U.K. Labour Party Former Mayor Under Fire Over Facebook Post Saying Hitler Killed 'Six Million Zionists' - Jewish World - Haaretz - Israel News Haaretz.com: In one Facebook post, Khadim Hussain, former Lord Mayor of Bradford, alleged the Israel was secretly arming ISIS. Hussain also allegedly shared a post which attacked Holocaust education in schools and said that Hitler killed "six million Zionists."

“Your school education system only tells you about Anne Frank and the six million Zionists that were killed by Hitler,” the post read.

Hussain, who was suspended by the party after complaints were lodged over his Facebook use, said he decided to quit the party due to its handling of the matter, and claimed that he received no answer to his letter rejecting the allegations of anti-Semitism.

“[The] party didn't give me a fair hearing to listen to my side before the suspension. That left me with no choice to sever my links with the party," he told the Chronicle. "I worked hard for interfaith dialogue and community cohesion. I will continue to play my role in that regard,” he added.
