You know those subway maps that make navigating London's Underground a breeze? Well, someone took that concept and turned it into an underground horror story.
On the first anniversary of the October 7th massacre, posters popped up in the London Underground. But these weren't your usual ads for the latest Broadway show or a sale at Harrods. Nope, these were like a subway map from hell, detailing Hamas' tunnel system under Gaza, complete with cheery labels like "Hostage Execution Tunnel" and "Hamas Rape Tunnel". Charming, right?
The folks at London Against Hamas are behind this graphic design nightmare. Their goal? To make sure everyone knows about the 100+ hostages still in Gaza, a year after being snatched. They're not messing around with their messaging: "The UK Government must do everything possible to secure the release of these folks after 365 days of terror."
And while Transport for London (TfL) isn't thrilled about these unauthorized decor additions and are taking them down, it's hard to ignore the stark reminder. Especially when you see the names at the bottom of these maps - Raisa Nimrovsky, Yochoved Shashon, and Shimon Ben-Aroyta. These three were victims of past Hamas attacks, like the 2001 Sbarro pizzeria bombing and the Netanya Passover massacre.
It's a grim, yet clever way to say, "Hey, this isn't new. Hamas has been crashing parties and family dinners for decades."
So, while TfL scrambles to peel these off the walls, Londoners are left with a dark, underground history lesson that's hard to forget.

PermalinkSo odd if other articles didn't. Their names are at the bottom of the posters!
Shimon Ben-Aroyta was one of 30 people killed in a suicide bombing in the Park Hotel in the coastal city of Netanya, in the midst of the Passover holiday seder in 2002.
Raisa Nimrovsky was one of 21 people killed in a suicide bombing at a Tel-Aviv discotheque in 2001.
Yocheved Shoshan was only ten years old when was one of 16 people killed in a suicide bombing in a Sbarro pizzeria 2001.
