• ‘Only resistance will lead to liberation’, bus stop ads go up for a second time across the London borough of Tower Hamlets.
• The urgent call for an end to the genocide continues to resonate profoundly in the hearts of many worldwide, following a year of relentless Israeli bombardment.
39 bus stop ads on 29 different bus stops in London have been lit with pro-Palestinian sentiment across the London borough of Tower Hamlets.
Yesterday morning, many Londoners woke up to bus stop ads with pictures of the victims from Gaza after a whole year of genocide.
More than 40,000 people have been killed in Gaza, with more than a hundred thousand more killed by disease out of Israel’s actions.
While most mainstream British media are commemorating Israeli deaths on October 7, the activists who have chosen to put these bus stop ads up are commemorating the victims of Israel, who have killed more than a thousand times as many Palestinians in Gaza.
The main genocide architects have revealed themselves again
Instead of commemorating the 185,000 deaths in Gaza (Lancet study), the mainstream media has purposefully given the 695 Israeli civilians and 373 Israeli soldiers more attention. This highlights the dehumanisation, demonisation, and political allowance for a genocide to happen by propagating the assumed right of self-defence on a disproportionate scale. October 7 was a self-defence of the people of Palestine in trying to help secure the release of the Palestinian captives in Israeli prisons, a good proportionate of whom are children.
The Tower Hamlets bus stop ads demonstrate diversification, intuitiveness, initiative, and a sign of zero fatigue
The right to defence is something that international law permits and is something that is considered a fundamental right for every nation state. Palestinian civilians continue to show defiance in the face of the onslaught, and the emphasis in the bus stop ads after a whole year of genocide helps push for the Palestinian rights that western governments deny.
The London bus ad’s portrayal of Palestinian victims in Gaza pushes for the nations eyes not to be conditioned by the bias media’s portrayal but rather to understand Palestinian suffering, emphasising the Palestinians’ legitimate right to lawful resistance.
