Ohhhhhh no you don’t.
Via the Green Party, Mothin Ali’s notpology:
I am sorry for any upset my comments caused about the Gaza conflict. That was not my intention. Like many across the world I have been deeply impacted by the dreadful conflict currently underway in Gaza. The International Court of Justice said this conflict meets the case for plausible genocide.
That is the definition of a notpology, that “I’m tho thorry you were offennnnnnnded” switch.
Being elected to represent the wonderful community of Gipton and Harehills was one of the proudest moments of my life. The inaccurate reporting and misrepresentation of my acceptance speech has led to me being subject to a lot of hate and hostility. I should also make clear that it is not unusual for somebody of my faith to use the words ‘Allahu Akbar’ as an expression of gratitude and celebration. Some have sought to misrepresent this and it suggests Islamophobia to me.
Oh yes oh yes oh yes he was all gratitude and celebration when he said it, wasn’t he. It wasn’t one bit an angry scowling snarl. Also it’s not a bit relevant that men who massacre infidels shout “Allahu Akbar” as they do it.

Talking about massacres…
But the upset wasn’t about the conflict, the upset was about what he said. He didn’t even notpologise for his comments.
