In a shocking viral video, a man wearing a yarmulka was caught on video ripping down posters of the Hamas hostages in Flatbush. Multiple videos have been taken of the man, walking on Ocean Parkway on Sunday morning, tearing the posters down and placing them into trash bins.
While many anti-Israel agitators have been filmed ripping down similar posters across New York City, this is believed to be the first time that an Orthodox Jewish man was seen joining them.
YWN notes that these posters have resulted in multiple instances of violence and outright brawls when Jews run to stop the signs from being ripped down.

Can someone confirm if this guy is actually Jewish or a Muslim dressed as one?
I’m so curious to know why he did this. I’m not sure why.
Mentally disturbed?
Surly he is in disguise
Or mentally retarded
Rachmonus
Doesn’t look jewish. Looks like someone dressed up to look like a religious jew.
clearly the guy isn’t jewish! the make up of this man is all wrong. Beared, but clean shaven head and Payos!! but Tizitis showing out., I believe it’s a dressed up Muslim.
Look closely!!!! There is NO WAY this guy is frum…I doubt he’s even Jewish.
1) His “payos” area is way too closely shaven. No one, the way he’s dressed, would do that.
2) His Tzitzis looks brand new, like he’s never worn them before.
3) His Tzitzis look like the kind a pre bar mitzvah boy would wear…say, 6 or 7 year old.
4) He won’t talk because that might “give him away”
5) DAN LIKAF ZCHUS!!!! There’s no way a Ben Torah would do that!
Even Neturai Karta wouldn’t do that, would they?
Hes a Muslim dressed up as a Jew. Even the Neturei Karta wouldnt pull off a stunt like that
That guy doesn’t look jewish to me
How does he look “ullra-Orthodox” without penis? Likely he’s a Muslim but it’s so scary how he knows the dress code so well..
Sorry, please edit my previous comment as I didn’t realize auto spell changed the word “payos” to ..m
Can someone explain to me why this is not loshon hora?
I highly doubt this guy is Jewish, or sane for that matter.
Why are you just taking a video. Stop idiots like this
1000% this guy is not Jewish, look at his haircut and nonexistent payos. This has implications for shul security as well.
Perhaps the headline Intern @ YWN should be required to take an IQ test prior to hiring
Not a Jew from all simanim
Not Jewish 100% Muslum
shame on u maybe that’s why moshiach hasn’t even arrived yet because of people like u who are sick in the head are u maybe a member of neturtai karta or not ur worse than what hamas is doing now u know u don’t belong on the ny streets at all now may u go 2 hell 4 doing such a act like this now cmon what are u thinking about as u do this ur not allowed 2 destroy property like this if it’s not ur own property u know
Thats a muslim style beard
If anyone can identify this rosho, his name should be published. He should be ostracized and kicked out of any shul or yeshiva he may attend!
He looks very authetically Jewish and dresses just the right way. I mean with the shirt hanging out of his pants. If he would play the part he would do it to perfection. It looks like a Migoo to me.
This piece of meat ימח שמו וזכרונו must immediately be deported to Gaza
He knows that promoting the malchus erev rav is so obviously not helping even in a way as sensitive and heart wrenching as this.
Loshon Horah?
Dan Lekaf Zechus?
I heard he only ripped posters on his children’s school route bc they were scared and traumatized.
I not saying he is right.
But why is this on YWN before all the facts come out.
Shame on all of you
hes an a-rab
When this bloke gets an aliyah the name called out is Ahmed Ben Yishmael
I was wondering how long it would take !!!
I was wondering how long it would take
are there no baseball bats in flatbush?
Definitely looks like a Muslim that donned a kipah and tzitzis. Just a side note, has he been a chasidish looking guy, the internet wld be ablaze w curses. Just saying.
Ask him to say Pepsi. You’ll hear him saying Bebsi.
He looks like the guy from halo its master chief. Spartan 117 is pro Palestinian
Sorry to say but the guy looks familiar
Not sure where I’ve seen him before
send him to Gaza
Maybe his kids are getting nightmares. Maybe his 7 year old was asking him what “rape” means (like my son did) and he doesn’t think it’s appropriate. Maybe he doesn’t have a good reason. Maybe he does. But as Jews we are supposed to be Dan l’kaf zechus. This is the opposite of achudus. The opposite of what will help us win this war and bring moshiach. I’m not sure who thought posting this was a good idea, but I don’t see what good could come of it.
