Posters Showing Israeli Kidnap Victims Torn Down in London

A number of people were seen tearing down posters showing Israeli kidnap victims in London in video posted on October 24.

Footage by Jewish News editor Richard Ferrer shows the incident, near London’s Leicester Square.

In the video, a woman is asked why she is removing posters of people kidnapped “by terrorists.” Another man asks if she “loves human life.” She responds, “I do love human life,” as she continues to remove the posters.

After the people move away, a number of posters can be seen on the ground.

The posters were designed by kidnappedfromisrael.com, following Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7.
