The pro-Israel materials were reportedly found in the large King’s Cross, Old Street and South Kensington stations.

A group called London Against Hamas posted materials in Tube (train) stations in the capital city on Monday, the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack in southern Israel, calling attention to “Hamas rape tunnels” in Gaza.

“The posters features a mock Tube map of Gaza, highlighting Hamas’s underground tunnels with labels like ‘Hostage execution tunnel’ and ‘Hamas rape Tunnel,’” the Jewish Chronicle (London) reported.

The posters state: “On Oct. 7th, 2023, Hamas murdered hundreds and kidnapped many more. The U.K. government must do everything possible to secure the release of the 100 hostages still unaccounted for after 365 days of terror.”

The group superimposed the posters over tube maps without permission from the government entity that runs the London Underground. Transport for London has said the unauthorized posters will be removed.

The Jewish Chronicle reported that the posters “have been seen in major stations including King’s Cross, Old Street and South Kensington, as well as in Redbridge and Southgate.”

“It’s yet another example of the Wikipedia editors’ anti-Israel bias,” Alyza Lewin of the Combat Antisemitism Movement told JNS.
“We feel that we made one huge achievement and that is to move the conversation from whether these crimes happened to what are their consequences,” Israeli legal scholar Cochav Elkayam-Levy told JNS.
The prime minister tells Yaniv Hayun he deserves a “global medal of honor” and says Israel will join the probe into the apparent attempt to crash Flight FZ1073.
“The fact that Newsom chose to sign the Eid law before the law that protected other religious observance speaks volumes about the direction he is moving as he eyes a 2028 run for the presidency,” the chair of Jewish engagement for the California Republican Party told JNS.
