QUEENS, NEW YORK CITY: Another person was recorded on camera tearing down the posters of Israeli hostages taken away by Hamas militants.
Paulie, an NYC construction worker, was caught on camera warning the man who was caught in the act.

Angry Paulie was seen shouting in the video, “I'm not Jewish, he's not Jewish. It doesn't f***ing matter. This is f***ing the USA, this is New York City.”
“You don't have a f***ing right to touch that s**t. This is a free country, you can wave your Palestine flag and say death to the Jews or America whenever you want,” Paulie told the man.
“But we can put up signs. Okay,” he added.
It was Jacob Birn, who noticed the man taking off the posters from two blocks away until the latter was confronted by Paulie on the corner of 67th Drive and 109th Street in Queens.
Birn told the New York Post that Paulie and his friend intervened when he started asking questions to the man taking down posters.
“He kept asking, ‘Do you have proof’ about the hostages and the kidnapping,” Birn told the outlet, adding that the man repeatedly said he “totally didn’t care.”
That was the moment when two construction workers came out of their yellow truck to intervene.

As the man tried to explain his behavior, the other construction worker added, “You are offending us motherf***er.”
When the man defended himself that he had done nothing wrong, the second construction worker pointed out that he had been littering.
“When you throw that on the floor you are littering the city, in a minute I am going to litter the f***ing floor with you,” the worker said.
“So move the f**k on. I'm dying to put you in the f***ing hospital,” he added before the video came to an end.
Birn calls Paulie "the King of Queens now, good for him."
