What happens when the Israel-Palestine conflict spills onto the streets of New York City? Posters, propaganda, and outrage turned the city into an unexpected battleground — and the story behind it will shock you.
We sit down with Nim Shapira, the director of TORN: The Israel-Palestine Poster War, to uncover the hidden conflict tearing NYC apart. From torn posters and viral street battles to debates over antisemitism and free speech, this is a raw look at how global tensions can play out in everyday life on the streets of America.
