(JTA) The ethics panel of Britain’s pharmaceutical regulatory agency ruled that a member’s claim that “Zionists” were guilty of “murder” in the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire was “offensive but not anti-Semitic.”
The Practice Committee of the General Pharmaceutical Council declined on Thursday to take disciplinary action against Nazim Ali, a pharmacist who reportedly made the claim in a speech at the June 2017 Al-Quds march in London.
“Some of the biggest supporters of the Conservative Party are Zionists,” Ali said. “They are responsible for the murder of the people in Grenfell. The Zionist supporters of the Tory Party. Free, free, Palestine!”
Dozens of people died in the 2017 fire at Grenfell Tower, [a] low-rent housing complex in London.
