A Palestinian-American filmmaker who directed cult classic \u201cGreen Street Hooligans\u201d celebrated the death of young executive and new mom Erin Piacenti by posting a meme about alleged CEO-killer Luigi Mangione.<\/p>\n

Lexi Alexander, who was also nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for a short film she directed, posted an image on social media Tuesday of Batman staring up at a bat signal replaced with Mangione\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

The sick meme was shared in response to another post that identified Piacenti, who was killed by a mentally ill woman in Times Square, as a vice president at Bank of America. <\/p>\n

Alexander, who is also a world champion martial artist, also claimed in a comment on her own post that Israeli \u201cbots\u201d were \u201cout in full swing just like the first time we asked people to boycott BofA.\u201d<\/p>\n

The filmmaker shared a link to a January Haaretz article about the company\u2019s recommendation to invest in Israeli banks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael doesn\u2019t care about the woman who got killed, they care about the positive rating BofA gave them in the middle of a genocide. There is huge money at stake,\u201d she said in a post later Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The post received almost 400,000 views by Wednesday afternoon \u2014 with many users who commented blasting the director for cheering the death of an innocent woman who was murdered in her prime.<\/p>\n

\u201cA young woman was murdered while innocently walking down the street, and you are celebrating,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cYou are absolute human garbage, and I suspect you know that deep-down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour anger is targeted at the wrong person,\u201d another posted.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know you\u2019ve lost the plot when your politics are indistinguishable from that of a crazy woman that attacks random people with knives,\u201d another raged.<\/p>\n

Alexander\u2019s representatives did not immediately respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Piacenti, 32, had just finished her first day back at work after a five-month maternity leave when she was fatally stabbed in the abdomen with a kitchen knife in Times Square on Monday afternoon by Pamela Cisneros, 49, who also stabbed another man before she was shot dead by police.<\/p>\n

The University of Pennsylvania and Fordham Law School graduate had quickly soared to a coveted vice president position at Bank of America, moved to a quiet New Jersey suburb, and celebrated her second anniversary with her beloved husband, Frank Piacenti, just last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague,\u201d a Bank of America spokesperson told The Post in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a valued teammate who will be greatly missed. Our hearts go out to her family and all of her loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexander, 52, was born in Germany to a German mother and Palestinian father, according to her website. After becoming a world kickboxing champion in 1994 at the age of 19, she became a stuntwoman and then filmmaker.<\/p>\n

She was nominated for \u201cBest Short Film, Live Action\u201d at the 75th Academy Awards for the drama \u201cJohnny Flynton.\u201d <\/p>\n

She has been outspoken in her criticism of Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza after the outbreak of the war with Hamas in Oct. 2023.<\/p>\n