A large black kipe without peyos. A Muslim dressed as a Jew.
Or maybe his Intention Is to avoid Muslim uprise.
In any case It doesn’t seem that any of his relatives are among the hostages.
That guy should stub his ingrown toenail tonight. Or step on Lego. Either one is fine.
Does anyone else notice that he seems strangely in disguise?
His haircut and beard seem very abnormal…
By law you can’t go around and put up posters anywhere you want without permits.
So maybe he feels an obligation to take them down
Sadly, he looks very Jewish
He looks Jewish. Certainly some of the thousands of Yeshiva World viewers in Brooklyn, particularly those in the vicinity of Ocean Parkway will recognize this man.
Confirmed Jewish, mentally unstable, Flatbush Shomrim is reportedly investigating
If you know the community well, you can see that the way he’s dressed doesn’t match his Payos, so I would say he’s not Jewish.
Whats the shock? Maybe you Americans will start realizing the true meaning of “Eitznikim”
He was confirmed to be a Jew by the Shomrim
maybe hi is Neture Karta
Look at his non payas
Looks like a Muslim
Hints that not Jewish:
1. no payos, very short cut (not typical of someone wearing all black)
2. seems to trim under chin (so not chassidic)
3. looks like a new suit, bought for the occasion
4. dress shirt firm by collar like straight out of package
What do you say?? on target??
could everybody take a chill pill. originally this sounded like a great idea -putting up these signs.. however what it turned into is just incendiary for the USA protests.. my problem with trashing this guy is: this was never a recommendation from any of our גדולים or direct advice from any idf or Israeli government authority.. I don’t agree with taking the signs down but why trash this guy completely.. he did not violate any halacha or the Torah.. his reasoning for taking it down is probably it’s just unnecessary and it’s creating more damage than good.
*5. crisp new yarmulka
6. kids tzitis (?)
His image is very clear in the videos. I’m sure at least one of The Yeshiva World’s readers should recognize him as legitimate (Frum Yid) or not…
Well, black gloves and asian facial features indicate a premeditated Muslim. He is also very calm and doesn’t get into arguments. Netziv was told there was a Russian spy in the yeshiva. He identified the spy as he was not bouncing around when davening. Same here.
After Looking at the picture
The way his side burns are cut and has a beard
he looks Muslim especially untucked with with payes side burns shaved off
if hes chassidish he would be untucked but his side burns will untouched
if he was litvish he would be tucked in and head would not be shaved
he is defiantly Muslim dressed up in a disguise
nebuch: How does someone have to look to be a Jew? Should he look like a Jew in a Goebbels or KKK caricature? Honestly, you’re pathetic.
So here you have the two women confronting a man (very tzaenius of them, I know your a bunch of feminists but still), sound much less Jewish than him, and especially them taking a video with a smartphone, that is very Jewish as well.
Let me tell you, Gadol Hamachtiyo Yoser Min HaHorgo, so their smartphone is much worse than the most twisted hellenised Judaism you can ever dare to crank out from who-know where to justify that what he did was “wrong”. It will still ALWAYS BE WORSE!!
We are Jews, not Idol worshipers, not of the smartphone etc, and not of the modern trends of nationalism, or mixing hegelianism with luke warm sandal wearing “Judaism”, sorry.
He saw that these idolization-al signs have been put up with the sole purpose of winding up the goyim, in thinking (with the old zionist belief) that one shows his/her strength by poking the eyes out of the enemy by stuffing the truth in their face, trying to turn a blind eye to the fact that Hashem said that it will never help.
Obviously all zionist patriots will straight away “emotionally” wonder 🙄😏 why he would do that?! and get all “sincerely” upset and wonder, is the guy crazy?? Well, NO, you have convinced yourself that the sky is bright pink and when you don’t like the truth you just rename the colour blue to pink to be able to carry on with the stupidity called zionism. For this reason, he simply IGNORED you, and did his avoidas hakoidesh in taking down the sign, and thereby taking down the charoin af of this disgusting zionist tactic of hisgarus be’umos.
Baruch hashem there are these courageous men who don’t back down from these shameless zionists!!
