1. The BDS is not short of ideas
Moshe ,   Israel   (02.22.16)
(false or true) for such ads. Israel's NGO's (and Haaretz paper), defended vigorously by the powerful internal Left, provide them profusely.
2. BDS and Racism
Jez ,   netanya   (02.22.16)
It is time for Israel to call a spade a spade. BDS is a viscous racist organisation. Their leaders should be sued
3. Oh plz: the perfidious Albion doesn't like going down alone,
(02.22.16)
that's why they try to take us down with them....Anyway: they're antisemitic by birth, just like their Polish counterparts. The difference being, the official Poland is VERY pro-Israel! We do appreciate that!
4. Well done Yair
Mike ,   Tel Aviv   (02.22.16)
5. TFL, G4S, BBC should sue
Ben ,   London, UK   (02.22.16)
It shouldn't be hard for Transport for London to identify the idiots posting these flyers - there are cameras everywhere. Given the slander and misuse of their company logos, G4S and the BBC must have a good case to sue the perpetrators.
6. under apartheid do arabs & jews shop at the same stores?
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (02.22.16)
The fact is, the situation in Israel is the opposite of apartheid. Palestinians and Israeli Jews shop & work together in supermarket where a terrorist killed a man was killed last week. There are industrial zones in Judea & Samaria such as Mishor Adumim where Jews & Arabs work side by side. In many cities in Israel such as Haifa, Jaffa, Lod & Ramle Jews & Arabs are neighbors. This is the opposite of apartheid.
7. Anti-Israel ads cover Lon. Underground
mark ,   uk   (02.22.16)
even if they will be removed the damage is done if all political advertising is banned the BDS should be found and prosecuted
8. anti israel ads cover london underground
joe ,   uk   (02.22.16)
if such adverts are banned why TFL did not do anything at the time when they were put there are thousands of security cameras all over London underground network
9. Easy counter-ad: "THIS TUBE WAS BOMBED BY MUSLIMS TERRORISTS
Andre ,   Clichy, France   (02.22.16)
Easy counter-ad: "THIS TUBE WAS BOMBED BY MUSLIMS TERRORISTS. in 2004. If the Brits don't understand, fast enough, there will be more bombs from those terrorist-muslims, palestinians or others...WAKE UP, EUROPEANS !
10. They are activist stickers not ads

Political ads on LT are not allowed

12. the facts: BDSers put these up illegally and
(02.22.16)
they have already been taken down.
13. The Arabs Have Always Lied to Themselves....
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (02.22.16)
now, they are lying to world. This is what they are good at: fabricating. It is a shame that the British authorities are unable to distinguish between black and white, right and wrong, truth and lies. Or maybe, they are simply are unwilling to understand the consequences of a public, anti-Semitic campaign such as this. Oh, well. Their new Moslem immigrants will teach them the hard way.
14. If Israel is soooo bad.....
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (02.22.16)
why do the Arab pals insist on trying to steal every inch of Jewish Israel? KEEP BUILDING !!!
15. Sue those persons who paid for the ads!!
Beary White ,   Norway   (02.22.16)
Then make the names public, find out where they are employed, and tell the CEO's to fire the shit....those companies must be told they have muslim terrorists in their midst....
16. Anti-Israel ads
Mark   (02.22.16)
And I complaint about a "Free Palestine -Boycot Israel" sticker in a London underground station a few years ago... Now there is much more to complaint about. Seems like, they totally forgot, who attacked them in 2005.
17. MUSLIMS
DANNY TAWIL. ,   ENGLAND THE NEW MECC   (02.22.16)
TODAY I RANG THE ISRAELI EMBASSY AAND SAID WHY DONT YOU COUNTER EASY AD WHY DO MUSLIMS LIKE KILLING EATHOTHER, THATS FOOD FOR THOUGHT? LONG LIVE ISRAEL DESTROY BDS NOW
18. Time to do likewise
Stephen ,   Laval, QC, Canada   (02.22.16)
Time for some enterprising group to do likewise. Images of armed and masked Arabs, images of slaughtered Jews, aftermath of the handiwork of bombers, Hamas dragging anyone who disagrees with it behind trucks just so everyone knows exactly who BDS supports. Oh yes, show a photo of everyone working at Sodastream before it moved, and a shot of the former factory now deserted with how many Arabs went out of work as a result of BDS. Lets see how quickly the Underground takes down those signs. Maybe now limit this to the Underground. Lamp posts, walls, sides of buses, and don't forget to wear a disguise for the CCT cameras.
19. A Tactical Error by BDS
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (02.22.16)
All the illegal fly posters were removed very quickly.Thanks TFL. A huge tactical error by BDS. The analogy with Apartheis is not only incorrect, but inept. I wonder how many Britis under 40 even know what Apartheid was. Those over 40 or with more knowledge look at SA today with dismay and disappointed ennui. The Palestinian cause is lost in the midst of slaughters in Syria, and a Europe increasingly hostile and fearful of anything related to ISLAM and the muslim world.
