An NYU student has apologised for ripping down posters of Israeli hostages, blaming her 'misplaced anger' at the situation in the Middle East
Yazmeen Deyhimi was caught on camera taking down the posters alongside two other people.
In a statement posted on Instagram, she said: “I have found it increasingly difficult to know my place as a biracial brown woman, especially during these highly volatile times.
“I have felt more and more frustrated about the time we currently find ourselves in, and that misplaced anger into actions that are not an accurate representation of who I am as a person.”
“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.”
