Students at NYU have been filmed ripping down posters of kidnapped Israeli children and adults.

The three individuals tore every single one off a wall in Manhattan and walked away with handfuls of them.

No one intervened to stop them, but afterward onlookers could be heard on the video calling it ‘terrible.’

Shocked social media users demanded that the university identify and expel them.

“These women should never ever be hired in NYC. they were caught on cameras ripping down posters of kidnapped innocent Israelis… babies… women,’ one said.

“These individuals should be ashamed of themselves. No better than holocaust deniers,” another said.

In a similar incident in Park Slope, Brooklyn, posters of Israeli hostages were ripped down from trees close to four synagogues.

One resident said: “It was hard enough to explain to my young daughter why anyone would want to kidnap babies. I was at a loss to explain to her why anyone would want to rip these posters down.

“It’s a gross act in a heavily Jewish part of Brooklyn. Chuck Schumer’s synagogue is a few minutes away.

“I hope whoever did this is found and personally forced to put them back up.”
