Disturbing anti-Israel ads are continuing to pop up on city subway trains, leaving red-faced MTA officials fuming, The Post has learned.
“Free Palestine. The US spends your tax money on a genocide in Gaza,” one professional-looking poster spotted on an F train this week reads. “Read up. Get Organized. Fight back.”

Gerard Felitti, a lawyer with the pro-Israeli group #EndJewHatred, accused the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of not doing enough to get rid of the offensive signs.
“The Jewish community is fed up,” Felitti told The Post on Wednesday.
“[The MTA] are dragging their feet. It’s just as bad as when we initially complained about it,” he said, referring to other anti-Israel ads — including one reading “Israel Bombs. USA Pays. How many kids did you kill today?” — that the group flagged to the transit agency months ago.
“They have a legal responsibility not to harass or discriminate against Jews,” Felitti said, noting those behind the rogue ads are “not targeting the Russians for genocide. They’re not targeting the Chinese. It’s just Israel.”
One troubled X user called the phony ads “deeply disturbing.”
“These posters not only misrepresent facts but also [incite] violence against the Jewish community,” she wrote. “The content is designed to manipulate public opinion with misleading information, fostering an environment of hate, antisemitism, and tension between communities.”
In an email Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said the agency was aware of the unauthorized ads and would address the issue.
“It appears to be a vandalized advertising window in which someone has placed an unauthorized item over the actual paid ad,” the spokesman said.
“The subways department is vigilant for this type of situation, and when spotted, it’s removed promptly.”
The MTA also took heat earlier this year over anti-Israel artwork and posters plastered over legit ads in the subways.
A frustrated MTA boss Janno Lieber later accused #EndJewHatred of launching “a cyber attack” against the agency for not moving fast enough on the offensive faux ads.
The controversy comes as the Big Apple continues to see an uptick in antisemitic protests and incidents over the Israeli-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
Thousands of students have occupied college campuses in New York City and beyond to protest Israel’s handling of the war, while acts of bigoted vandalism continue to plague the five boroughs.
Earlier this week, rowdy pro-Palestinian protesters vandalized a World War I monument in Central Park and burned a US flag at the scene after being blocked by cops from storming the Met Gala.
