NYC firefighter rips 9/11 agitator: ‘Go back to f**king Palestine… and take Mamdani, AOC and Hochul too!’

September 12, 2026 | | Print Article

A firefighter unloaded on a pro-Palestinian agitator who was protesting near Ground Zero on the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Video footage captured by Turning Point USA (TPUSA) showed the agitator wearing an Elmo costume with a Palestinian flag a few blocks away from the official Sept. 11 memorial ceremony.

The footage also showed the firefighter, an older man who was dressed in his official firefighter uniform, yelling at the agitator.

“Go right back to Palestine, you f–king anti-American motherf–ker!” the angry firefighter exclaimed at the agitator. “Go back to f–king Palestine! We don’t want you here!”

“And take f–cking Obama, take f–king Mamdani with you, and f–king AOC, and Hochul,” he added. “Take them all. They’re all no f–king good. You’re all no f–king good.”

Either the agitator or someone else then shouted back, “The Jews are committing a genocide!”

The official New York City Fire Department (FDNY) has denied that the firefighter works with them.

“We are aware of the video circulating of someone wearing a uniform having a verbal altercation today,” the department told Fox News. “This person appears to be from another fire department and is not and has never been a member of the FDNY.”

Whichever department he works for, the guy is now being heralded as a hero.

The pro-Palestinian agitator was later spotted chanting “Free Palestine” alongside a group of Neo Nazis. Watch here.

This isn’t the first time that pro-Palestinian agitators have displayed disrespect toward those memorializing the Sept. 11 terror attack.

Three years ago, video footage emerged of an agitator shouting “Allahu Akbar” right outside New York City’s World Trade Center.

Critics were disgusted by the chant.

“I can not express how horrible this is,” one critic tweeted. “On 9/11, I was on the 50th floor of 1 NY Plaza standing at the floor to ceiling windows and watched the 2nd plane crash and explode into the WTC. That horrible act of terrorism is akin to the 10/7 attack upon Israel.”

“The World Trade Center is holy ground for NYC,” another social media user wrote. “They’re playing with fire.”

Meanwhile, on Friday the city’s firefighters held a moment of silence outside the first city firehouse to respond during the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani did attend the Sept. 11 memorial, despite criticism from some first responders and family members of the victims.

During the memorial service, he was caught on camera laughing it up with Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
