NEW YORK CITY: Muslim woman and her accomplice charged with hate crimes after assaulting Jewish victim who confronted them for tearing down posters of kidnapped Israelis by Hamas

Mehwish Omer, 26, and Stephanie Gonzalez, 25, allegedly assaulted the 41-year-old woman after she approached the duo as they were tearing down posters of Israeli hostages from a light pole in the Upper West Side on the night of November 9th.

Daily Mail (h/t Nita)  The Jewish woman told police she began recording Omer and Gonzalez and arguing with them before she was attacked. The young women then assaulted the victim, ripping off her Star of David necklace and knocking her cellphone out of her hand before running off, per the NYPD.

The victim was reportedly left with minor injuries to her face and neck, and her phone was damaged. Omer turned herself in on Monday and Gonzalez was arraigned last week. They are both detained in Lower Manhattan’s 7th Precinct.

Both young women are charged with assault and criminal mischief as hate crimes. Gonzales is also charged with attempted robbery.

Their arrests comes after two 18-year-old New Yorkers, Charlotte Wimer and Gray Segal, were also arrested for tearing down posters of hostages kidnapped in the Israel-Hamas war.

The posters were of 240 Israeli children and adults kidnapped by the terrorist group since the October 7 assault on Israel. NYPD officials have charged both suspects with criminal mischief.

The wall of the privately-owned building was covered in red and white signs with the word ‘KIDNAPPED’ written above photographs of the missing hostages, as well as posters of the Israeli flag.

Weeks earlier, Muslim sisters Aya and Danan were caught on camera tearing down posters of Israeli child hostages while screaming ‘f***k Israel’ on the Upper West Side of New York City.

They were confronted by passerby Marilyn Adler, walking down the street with her two daughters. When Adler urged them to stop tearing the posters, the duo launched a torrent of abuse against them.

Footage shows one of the sisters yelling, ‘f***k you, f***k Israel’. The other woman said, ‘f***k you, b***h’

‘They didn’t let me get a word out. They said it was Israeli propaganda. They said Israel made up the hostages with AI,’ Adler’s daughter, Melissa, told the New York Post.

‘I said, ‘Please have a conversation with me.’ They wouldn’t stop screaming at me. They just cursed me out and screamed at me. I was just stunned. ‘They looked at me with eyes full of hatred. They hate me simply because I’m a Jew. They don’t even know me.’
