EXCLUSIVE: Images of kidnapped Israeli children projected onto iconic London buildings
#BringThemBack campaign at New Oxford Street, the Shard, Wembley and Tate Modern follows similar initiatives in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami.
Images of the children kidnapped by Hamas terrorists nine days ago have been projected onto iconic locations across the capital, including Baker Street, Tate Modern and Wembley.
The #BringThemBack campaign is led by a group of ‘concerned global citizens’ who have joined together across major cities including New York, LA, Chicago, and Miami.
In an effort to raise awareness, all the images being projected are of the children being held hostage.
A spokesperson from the campaign told Jewish News: ‘The calculated kidnap of nine-month-old Kfir and other children has shocked and sickened the humane world.
‘Our hearts and those of all good people around the globe bleed at the thought of what those beautiful children and the nearly 200 kidnapped innocents are going through.
“We are determined to keep their faces in the public consciousness and won’t rest until each and every one of the hostages are home. We hope that this campaign at prominent locations across London and the rest of the world encourages all to join this effort.’
The #BringThemBack group has focused its attention on securing marquee billboard sites that can be seen by the largest number of people and not removed by anyone.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
