch Hall on Monday and tossing them into the trash.
A now-viral video of their actions has sparked backlash, with many calling for the university to hold the three perpetrators accountable.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Deyhimi 'apologized,' offering a bizarre explanation for the disgraceful act - claiming she was having a rough time finding her place as a 'biracial brown woman' during these 'highly volatile' times.
'I have found it increasingly difficult to know my place as a biracial brown woman, especially during these highly volatile times,' Deyhimi shared. 'I have felt more and more frustrated about the time we currently find ourselves in, and that misplaced anger into actions that are not an accurate representation of who I am as a person'
tive of who I am as a person or who my family had raised me to be.'
The NYU junior has claimed to be 'extremely passionate about fighting racial profiling.'
She and two others were filmed Monday at Tisch Hall in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, stripping clean a wall where students had plastered the faces of some of the hundreds of hostages taken by Hamas during the ongoing Middle East conflict.
The now-viral video shows the two women smirking as they hold the crumbled images of young children taken hostage by terrorists after ripping them off the wall.
The pair were filmed by Students Supporting Israel, which is demanding that the perpetrators be expelled.
One of Deyhimi's accomplices was identified as an unnamed freshman at the university who serves as a Muslim Youth Leadership Council Member at Advocates for Youth, according to the New York Post .
The third, a male student who was wearing a dark hoodie, has not yet been identified.
The footage, shared Monday night on social media, came as another student from a different private college was hit with hate crime charges for attacking a male, Jewish student with a broomstick.
Maxwell Friedman, 19, who uses female pronouns, was a student at Columbia University until the incident last week.
She attacked an unidentified male student as he place posters of the young children taken hostage by Hamas.
On arrival, they were told that the victim - identified only by the initials I.A. - was engaged in a dispute that had become physical.
According to police, Friedman fractured the male 24-year-old's finger, and verbally harassed him.
Friedman has now been charged with assault and harassment as a hate crime.
I.A. spoke with the Columbia Spectator, a student-run paper at the university.
He said one hand was bruised and his ring finger on the other hand was broken. In the wake of the altercation, he did not plan to return to campus soon.
'This is because me being an Israeli these days. Not me because being myself,' I.A. told the paper.
'It is because me being an Israeli who is under a certain kind of threat.'
The two incidents are the latest in a string at liberal, elite colleges across New York City and the country in which students have overwhelmingly sided with Palestine since the October 7 attack by Hamas against Israel.
Jewish students like those at NYU's Students Supporting Israel say the sustained sympathy for Palestine and refusal to acknowledge Israel's suffering by some make them feel unsafe on campus.
LOL! If I were dean of students at NYU I would tell Ms Deyhimi that her place is not at NYU and she should find it elsewhere. Immediately.
Idiotic hateful anti-Semitic biracial brown woman.
Every
Single
Time
She is LUCKY she is not in North Korea.
Remember the college student who did something to a poster there while visiting. They beat him until he almost dead. Dare near killed him.
When caught being exactly who they are, most figure any lie will do. But this one is just late night (Gutfeld) comedy gold.
Identified as an unnamed freshman? Did his parents just leave the name line on the birth certificate blank?
I never hear any apologies whenever someone hates on whites.
Don’t buy the back-pedalling or fake apologies. Expel her. Lots of people are in prison for “misplaced anger”. It’s not a defense.
They killed him. Brain damaged, and then returned to the United States a few months later where he soon died.
I think he just took the poster for a souvenir.
She wasn’t sorry at all.
She’s just trying to change everyone’s mind.
This little bitch is back peddling because she’s trying to hedge her bets.
By now word has no doubt gotten around college campuses that if you’re a law student and you’ve signed on to one these “We Stand With Palestine’’ hate screeds your chances of finding a job with a law firm are nil.
And mom and dad are going to be royally pissed because after laying out $80k the only job you’re likely to get is one that involes saying “Do you want fries with that?’’.
No. She’s just doing what muslims do. Get her out if this country.
