London Transport Worker Reportedly Refuses to Remove Anti-Israel Graffiti, Saying ‘There Should Be More of It’

A supervisor employed by Transport for London (TfL) reportedly refused to remove anti-Israel graffiti and told a commuter “there should be more of it,” according to UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).

The organization said the incident occurred in August after a passenger found the words “Free Palestine” written across a service board at Bank Station in the British capital. When no staff were available, the individual asked a friend to report it at Liverpool Street Station.

There, the friend encountered a supervisor wearing a badge featuring the Palestinian flag and the words “Palestine Solidarity.” UKLFI said both the supervisor and another TfL employee reacted aggressively to the report. Instead of addressing the vandalism, the supervisor allegedly praised it.

UKLFI later informed TfL, describing the behavior as deliberately rude, offensive, and hateful toward the passenger who raised the concern.

This report came just days after another antisemitic incident on London’s transport network — when a bus driver verbally abused and confined an Orthodox Jewish passenger.
