Wall Street banker fired over viral video of him telling a Jewish American man to ‘go back to your country’
A Wall Street analyst has been fired after he was filmed telling a Jewish American to "go back to your country" while he also covered hostage posters with signs accusing Israel of being an "apartheid state" committing "genocide."
Freepoint Commodities confirmed in a statement that the employee seen in a now-viral video "is no longer associated with" the company that "does not tolerate discrimination and hate speech directed against any group."
He was identified by journalist Andy Ngo as Kurush Mistry, which sources later also confirmed to the Financial Times. The woman with him — who called Israelis "rapists" — was his partner, Shailja Gupta, the reports said.
Ngo said the clip — which has already been viewed more than 6.5 million times — was filmed last Thursday at the intersection of 68th Street and Riverside Boulevard.
The man filming is heard asking the couple for their names and if they're "proud" of covering the posters of some of the more than 200 people still held hostage by Hamas terrorists.
