Exclusive | Anti-Israel QR codes in NYC offer ‘free’ McDonald’s, Starbucks — but link to horrific ‘war crimes’ videos

Phony stickers offering deals and giveaways are popping up across New York City, but instead of freebies, users are exposed to horrifying videos of injured and bloodied children and anti-Israel propaganda, The Post has learned.

The twisted tactic is the latest in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which calls for boycotts of corporations seen as supporting Israel.

Stickers were seen being put up at various Midtown chain restaurants and stores this week, The Post found.

A QR code at a Sixth Avenue McDonald’s led to a flyer accusing the fast food chain of “war crimes” and “McGenocide” for providing meals to Israel Defense Forces.

“Hitting BDS targets including Starbucks, McDonald’s and Zara across 68 storefronts in Manhattan neighborhoods, activists enticed shoppers with coupon codes offering discounts and freebies,” a video from the group NJ PalAction explained.

Stickers in Bryant Park also claimed to offer the cult-favorite Stanley tumblers for free.

NJ PalAction is calling on social media followers to donate to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) or the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) — groups with reported ties to terrorist groups.

If people provide proof of a donation, the group will send PDFs to make the deceptive stickers at home to then spread around town.

New Yorkers were especially disturbed that kids could come across the messaging.

“This is part of a continuing campaign to shock New Yorkers and to disrupt New York with nothing less than Jew hatred,” said Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at The Lawfare Project and #EndJewHatred.

“They’re spreading disinformation that’s causing real harm,” he added.

There is also the legal issue, Filitti noted, in the vandalism of private property and misappropriating of intellectual property.

“It will be interesting to see if these companies do the right thing, which is to pursue that legal action.”
