An Adams administration staffer whose mission includes fostering “unity” and bridging “cultural divides,” is under fire for ripping down an Israeli hostage poster — and then allegedly assaulting an outraged eyewitness, The Post has learned.
Nallah Sutherland, a special event coordinator for the Mayor’s Office of Special Projects and Community Events, was spotted earlier this month tearing down the poster from an Upper East Side light pole, ripping it up and dumping it in a trash bin, according to video posted online by the social media platform Jews of NY and nonprofit StopAntisemetism.
“It’s an appalling act of antisemitism,” said the nonprofit’s founder Liora Rez, who demanded Adams immediately fire Sutherland.
Nallah Sutherland, a special event coordinator for the NYC Mayor’s Office of Special Projects and Community Events, is under fire for ripping down an Israeli hostage poster in Manhattan on Nov. 2 — and then allegedly assaulting the person filming her doing it.
But Sutherland, 25, only got a slap on the wrist by her bosses — who merely required her to take “multicultural training” and added a disciplinary note to her permanent work file, a City Hall source told The Post.
