NEW YORK (VINnews) — An NYU student who sickeningly ripped down posters of Israeli hostages, has now blamed her disgraceful behavior on “misplaced anger” and on being a “biracial brown woman”.

Perhaps even more disturbing, she once worked for the leftist ADL, which claims to be an organization that fights hate.
“Libs of Tiktok”, operated by an orthodox Jew, tweeted: ‘You can’t make this up! One of the students at @nyuniversity who ripped down posters of the hostages taken by Hamas terrorists has the @ADL in her Linkedin bio. She worked for them. @JGreenblattADL’

Yazmeen Deyhimi admitted to tearing down the banners posted outside NYU’s Tisch Hall, in a shameless act caught on video.
“I have found it increasingly difficult to know my place as a biracial brown woman, especially during these highly volatile times,” she wrote.
“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.”
“In this age of social media and digital footprint, these moments of anger are selfish and self-absorbed, and not reflective of who I am as a person or who my family had raised me to be.”
According to her LinkedIn profile, Deyhimi is an advocate against Muslim bigotry and spent a summer working with the ADL.
“After review, we can confirm that one of the participants was part of an ADL high-school level summer internship in 2019,” a spokesperson told The NY Post.
“We fully condemn her actions and hope that the apology she issued is the first step towards working to repair the harm and deep hurt her actions caused.”
The ADL has taken down a blog post describing Deyhimi as “extremely passionate about fighting racial profiling and championing gender equality.”
