QUEENS (VINnews) — A group of outraged construction workers jumped out of their truck Friday to confront a foreign-looking man who was tearing down posters of hostages held captive by Hamas.

The stunning incident, which was caught on camera, took place in the heart of Forest Hills, which for decades has had a strong Jewish presence.
A man identified as “Paulie” sprang into action, along with his crew, after seeing a man trying to wedge himself between the antisemite and the fliers taped to streetlamps at 67th Drive and 108th Street.
According to NY Post, Jacob Birn followed and recorded the man for two blocks while repeatedly demanding to know why he was ripping down the fliers and begging him to stop.
“He kept asking, ‘Do you have proof’ about the hostages and the kidnapping,” Birn told The Post.
That’s when two construction workers hopped out of their yellow truck to intervene, taking sides with Birn.
“This is ****** the US, this is New York City, You don’t have a right to touch that…”one man yelled.
“This is a free country. You can wave your Palestine flag and say death to the Jews and America or whenever you want, but we can put up ****** signs,” Paulie said
When the man tried to claim he wasn’t doing anything wrong, Paulie responded: “When you throw that on the floor you’re littering the city. In a minute I’m gonna litter the ****** floor with you.”
The man warned Paulie not to touch him.
“I know that’s what you want. I’m dying to ****** put you in the hospital,” Paulie said before being dragged away.
“He’s the king of Queens now – good for him!” said Birn, the CEO of Addictive Ads.
My first thought was, ‘Wow, this guy went out of his way and he didn’t have to.’”
Paulie and a crowd of other men said that none of them were Jewish, but found the man’s actions disrespectful and outrageous.
Birn, who called Paulie a ‘hero’, said, “I felt proud to be a New Yorker – and supported by Jews and non-Jews. I felt proud to be in a city that defends its Jews.”
I love this guy!
He is my hero!
Paulie for President!!!!
Right on
He should have flattened his nose.
41 seconds of video, 4.1 seconds of (acceptable) audio.
The message was heard loud and clear, Paulie!
It’s truly amazing and also terrifying how many Jew haters have come out of the closet. Think about it imagine this being done to any other group.. Imagine if this was done to 9/11 Terrace victims who picture also got hung up all over the city… I don’t think we Jews have ever experienced anything like this. And my humble opinion this is more hatred than in 1933.
Uzbek national and by the way look how many here in Brooklyn, they all Muslim . They are here illegally
Looks like an Uber driver, time to boycott Uber
Is he allowed or is there a heter to give him Shlieshi?
screaming and calling him names is not heroic, a real hero would have knocked out some of his teeth and broken some bones that would have sent him to the hospital for a couple of weeks.
That is the only language you use with filthy rabies infected sewer rats
