Metric Football The Jewish Chronicle first reported that Ruben Gnanalingam reposted messages on his LinkedIn page including comments urging "armies" to "dismantle" Israel and one that compared the war 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 a rusty 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 oppressionand disproportionate response... with the Holocaust. Another repost called Hezbollah a resistance movement "whether you like it or not." Gnanalingam, a Malaysian businessman and also vice chairman of second-division English club Queen’s Park Rangers, said in a statement that he deeply regretted that content on his social media account had caused distress and concern. "It was never my intention to offend or harm anyone, and I take responsibility for not exercising greater caution before sharing these posts," he wrote. "I sincerely apologize to those affected, including my colleagues, friends, and family. "As someone who values unity, diversity, and respect for all people, I take full responsibility for my actions and have since removed the reposts," he added. "I have decided to step away from social media for the foreseeable future to focus on my professional responsibilities and ensure my communication reflects the values and high standards expected of me as a global business leader." Gnanalingam added that he was committed to learning from his action and working closely with MLS, LAFC, QPR and other organizations to ensure he handles matters of public communication with greater care. Gnanalingam’s social media reposts were discovered by the investigative group GnasherJew and shared with The Jewish Chronicle. The MLS and LAFC condemned Gnanalingam’s reposts in a joint statement.
