Labour Councillor Suspended For Comparing Israelis To Nazis
The Labour Party has suspended a councillor and former mayor in Newport, Wales for describing Israeli security policy in Gaza as a “final solution.” His past social media posts are even worse…
Yesterday evening, Cllr. Miqdad Al-Nuaimi, who has represented Labour on Newport City Council since 2000 and has been the city’s former mayor, tweeted: “A Final Solution for the Gazans, 2million people, Genocidal annihilation.”
His comments were in response to Israel launching retaliatory attacks on Gaza after terrorist organization Hamas carried out a series of war crimes against innocent Israelis.
The gunmen breached the southern border over the weekend, executing civilians and kidnapping a number of men, women and children.
Al-Nuaimi’s reference to the Nazi’s “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” is not the first time he has come under fire for antisemitism.
Civilians, mostly teenagers, fleeing for their lives after Hamas terrorists targeted the Nova music festival in southern Israel, killing over 260.
In 2014, the Newport Labour councillor said that Israel was forcing Gazans to flee into “the subterranean tunnels so that the maximum number can be incinerated in the shortest time,” adding: #FinalSolution achieved!”
Miqdad Al-Nuaimi was suspended in May, 2016 over tweets including: “Jews in whose name #Israeli #Zionist regime commit war crimes should worry: it’s same arrogant mentality as #nazis”.
The Iraqi-born councillor was later informed by letter he had been cleared.
“I feel great,” he told BBC Wales at the time. “I’ve always campaigned against all forms of racism and discrimination.”
Last month, Al-Nuaimi criticised the IHRA definition of antisemitism: “There is only one purpose for the IHRA definition and that’s to help #ApartheidIsrael in conflating Israel’s criticism with A/S [antisemitism].
He added: “It’s to help the #Zionists to smear those who oppose the bill occupation of #Palestinian lands their theft and the removal of the indigenous people.”
Al-Nuaimi has now been administratively suspended from membership of the Labour Party, pending investigation.
Meanwhile, another Labour councillor has been caught supporting Hamas’ attack on Israel. VoteWatch will have an exclusive article out on the matter this evening.
