The head of a Manhattan council that partners with the NYPD resigned after being exposed by The Post for tearing down Israeli hostage posters

Robert Josman, president and longtime member of the volunteer 24th Precinct Community Council on the Upper West Side, resigned last week amid demands for action over his repeated removal of hostage posters plastered near synagogues.

On one occasion, he told residents who confronted him that it is illegal to post anything on NYC property and said he had consulted with the police, The Post reported last last month.

But critics said he didn’t remove any other flyers and argued that he “directly undermined his own role by demonstrating overt hatred” toward Jews, according to letters sent to city officials.

“Update: antisemite Robert Josman has resigned as President of the NYPD 24th Precinct [Council],” the watchdog group StopAntisemitism posted on X a day after the board’s April meeting.

The Upper West Side has one of the largest Jewish communities in the Big Apple and saw some of the most hate crimes citywide over the last two years.

Precinct community councils aim to improve community-police relations and address public safety and quality of life issues.

Josman did not return requests for comment and the NYPD said it does not oversee the councils.
