A fake advert for the Israeli company Monday.com, displaying anti-Israel propaganda, in a train on the Victoria Line of the London Underground has been reported by a passenger to UKLFI.

Monday.com is a work platform that helps businesses manage tasks. It does frequently advertise on the tube, but this time the fake ads are being used to display antisemitic propaganda and abusive accusations against an Israeli company, including genocide, ethnic cleansing and cultural erasure.

Having been notified by a passenger about this false advertisement, UKLFI has contacted Transport for London (TfL) to request that the adverts be removed.

The advert is in the same style as Monday.com’s genuine adverts, but says “Monday.com  – for whatever you run.  Even … An apartheid state.” And then it lists “Genocide”, “Ethnic Cleansing” and “Cultural Erasure” as projects run by different people, along with their status of “Needs attention”, “On track” and “At risk”.

This display of an unauthorised advertisement is a criminal offence under Section 224(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act (TCPA) 1990.  UKLFI has pointed out that TfL should take immediate action to remove all such advertisements in its network.

Caroline Turner, director of UKLFI commented: “TfL need to act now to prevent further and continuing distress to its passengers caused by such propaganda displayed potentially all over the London Underground network”.
