  • FACT CHECK: Photo Of ‘Kidnapped’ Billboard Was Taken In New Jersey, Not Australia A photo shared on x, the platform formerly known as Twitter, allegedly shows an Australian billboard with the faces of kidnapped people. Try ripping this down assholes. Thank you Melbourne, Australia pic.twitter.com/ko4LGF7Kmw — Aviva Klompas (@AvivaKlompas) November 15, 2023 Verdict: False The photo is miscaptioned. It was actually taken in Lakewood, New Jersey, not Australia. Fact Check: Many people are hanging up posters of Israelis captured by Hamas, some of which are puzzled by a pattern of anti-Israeli protestors taking these down, according to NBC News. The “Kidnapped from Israel” series of flyers have gone viral as they advocate for the release of over 200 hostages, USA Today reported. An X image shows a billboard with numerous headshots of people. In the center, white text on a red background says “KIDNAPPED.” The caption reads, “Try ripping this down assholes. Thank you Melbourne, Australia.” The photo is miscaptioned, however. A July 2022 Google Maps view of Lakewood, New Jersey shows the same area, including The logo of the advertising company Scoop Outdoor, which serves Lakewood, can also be seen on the billboard. Scoop Outdoor made a post showing the billboard display in various other locations, as well as the one seen in the original post. “We stand with Israel,” the post reads, implying that the billboards show kidnapped Israelis.
