London, footage posted online by journalist Ruby Lott-Lavigna appeared to show the chant being led over the train’s speaker system. The driver of the Central line service said, “Free, free,” to which the passengers responded, “Palestine” – a popular chant at protests.
Scully said: “At a time when there’s not enough emphasis on the difference between the horrific terrorist attacks by Hamas and the legitimate concerns of Palestinians in Gaza, it’s really important that Londoners don’t stoke the tension in our capital where Jews live peacefully alongside Muslims.“Informed protest can bring change. But on-trend bandwagons can cause rifts and fear in communities, increasing the threat to the safety of some passengers travelling among those crowds.
British Transport Police assistant chief constable Sean O’Callaghan said the force was “aware of footage circulating on social media which suggests chants are led by driver of a train in London earlier”.
