Met detective sergeant sacked over ‘antisemitic’ post about Gaza

Me too.

I’m Jewish and this concerns me. A friend of mine looked up her (Muslim) dentist online and found she’d spouted some disgusting views, so she changed surgeries.

I’m sure some moderate Muslims feel like this too, but the obsession w Gaza has gone too far now and it’s just an excuse for blatant Jew-hate. Maybe these fuckwits should look at Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran for a change. I’m not saying Israel doesn’t have its faults, and Netanyahu is a cunt, but do people hate all Russians because of Putin?

I wonder how many other antisemites are in the health service. Makes me worried that the person treating me is going home and praising terrorists online. Will I get proper treatment from them? There were those nurses in Australia who bragged about how they would let an Israeli patient die. And those are the ones stupid enough to get caught.

There are a lot more anti-Semites who should be held to account, but this is a start.

From The Independent:

A Metropolitan Police detective sergeant has been sacked after posting “overtly political” content on social media regarding the conflict in Gaza, including one comment that was deemed antisemitic.

Rebecca Collens served within the Road and Transport Policing Command.

She reshared an image labelled “Palestine 2024” alongside an image of victims from what seemed to be a concentration camp, labelled “Germany 1945”.

The post carried the caption: “The world said never again and here we are again 79 years later.”

Alongside the post, she commented: “A classic case of the abused becomes the abuser… no?”, a police misconduct panel heard.

On one occasion, she shared a post which read: “Stop calling this a war. There is no parity of power. Israel is one of the most powerful, nuclear-armed militaries on earth, funded, equipped and backed unconditionally by the single most powerful, nuclear-armed military in the history of the world. This is genocide.”

In another post, she reshared what appeared to be a graphic comparing the number of children killed per day in Auschwitz with the number of children killed per day in Gaza, the Met said.

The panel said that Ms Collens had accepted that the use of the word “abused” would refer to Jewish people rather than the State of Israel, which did not exist in 1945. Therefore, the post fell within the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.

The posts were collectively deemed “overtly political”, and the panel found they “demonstrated a lack of impartiality and presented a one-sided view of the Gaza conflict during a time of heightened public controversy” after the events of 7 October 2023, which led to the war in Gaza.

Regarding the post found by the panel to be antisemitic, the panel wrote: “Within the IHRA working definition there are contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life and found the following example to be relevant in relation to this one post: the drawing of comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

“The panel concluded that on the balance of probabilities the post itself is antisemitic, whether or not the officer had appreciated at the time it would be considered so.”

Ms Collens said she felt “horrified about being called antisemitic; mortified and heartbroken”, the panel wrote.

Detective chief superintendent Donna Smith said: “DS Collens’s conduct was wholly unacceptable and I find it inconceivable that she did not think these posts could be seen as offensive or overtly political.

“There is no room in the organisation for anyone who thinks this type of behaviour is appropriate. We are building a culture where anyone can feel welcome in the Met and those who undermine this are not suitable to serve.”

Is she still going?

Having been suspended for 15 months from November 25 for content that allegedly “justifies terrorism, denies sexual violence, includes antisemitic conspiracy theories, misuses Holocaust and Nazi imagery and expresses support for proscribed groups and terrorist acts” she ought to have the sense to lie low for a bit.

If some of them had a bit of self awareness and looked up the definition of fascist the cognitive dissonance would shake them apart.

I think everyine else is fine - just the zionists. I expect they don't like 'fascists' either, but how do you spot a fascist?

God, I don't want to... it's such disappointing behaviour in people who you like to assume have some concept of "putting patients first".

All patients that is - from whatever race/ethnicity/religion - not just the ones they identify with or like.

What a world - where we have to legislate to stop NHS staff being racist. Do check out the footage of NHS staff doing a dance where they 'kick the zionists' just last Saturday.
