Broadway producer James L. Simon tears down Israeli hostage flier in NYC
NY Post ^ | John Levine and Matthew Sedaca

Posted on 10/28/2023 4:32:22 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

A Broadway theater producer is the latest New Yorker to be caught on film brazenly tearing down fliers of civilians in Israel kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, The Post has learned.

In a video shared online by neighborhood blog I Love the Upper West Side, James L. Simon, who co-produced the 2022 Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman,” is seen at West 62nd Street and Broadway using scissors to remove a poster featuring one of the roughly 200 hostages taken by Hamas during its Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel.

The stone-faced Simon then crumpled up the flier, which had been taped to a traffic sensor box in the heavily Jewish neighborhood, before chucking it into a garbage can and silently walking off, the footage showed.

“You’re going to a dark and devious place if you’ve come to a place where you’re ripping posters off the wall of Israeli hostages, of innocent people held captive by terrorists,” former Broadway producer Adam Epstein, who hosts the podcast Dirty Moderate, told The Post.

Simon, who has also produced Broadway revivals of “Pippin” and “Bells Are Ringing,” told The Post he took down the fliers for the purpose of keeping the city’s streets clean, not for antisemitic reasons, and apologized for offending anyone. “I’m a strong supporter of free speech and encourage people to express their opinions, but all I’m asking is to do it legally,” he said, citing city Sanitation Department rules.

Videos of New Yorkers ripping down similar kidnap posters around the city have surfaced, putting on blast a New York University student, teens on the Upper East Side, and Brooklyn husband-wife couple.

Whaat is with all these Jews backing the muzzie terrorists? Same crap that many pulled with the Third Reich and look at Soros funding the people who would burn him like bacon and have him on toast.

Lol! Maybe Cossacks at the Door would be more appealing.

RE: Evil has taken over, in that God forsaken city.

Movie Damn Yankees plot: After seeing his team lose yet again, Joe rashly declares that he would sell his soul to the devil to see his team beat the Yankees. No sooner has he spoken than the devil appears before him in the guise of a suave conman, Applegate. Applegate claims he can go one better—he can restore Joe’s youth, making him the player who wins them the pennant.
They say variations in the old and revival (2 movies and 2 Broadway plays) but that’ll do for me.

You don’t get it. That is what they are hoping for.

If he wants to keep the city he can carry a plastic bag and pick up litter.

Who carries scissors?

This idiot should team up with Congresscritter Bowman. Perhaps they can form a company that will write lousy and ridiculous excuses for stupid actions

What a cowardly lying POS. you did it because you support the terrorist and now you're afraid because you got caught. own it punk or rethink your allegiances if you're ashamed to say it out loud!

I have a thought:

IS ANYONE WHO IS IN HIS/HER RIGHT MIND GOING TO NY TO SEE A BROADWAY PLAY?????

We lived 90 miles from NY in the past, and we often drove up to see the “wonders” of Broadway...not now...NOT EVER AGAIN.

Just a thing in the past that is just...OVER.

****
Just to buttress your point, the only time liberals care about legality is when they can use the law for their own purposes.
And I’m assuming, with his last name, that he’s a Jew.
I could be wrong about that. STILL, it’s a heartless thing to do.

“Isn’t he JEWISH?”

Jewish? Yes. A Jew? Not in a million years. Big difference. Jews love Eretz Yisrael. We love the laws handed down to us by God.

Jews share a religion with Jewish people, but that’s where it ends. Jewish people are liberals. Jews are Conservatives. How do I know this? Because I am a Jew. I’ve seen what Jewish people have done to our society, economy, media, academia and political system and I am appalled by it.

Jewish people tend to lean socialist, although they will deny it. They are the true useful idiots of the left.
