The posts said the police were investigating that as a hate crime. Someone replied that em felt one shouldn’t attach posters to street light posts. That didn’t go over well.
I guess I’m wondering, is tearing down those posters really different in kind from stealing political yard signs, or is it a hate crime? I see it as closer to the sign stealing, plus I’m sure there is a law against putting stuff on the street light post. Thoughts?

I think it's another form of cancel culture horseshit.
The proper reply to such posters if one takes issue with them is to put up posters supporting Palestinians.
Of course, the next question will be, "What if the entire area is covered in posters of hostages?"
In that instance, the proper response is to paper over up to half of the space with your pro-Palestinian posters. One is allowed equal time and space, approximating what he'd get were it a formal debate, but he may not take all the time and space.
And yes, for the next inquiry - this confers a duty on the part of people posting anything regarding the conflict to not take all of the space initially. (This should be obvious as such behavior is rude, as it blocks others who might want to just post a pic of their missing cat, but given modern America has no fucking manners or sense of shame or propriety, it needs explaining.)
