The fired South Florida dentist who was caught on camera removing missing Israeli hostage posters off street poles across Miami claims his actions were “misinterpreted” and that he was instead promoting peace.

Dr. Ahmed ElKoussa’s actions were made public after the Stop Antisemitism organization posted a video that showed the dentist and another man tear down flyers of missing Israeli citizens believed to have been kidnapped following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas terrorists.
