“What a filthy human being”: Stefany Neyra and Samim Haydari come under fire for actions
Internet users showed no sympathy towards the duo. Many hoped that their identities would be exposed online, which eventually did end up happening.
The criticism aimed at them has also intensified ever since the clip went viral.
As mentioned prior, the duo had not addressed their actions online.
Anti-Jew attacks have increased rapidly in light of the ongoing Middle East conflict
The Stop Antisemitism page has been proactive in exposing anti-Jewish people. The number of xenophobic attacks across the world has also increased rapidly in light of the ongoing Middle East conflict. Recently, the page exposed Rutgers University graduate Lucia Mendoza for ripping down posters of kidnapped Israelis.
New York public defender Victoria Ruiz was also blasted online for removing posters of kidnapped Israeli children.
It seems like demonstrations regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict have turned severely violent as well. Recently, a Jewish man died after being attacked at a pro-Palestine protest. According to Stop Antisemitism, he succumbed to internal bleeding.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Health Ministry announced that their death toll has surpassed 10,000 as the Israeli army made their way to northern Gaza. About 1,400 people died in Israel as well, after Hamas' attack on October 7.
