Former ADL Intern Caught Tearing Down Posters Of Israeli Hostages

Another case of the Left eating the Left. The Daily Mail reports that a New York University student, Yazmeen Deyhimi, and two accomplices were tearing down posters of Israeli hostages hung outside NYU's Tisch Hall on Monday and tossing them into the trash. The excuse she offered in her "apology" was: "I have found it increasingly difficult to know my place as a biracial brown woman, especially during these highly volatile times." She added:

'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.'

I guess that is the modern equivalent of "the Devil made me do it". What makes Deyhimi special, besides her hefty physique and nose ring, is that she is an activist that "once worked for the Anti-Defamation League" according to the article.

    According to the ADL website (which post has been taken down but still available in archive):

Yazmeen Deyhimi is a 15-year-old rising junior at Paul D. Schreiber High School. She was born and raised in Port Washington, New York. Yazmeen became involved with ADL during her freshman year when she took part in the ADL Peer Training Program. She quickly joined the No Place for Hate Committee and has been committed to help facilitate events such as Unity and Equality Days. Yazmeen has also worked with a nonprofit, Serve to Serve, which brings tennis to underprivileged children, as well as being a Girl Scout.  She is extremely passionate about fighting racial profiling and championing gender equality. She is honored and excited to bring these values to ADL as a summer intern in the Education department.

Looking through the whole post welcoming the interns at its New York/New Jersey office, the ADL was not welcoming any white students. Also:

These twelve high school students are spending six weeks in various departments of the ADL’s National and NY/NJ regional office, including security, education and information technology. In addition to their responsibilities in each department, the students also engage in weekly professional development workshops and field trips to strengthen their anti-bias education, facilitation skills and leadership abilities.

 Glad to see that the "anti-bias" and "No Place For Hate" training worked out so well.
