UK lord suspended as head of housing association after X post against Hamas
2024-02-20
[IsraelTimes] UK Housing Secretary Michael Gove slams a housing association for moving to oust a former member of parliament who mocked UNRWA’s claim it was unaware Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
was operating under its headquarters in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
"Everyone, better safe than sorry: before you go to bed, nip down and check you haven’t inadvertently got a death cult of Islamist murderers and rapists running their operations downstairs. It’s easily done," Lord Austin wrote in a post that he’s since deleted and apologized for.

Midland Heart announced Friday it was suspending him as chairman for 14 days "to discuss his removal from the board" over the social media comments. According to The Telegraph, the move followed a campaign accusing him of "Islamaphobia" by the group Moslem Engagement and Development, which the UK government’s counter-extremism program says has "a well-established track record of working alongside hard boys."

"I am deeply concerned by Midland Heart’s actions in seeking to remove Lord Austin from their board. I will be writing to the board to demand an urgent meeting and explanation," Gove says. "Not only is Ian a champion for affordable housing, he has spent his career fighting racism.
An admirably nonpartisan response. Ian Austin was Labour until he went Independent in 2019 — after being one of the three Labour MPs to vote with the Tories for Brexit.
Islam is a religion of peace,
Check. Pro forma nonsense spouted...
but Islamists — including the proscribed terrorist organization Hamas — are forces of Evil characterized by violence and oppression who seek to undermine our democratic values. They must be challenged wherever we encounter them."
Hear, hear!
