“This is for Palestine,” the women can be heard saying, as they tear down the posters which had been tapped on multiple sides to the walls.

The footage has been blasted as “disgusting and shameful” by social media users.

One user said: “These are the two charmers who ripped down posters of children taken by terrorists.

“They support the kidnap and terrorising of children. Disgusting & shameful depravity on our London streets. They support terrorists let’s be very clear about that.”

• BBC reporter resigns in protest over broadcaster's refusal to brand Hamas terrorists

Another wrote: “Imagine being so deranged - so full of Jew hate - you rip down a poster pleading for the return of hostages.”

A third said: “Heartless witches. Surely, no matter what nation you may have sympathies for, everyone can condemn this as a disgusting action?”

Israel Defence Force officials suggest as many as 150 people have been taken hostage by the terrorist organisation, including babies.

In the footage, passersby can be heard asking the women “Why don’t you do something for Palestine?”

One of the women removing posters replies: “This is for Palestine”.

Another voice in the video tells the women that support for Palestine and Israeli hostages is “not mutually exclusive”, adding: “It’s children, it’s innocent people”.

The woman replies snaps: “What about the children in Palestine?
