Related: About this forum(Jewish Group) UK Teacher Who Wrote 'We Hate Jews' Is Deemed 'Not Antisemitic,'But Will Be Suspended
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)A teacher in the United Kingdom who said we hate Jews is not antisemitic, according to a panel that reviewed his conduct and recommended that he be banned from returning to the classroom for at least three years.
Harpreet Singh the former head of mathematics at Sandye Place Academy, a secondary school in Bedfordshire was first suspended and ultimately dismissed from his position after a number of his social media posts on Jews, Zionism, and Israel were uncovered in June 2017.
Every sane human is anti semitic, Singh claimed in one post. Because you bastards have made Zionism synonymous with the mistreatment of Palestinians. Billions are anti semitic and proud of it.
Israel should be wiped of [sic] the planet, he continued. Dogs! The chosen race?!?!?!! What an insult to God!
In another instance, he wrote, Of course we hate Jews. Israel is the most evil regime on the planet. Supported by Jews from within and from around the world. A token 20-30 Jews speak out.

WOW! What a shocker! One can say "I hate Jews!" and not be an anti-Semite! Sounds SOOOOOOOO familiar. If only she had said, "some of my best friends are Jews" or "I have Jewish heritage somewhere in my past" maybe she could have even avoided suspension.

Even when it is obviously about Jews, bigots make excuses. Don't dare say anything bad about minorities, unless the minority is a Jew.
