A female 'hateful bigot'' was caught on shocking video Thursday hissing to a Jewish man in a Midtown office building, 'I want ISIS to kill all of you!''
The wigged-out woman unleashed her antisemitic tirade in the lobby of 950 Third Ave. near East 57th Street in Manhattan just after lunch, witness Seth Bell told The Post.
The hate-spewing woman, who identified herself in the footage as 'Noora,'' first got into the 'personal space'' of a Hasidic man as he was walking through the lobby, said Bell, a 46-year-old lawyer.
'As I got closer, I heard the word 'Jew' being thrown around, and 'genocide' and 'Israel' and 'Palestine,' and I just knew immediately,' Bell said Friday.
'She was equating some random Jewish guy with what was going on in the Middle East, which is classic antisemitism,'' said Bell, a Jewish dad of three.
When Bell confronted the woman, asking her if she was verbally attacking the other man because she was 'just an antisemite,'' she flew into a new vitriolic, profanity-laced rage.
'F–k the Jew, I love Jesus,'' she said — before allegedly swatting at Bell's phone in his hand and part of his head and kicking at him.
Bell said, 'You messed with the wrong Jew today, Noora.''
When she asked what he was going to do, he responded, 'I'm going to do nothing.
'I'm going to act like a civilized human being. … I'm going to film you,'' the lawyer said, adding, 'You are a hateful bigot.'
The woman, dressed in a long skirt, heels and a purple sweater with 'PINK' across it, then got into the elevator and plunked herself down, refusing to leave.
'I demand Jihad! I want ISIS to kill all of you! I am conspiring with Hamas, Palestinian Jihad and with ISIS, I am conspiring with them!'' the woman said.
An exasperated Bell said on the video, 'This is what Jews in New York City have to deal with.''
Bell said building security called the cops, who responded and cuffed the woman.
She was taken to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation, law-enforcement sources said.
The NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the incident and conferring with Manhattan prosecutors on possible charges, including assault, sources said.
Bell said he hopes she is charged.
'I'm just sick and tired of people getting to say what they want and do what they want and we just have to, the Jews just have to take it.
'I see it all the time,'' Bell said. 'The least we can do is expose it.''
The woman told cops her name was 'Noora Bandoora,'' sources said.
But she was identified by the group Jew Hate Database on X with a different name and as 'director of government affairs'' for a state chapter of the controversial Muslim group CAIR.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations posted on X: 'This is a lie.
'This person has not worked with our CAIR-KY chapter in FIVE years. She has no role at our civil rights group.
'We condemn and reject the antisemitic comments in the video, just as we condemn and reject anti-Palestinian racism and anti-Muslim hate. Racism is wrong, no matter the source or the target,'' it added.
The group later said in a statement that 'CAIR has not confirmed the identity of the person in the video.''
The former CAIR director identified on X as the woman did not respond to phone messages and texts from The Post.
David Ben Yosef, co-founder of Jew Hate Data Base, part of the Anti-Jew Hate Organization, told The Post that the incident 'is extremely disturbing, at a minimum.
'It's not like this guy was carrying an Israeli flag. He just happened to be Jewish,'' Yosef said of the Hasidic man who was initially accosted.