Ashrecha Ba’olam Hazeh, Vtov lach Ba’olam Habah, in the USA, UK, ERETZ YISRAEL, and everywhere they do this!!
Where is his sidelocks
He’s most definitely a Arab. His payos are shaved.
Is it possible that, as the article intimates, he did it to avoid “reitzing un de hunt”? Maybe he is right?
Yes he’s Jewish.
He likely took down the posters because he feels it just gets the “sleeping enemy” more flared up against the Jews. He believes in a religious approach. To be discreet. And turn to the creator with repentance, Prayer and Torah learning.
He believes the creator was ultimately responsible for the attacks not Hamas. He knows god kills the Jews every once in a while. The Jews are not untouchable. They have to focus on their mission. Because of this he doesn’t turn to Washington. Because of this he tries to mitigate portraying posters that cause more hatred. He may just be spiritually woke, enlightened and hyper aware
The hair in around the sideburns looks too short to be peyos prob muslim
He’s not Jewish and definitely not an ultra-orthodox one, look at that non-kosher haircut (not according to halacha). If you remove the “Jewish garb” he looks totally Muslim. He also doesn’t look Jewish.
Some say hes a mentally ill Jew. To me, he looks too neatly dressed to be mentally unwell to that degree that hed be siding with and doing the work of murderers.
HOW CAN YWN CLAIM THAT THEY ARE POSTING VIDEOS TO SHOW NEWS OUTLETS THE ATROCITIES OF 10/7 AND AT THE SAME TIME POST THIS CHILLUL HASHEM VIDEO?? WE KNOW THERE ARE BAD APPLES AND WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD THEM I OUR MIDST, THIS HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE TIME OF THE “EIREV RAV”
HOW ON EARTH DO YOU FEEL JUSTIFIED TO
A: POST THIS SO OTHERS SHOULD LOOK DOWN AT US BECAUSE THEY DO NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN US
B: VILLIFY A JEW THAT HAS DIFFERENT VIEWS, THERE IS WAY MORE TO THIS FIGHT THAN SIGNS.
YWN ITS TIME FOR SOME SELF REFLECTION. YOU ARE NOT BEING MARBEH KAVOD SHAMAYIM WITH YOUR WEBSITE.
STOP IT ALREADY.
Take a close look at the person in the video and there are several indications that this is a Muslim in disguise.
I will not list the obvious indicators since this is a public post and I do not want those who seek the destruction of Jews to take note of what is required for an authentic looking disguise.
The Article read “this is believed to be the first time that an Orthodox Jewish man was seen joining them”. I strongly encourage the editors to correct this to “the first time a man dressed in Orthodox Jewish attire” and to investigate who this man is.
I also strongly encourage community members to take caution from falling for anti Jewish Muslim propaganda, and unless the identity of this person is revealed to actually be an “orthodox Jew” (highly unlikely), to refrain from forwarding this video on social media as it only serves their purpose.
Looks like a Jew, maybe even sefardi
if you look closely at his sideburns u can clearly see that another yid wearing tzitzus and a kippah would not have shaven hair like that.
Notice wearing gloves to hide any fingerprints. Suspicious
weirdly sized koppel. brand new “shabbos” shoes. payos cut way too short, but bushy beard.
Can we please have a maskana?!?!?!
Also, non-kippah wearing person seems to be a lookout standing next to him.
PLZ CALM DOWN THIS PERSON IS VERY NORMAL HE WAS REMOVING THESE SIGNS BECAUSE HIS KIDS ARE YOUNG AND WONDERING WHAT DOES (EX. RAPING MEAN ETC.) SO PLZ STOP SPREADING FAKE HOK
AND TO YWN SHANE ON YOU STOP SPREADING LH AND HATE ENOUGH. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE BLASTING IT TO EVERYONE
Whats the big koch? not the end of the world to take down these notices.
And btw, terrible situation should not make us bigger zionists. We should realise that if there never had been a state then all this innocent Jewish blood would likely not have been spilled
So my post was censored because I made a joke, that someo
So, my post was censored because I made a joke, that someone should pepper spray this guy and watch him yell out in Arabic.
I guess I’m inciting violence?
Google images of the Rambam, you will find many artist’s pictures of him without Payos.
