The New York City artist behind an antisemitic and Hamas-obsessed installation on taxpayer-funded Governors Island was caught on camera going berserk when probed about the hate-filled artwork.
Rebecca Goyette flipped out when The Post approached her on Tuesday to ask a simple question after her so-called artwork sparked outrage when it sprung up at a weekend family Halloween event.
“Get the f–k away from me, what are you doing?” she shrieked as she tried to shield her face under her hooded sweatshirt.

Goyette then refused to comment when given the opportunity to explain her installation as she fled down a Brooklyn street.
“I just want to find out about your art installation,” she was calmly asked.
It comes after her unauthorized installation, which featured a mock street sign reading “F–k Israel Ln” and a “Hamas Lover” poster, was widely blasted for excoriating the Jewish state.
Her disturbing collection popped up in a space occupied by Swale — a food-forest non-profit that is part of the Trust of Governor Island’s in-residence program.
The Trust for Governors Island and Swale were both quick to condemn the exhibit — insisting Goyette was not part of the group’s official programming.
“We view this as a deliberate and malicious act by the artist,” Swale said.

The exhibit was up for a few hours before officials became aware of it and tore it down, a rep for the non-profit said.
Goyette, who was apparently invited by a resident artist, had now been banned from the space, they added.
Mayor Eric Adams was among those to rip her display, arguing his administration has a zero tolerance for antisemitism or any other form of hate speech.
“The exhibit displayed at an art house on Governors Island over the weekend was sickening and deeply offensive to the Jewish community and to any New Yorker opposed to hate,” he said in a statement.

In the past, Goyette has voiced support for Palestine in a slew of social media posts, including one in which she bizarrely claimed she was falling in love virtually with a dentist in Gaza as the pair shared “vampire dentist jokes like ‘I’m gonna bite you.’”