20. BDS ads.
lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (02.22.16)
To all those who jumped to the conclusion that these were bought and paid for ads to TFL please be aware that they were illegal flyposters and are being removed. In every country there are those spray paint slogans and stick pamphlets with their own agenda. It was not sanctioned by TFL....get the facts.
21. BDS
ky   (02.22.16)
is exposed by its actions in getting their supporters to put up these one sided flyers on the subway. Firstly it is stealing from the commuter by not paying for advertising which help keep fares at a reasonable level. Secondly there is a ruling that has been in place for many years and is commonly known by the London travelling public that any political advertising on public transport is banned for reasons of public safety.To ignore this is knowingly an act of incitement. They must be taken to court by TFL
22. UK is invaded by Islamists
C   (02.22.16)
these islamists want to impose sharia and their way of life on the people of the uk. they often succeed since the authorities are afraid of being called racists so they let the islamists commit crimes even against young girls. even worse, the eu's court refuses to let the uk deport islamist terrorists on various spurious grounds. if the uk wants to survive as a western democracy, it must take back the country from a small minority of islamist criminals.
23. BDS is a racist movement
Stephen in New York   (02.22.16)
BDS is a racist movement that applies a set of standards to Israel that do not apply to any other nation. Or in history. England and Europe are finished, soon to become provinces of Greater Syria.
24. anti-semitism?
New Yorker ,   NY, USA   (02.22.16)
at rhe risk of sounding naive why do these people have such a bug up their ass about Israel? where is the rage about the Tibetans, Ukranians, Kurds, cypriots? or the carnage in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan? Moslems on Moslems, this is OK? acceptable? to be expected? is that not racist? but the Jews of Israel, far from pefect, but essentially defending themselves, this warrants hysteria? what is this really about?
25. Hasbara does a great job at hiding the truth
Jim   (02.22.16)
Here is a bit of jews history that got buried. .Imam al-Hamas murder. The official account claimed that Iman was shot as she walked towards an army post with her schoolbag because soldiers feared she was carrying a bomb. But the tape recording of the radio conversation between soldiers at the scene reveals that, from the beginning, she was identified as a child and at no point was a bomb spoken about nor was she described as a threat. Iman was also at least 100 yards from any soldier. Instead, the tape shows that the soldiers swiftly identified her as a "girl of about 10" who was "scared to death". The tape also reveals that the soldiers said Iman was headed eastwards, away from the army post and back into the refugee camp, when she was shot. At that point, Captain R took the unusual decision to leave the post in pursuit of the girl. He shot her dead and then "confirmed the kill" by emptying his magazine into her body. The tape recording is of a three-way conversation between the army watchtower, the army post's operations room and the captain, who was a company commander. The soldier in the watchtower radioed his colleagues after he saw Iman: "It's a little girl. She's running defensively eastward." Operations room: "Are we talking about a girl under the age of 10?" Watchtower: "A girl of about 10, she's behind the embankment, scared to death." A few minutes later, Iman is shot in the leg from one of the army posts. The watchtower: "I think that one of the positions took her out." The company commander then moves in as Iman lies wounded and helpless. Captain R: "I and another soldier ... are going in a little nearer, forward, to confirm the kill ... Receive a situation report. We fired and killed her ... I also confirmed the kill. Over." Witnesses described how the captain shot Iman twice in the head, walked away, turned back and fired a stream of bullets into her body. Doctors at Rafah's hospital said she had been shot at least 17 times. On the tape, the company commander then "clarifies" why he killed Iman: "This is commander. Anything that's mobile, that moves in the zone, even if it's a three-year-old, needs to be killed. Over." The army's original account of the killing said that the soldiers only identified Iman as a child after she was first shot. But the tape shows that they were aware just how young the small, slight girl was before any shots were fired. The commander was charged with illegal use of his weapon, conduct unbecoming an officer and perverting the course of justice by an Israeli military court but was found not guilty. Subsequent to his acquittal, Captain R. was promoted to the rank of major
26. Why do jews hate the truth?
BDS is justified.   (02.22.16)
27. Europe embraces the terrorists who murder them!
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.22.16)
What is known as "European civilization" is rapidly imploding. Their birthrate is well below replacement. Their economies are crashing. Europe rushes to submit to the backward violent "culture" of invading, violent Muslims. While embracing the terrorists who murder them. Perhaps the E.U. and the Muslim invaders deserve each other.
28. it was only 2 adverts, the news articles make it out to be
Michelle Cohen ,   Monaco / London   (02.22.16)
literally all over the vast train network. Social media isnt helping either and falling right into BDS hands..
29. # 25 What is your source
Moshe ,   Israel   (02.22.16)
of this detailed information ? Hamas ? Even if it is true, why you don't write too about the many Jewish children and babies DELIBERATELY murdered by the Palestinians ? In every war there are mishaps, and it may occur also to perhaps the most moral army like IDF.
30. To 26. Whos truth?
