A teacher at a Catholic Girls’ school in Wimbledon has been suspended and reported to police for glorifying Hamas and claiming the proscribed terror group “committed no crime” on October 7.

Ronan Preastuin, a Year 9 tutor and Religious Education teacher at Ursuline High School, also described the Hamas terror attack as a “justified act of resistance” and prayed for a Hamas victory over “the grotesque, barbaric, idol-worshipping invaders IDF”.

In the string of incendiary messages posted this year, Preastuin also said the “destruction of the racist state of Isarel (sic) is coming soon” and wrote “glory to Hamas”.

In another post on March 26, Preastuin called Hamas and Hezbollah “freedom fighters and defenders of humanity.”
