Woman who removed Israeli hostage ribbons speaks out

Available for over a year

A woman who cut down yellow ribbons at a north London park dedicated to Israeli hostages has defended her actions. Nadia Yahlom was filmed removing the ribbons attached to railings at Princes Avenue Park in Muswell Hill, in Haringey, on 6 October - the eve of the two-year anniversary of the Israel-Gaza war. Members of the local Jewish community have condemned her actions, with one of the people who challenged her at the time describing them as "morally repugnant". But she says she's a Palestinian-Jewish woman who has every right to make a peaceful protest against genocide.
