Bath Mayor Quits over False Posts About Jewish Ambulance Charity
Dr Bharat Pankhania resigned to take responsibility after retweeting posts alleging an antisemitic arson on four ambulances, leading to his suspension by the Liberal Democrat group.
- On Monday, March 30, Mayor of Bath Bharat Pankhania resigned after sharing social media posts describing the arson of Jewish charity ambulances in London as an "Israeli false flag operation."
- Four Hatzola ambulances were torched in Golders Green on March 23, an attack law enforcement has deemed an antisemitic hate crime under investigation by counter-terror police.
- Pankhania also reposted content suggesting the arson was insurance fraud; the Liberal Democrats suspended him before he took "clear personal responsibility for his actions" by resigning.
- Although he resigned as mayor, Pankhania remains a councillor for Combe Down as an independent, stating the posts "have never aligned" with his values and beliefs.
- Antisemitic false flag allegations have surged recently, according to the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate, while Deputy Mayor Ian Halsall will manage civic engagements until June 6.
