Question: You really, really hate Jews but really, really love the very Jewish food bagels. What’s a woman (who works for a well-known charity) to do?
Answer: Ask for advice on TikTok!

It’s actually almost humorous how she twists herself like a bagel pretzel to avoid using the “J” word. But let’s be clear: we all know who she means, especially considering who runs the Bagel shops of New York.
At least she understands that being Jewish and being Zionist are almost always congruous.
If only she had asked for a place she can eat ka’ak… because now she’s eating kaka.
Since being exposed and mocked for this, Yasmin Ghaffar has removed her LinkedIn profile and made private her TikTok account.
According to the JC, she is a member of Save the Children’s public affairs team “frequently in Westminster speaking to MPs and other parliamentarians on behalf of the charity.” And Save the Children are in damage control mode:
A spokesperson for Save the Children told the JC that: “The language used in this TikTok is unacceptable and does not in any way reflect the views of Save the Children UK”, adding that they were “deeply sorry for the offence caused”.
They went on: “Our social media guidelines prohibit staff from posting offensive content. This post came to the attention of SCUK managers early on Sunday morning. The staff member took down the post as soon as they were asked to do so.”
The spokesperson added that Ghaffar had been placed on leave while an internal investigation was carried out.
Unfortunately, when it comes to Save the Children, Ghaffar might be more of a feature than a bug.
