Labour councillor Aysegul Gurbuz, 20 year old Muslim, of the High Town ward in Luton, near London has been suspended over racist tweets where she praised Hitler and prays for Israel to be annihilated by nuclear bombs. Here are a few of her offending tweets:
So, she thinks Hitler was the greatest man who ever lived and wants to see Israel wiped out by nukes, but she’s not hating on Jews. I would not enjoy being someone she hated then. She is not the first member of Britain’s labor party to be an anti-Semite and she won’t be the last. She now says she shares a Twitter account with her sister and has no idea how those tweets got on there:
“It was a joint account I had with my sister so I don’t know if she’s gone out and tweeted that, but I’m absolutely appalled right now. Where I live we’ve got very good cohesion with the Jewish community. … I’m absolutely shocked.”
I’m not.
