Back Peddlin' & Pussy Poppin' : Wall Street Banker Fired Over Viral Video Of Him Telling A Jewish American Man To ‘Go Back To Your Country’

These two dust bunny bitches needs to be deported

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.

“None of your f–king business, dude, f–k off,” the woman snaps angrily as she and the man both flip their middle fingers at the camera.

Asked again if they’re “real proud” of themselves, the man replies defiantly: ‘Very proud. Very proud.”

The man identified as Mistry then held up the flyer they were taping over the posters, which read: “Israel is an apartheid state and commits genocide.”

“Go live in Israel … go back to your country!” he tells the person confronting them, who replies: “I’m an American. I’m an American Jew.”

The woman identified as Gupta also recorded the incident, telling the man: “I am also a f–king American, darling … Me too, so then you f–k off as well.”

She then claims that the Jewish man doesn’t “want my f–king country to exist,” stating she means “Palestine” — calling him an “uneducated prick” when he notes it is not a country.

Later in the video, Gupta accuses Israelis of being “rapists,” claiming, “I’ve already proved it.”

Freepoint Commodities, a Stamford, Ct.-based company, released a statement saying it was “aware of the recent antisemitic incident reported on social media, and the individual involved is no longer associated with Freepoint.

“We welcome the diversity of views and opinions held by our employees, but Freepoint does not tolerate discrimination and hate speech directed against any group,” the statement said.

Mistry had worked at Freepoint Commodities for nine years, according to his LinkedIn profile.

He was previously employed by Morgan Stanley, Barclays, and Lehman Brothers.

Mistry refused to meet with reporters on Wednesday, as the doorman outside his luxury apartment building — which includes luxury amenities like a steam room, Pilates studio and a large, heated indoor pool — bore the brunt of his ire.

Well, that was straight hate. Although some people think that if they dislike the reporter, it must be 'fake news'... I wonder if Mistry's bank account feels like this shit is fake? They deserved the shame and the firing. Isn't that how cancel culture works these days?

These two need to be treated the way they view others. If you are down in life, least you can be thankful you're not them.

 

[myra manes]

Idiots.

 

[Sejanus]

Malignant pricks.

 

[Busy Bee]

I am glad to see that his firm took swift action and severed his employment!

I love how these morons think technology doesn't exist.

I guess the realization you still have bills and Hamas ain't cutting you a check has sunk in.

The Wall Street analyst who was fired after he was filmed telling a Jewish American to “go back to your country” while he covered hostage posters with antisemitic signs has given a groveling apology after he and his wife got death threats.

Kurush Mistry and his partner, Shailja Gupta, said their actions were “misguided and thoughtless,” and claimed they never supported Hamas.

“After taking time to contemplate and reflect on our recent actions, we want to send our sincerest apologies to the Jewish gentleman we yelled at, gestured to and said unkind things to, as well as to the global Jewish community for our recent actions in NYC,” Mistry and Gupta said in a statement Friday.

“Our behavior was simply unacceptable, and we are ashamed of our actions and words,” they said, adding: “We hope to have the opportunity to speak to the gentleman personally and apologize directly to him.”

The couple then went on to say, “We have never supported Hamas and have always believed it is a terrorist organization.

“This was our first time engaging in civic protest, and our goal was to emphasize the plight of Palestinian men, women, and children who are dying and suffering in Gaza,” they explained.

“Our way of doing so was misguided and thoughtless.”

“For example, our badly-worded poster was construed to support violence, and we apologize profusely for that.

“We fully acknowledge the pain of the Jewish people in the US, in Israel, and globally, and we regret that our actions added to that pain.”

The couple then noted, “Since the incident, we have both received many death threats.

We share [this] knowledge not for sympathy, but to factually tell the whole truth.

“We have learned a valuable lesson about the need to love all as brothers and sisters, instead of highlighting disagreements and causing more pain.

“We unequivocally denounce antisemitism, violence, and terrorism in every form,” Mistry and Gupta claimed, before reiterating their apology “to all those we offended and caused pain to, especially the global Jewish community, our fellow Americans, and our fellow Indians.

“We hope that by our future actions and words, we will slowly earn back your trust in our good intentions for all humanity and that you can hopefully see that we are more than our worst actions and mistakes.”

Mike Paul, a spokesman representing the couple, told The Post that since the video went viral, Mistry and Gupta have had to report some “threats of violence” to local law enforcement.”

He also said he “heard in their hearts that they are sorry for what they did,” adding that the couple just was facing “deep frustration” that stories about the “plight of Palestinian men, women and children” were “not being told.”

“That’s where their heart started,” Paul said, noting “even the president of the United States has changed his position from the very beginning only speaking about Israel and the Jewish people” to speaking about what is happening to residents in Gaza.

“He’s realizing there’s clear and consistent evidence to see what’s happening,” Paul said. “Even to say that is controversial.”


But, Paul said, Mistry and Gupta have since “realized it was not presented in the proper way.”

Nah, they're just groveling because it behooves THEM to do so. They didn't care how ugly and hateful they were being to that Jewish man. They got caught, BIG TIME, being their abhorrant, ugly, racist, arrogant* selves. Time to pay the piper kiddies. What? You thought this shit was free?

ETA: Fixed a typo.*

 

[knockout]

Ridiculously phony over the top groveling, makes them look like the assholes they are

 

[myra manes]

Lmfao! These two fools trying to back peddle, is too funny.

 

[cubby]

You are so devoted and invested in your cause that you flip flop when it's YOU that's being affected by what you've said and done.

 

[myra manes]

I hope they never find employment again.

 

[Busy Bee]

They could have posted their materials, but why did they want to cover over other posters? Both of them used foul, antisemitic, hateful language! That’s what I see as coming from their hearts! Both of them were very clear about their intentions while posting their fliers!

 

[Sejanus]

Typical bullies show what sniveling cowards they are when called out for piss poor behavior.
This plays out all the time pretty much every time.
Apologies like these are simply meaningless and fix nothing.
Let them scramble for scraps, homeless on the streets as non-entities.
