Israel supporters post ‘rape tunnel maps’ on London Underground

 

 October 7, 2024

Hamas’s extensive tunnel network in Gaza, much of which was dismantled by the IDF, was larger than London’s subway system.

On the first anniversary of the October 7th massacre, Israel supporters placed “rape tunnel map” posters throughout the London Underground to raise awareness about the terror group’s sexual crimes and to advocate for the release of hostages.

The goal of the campaign was to put up posters at every station of “The Tube.”

Hamas’s extensive tunnel network in Gaza, much of which was dismantled by the IDF, was larger than London’s subway system.

Anti-Israel protesters have often used the London Underground as a prime location to post misinformation about the Gaza conflict.

A graphic similar to London Underground maps on the posters suggested Gaza tunnel routes.

The text at the bottom of the posters read, “On October 7th, 2023, Hamas murdered hundreds and kidnapped hundreds. The UK government must do all it can to  ensure the release of 100 hostages still unaccounted for after 365 days of terror.”

The campaign was intended to counteract demonstrations involving tens of thousands of anti-Israel protesters marching through London ahead of the first anniversary of the October 7th massacre.

The group behind the campaign, London Against Hamas, issued a statement, “On the first anniversary of the unimaginable horrors committed by Hamas murderers on October 7th, 2024, the tunnels of London Underground today have featured maps showing that terror organization’s Rape Tunnels of Gaza.”

“Trains on every Underground line now feature “Gaza Underground” maps, reminding Londoners for what appalling purposes Hamas have created their subterranean network – rape, murder, torture, further terrorist activities – as supporters call for the UK Government to do everything to ensure the release of the 100 hostages still unaccounted for after 365 days,” the statement continued.

On Monday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer vowed to “stand behind the Jewish community” and called October 7th “The darkest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust.”

“One year on from these horrific attacks, we must unequivocally stand with the Jewish community and unite as a country. We must never look the other way in the face of hate,” the Prime Minister said.

BBC ‘Inexcusable’ Anti-Semitism

“I simply don’t see how I or in fact any Jew who has any pride in that name can be associated with the Corporation anymore.”

After 30 years of contributing to BBC programming, Rabbi YY Rubinstein resigned over what he called “inexcusable” anti-Semitism. The rabbi posted his resignation letter on Facebook on Tuesday.,

Rabbi Rubinstein, a sought-after writer and international lecturer, was a regular on BBC shows such as “Thought for the Day,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” other TV and radio programs. On some occasions, he even appeared on the BBC’s World Service.

In a letter addressed to a BBC staffer identified only as Gabby, the rabbi wrote, “The current crisis over anti-Semitism at the Corporation and its attempts to turn the victims of the recent anti-Semitic attack on Jewish children in London and claim that the victims were actually the perpetrators, was and is inexcusable. The obfuscation, denial that followed, was and is utterly damning.”

Rabbi Rubinstein noted that the BBC was ranked number three on the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s list of top anti-Semites of 2021, but stressed that this wasn’t a reflection of Gabby or the production people that he worked with during his 30 years with the broadcaster.

But the rabbi concluded, “I simply don’t see how I or in fact any Jew who has any pride in that name can be associated with the Corporation anymore.”

Jews have long been frustrated by the BBC’s coverage of Israel, but anger absolutely boiled over during Chanukah.

Jewish children traveling on a bus in London, on their way to a holiday celebration, were viciously harassed by a group of Muslim anti-Semites in downtown London. The young men shouted “Free Palestine,” made Nazi salutes and other profane gestures, and spat and banged on windows. The attack was caught on video, but police have not found the suspects.

BBC coverage falsely claimed that Islamophobic slurs could be heard from inside the bus, though none were heard in the video. A linguist and forensic audio experts commissioned by the Board of Jewish Deputies concluded that the words in question were somebody saying in Hebrew, “tikra lemishehu, ze dachuf,” which in English means, “Call someone, it’s urgent.”

Former BBC chairman Michael Grade called on the news service to provide the evidence to support their defense or rethink and issue an urgent correction and apology.”

British Jews and lawmakers are demanding the BBC adopt a working definition of anti-Semitism developed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance and pledge to keep to fair standards of coverage of Israel and the Jews.

In a statement to the Jewish Chronicle, a BBC spokesman said, “We are sorry to hear of Rabbi YY Rubinstein’s decision as he has always provided thoughtful and compassionate contributions to our programmes, which have been deeply appreciated by our listeners. Anti-Semitism is abhorrent and we strive to serve the Jewish community, and all communities across the UK, fairly.”

Jews Worldwide under Murderous Attack

 Video Of The Week – Media’s Silence - https://tinyurl.com/9f4f54ed

The Jewish people are under murderous  attack both in Israel and the diaspora. The violence is not confined to the Middle East. There has been a huge upsurge in attacks on diaspora Jews in Britain, Europe and America. On the streets of European cities, demonstrators have been screaming for the destruction of Israel and chanting that the “army of Mohammed” has returned to slaughter the Jews.

Britain’s Jewish defence organisation reports at least a five-fold increase in antisemitic incidents over the course of the Gaza war. The most dramatic example was a four-hour motorcade  around Jewish areas of North London screaming abuse: “F*** the Jews, f*** their daughters, f*** their mothers, rape their daughters and free Palestine.”

What’s happening now is that the Palestinian war against Israel has been reframed as a war against the Jews. Most of this is being perpetrated by Muslims. But it is being reinforced by extreme hostility to Israel from western “progressives.” It’s not just the twisted reporting, distortions and blood libels  that have been transmitted by the BBC, Sky UK, the Guardian, The New York Times  and others. Worse still is the intensity of the perverse and unjustified passions with which Israel is demonised. It’s the spitting outrage that not enough Israelis are dying to justify military action.

 It’s the virulent satisfaction with which every military action that Israel takes  is seized upon as proof of its moral depravity. For a Jew, it’s impossible not to hear the unmistakable echoes of previous horrors — the medieval blood libel against the Jews and the Holocaust. While the Nazi comparison is repeatedly misused, on this occasion it is all too justified. Indeed, it is not too fanciful to view what we are witnessing as the last, overlooked but still active front of the Second World War.

Left-wing thinkers urged a total repudiation of the nation-state. This led to the dogma that Israel was a colonial and illegitimate enterprise, Zionism was racism. In the Muslim world,  Jew-hatred is rooted in Islamic theology. The most notorious Arab Nazi was the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al Husseini. And al Husseini’s most devoted acolyte is the current leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. Today, the Palestinians of both Hamas and Abbas’s Fatah constantly churn out Nazi-style, murderous incitement. The Iranian regime, which funds and arms Hamas, regularly announces its genocidal intentions towards the Jews.

So today’s war against western civilisation and the Jews amounts to infernal unfinished business. But unlike the Second World War, when those in the free world on the side of the fascists were regarded as traitors, such people today march with those pledged to Islamic holy war against the Jews. The heirs to the Nazis are still intent upon the same terrible aims. The difference now is that those fighting for civilisation are being undermined by an enormous fifth column.
