British Muslim police officer loses job over a decade old anti-Jews post
A British Muslim police officer, Ruby Begum was sacked from her position over a decade old social media post allegedly containing anti-Jews remarks.
The 29-year-old Metropolitan Police officer faced disciplinary action for the outdated post, The Telegraph reported.
She joined the force full-time in 2016.
In the post Begum wrote: “Israel has no limits. Scumbags. I can’t wait for the day they get severely punished.”
She gained recognition in 2020 for her viral photo confronting anti-lockdown protesters.
However, in 2021, her social media came under scrutiny in which 25,000 posts made between 2013 and 2019.
The investigative panel deemed Begum’s statements “hateful and prejudiced,” concluding they fell short of police standards.
