January 3, 2019 13:34A former Labour mayor has been accused of antisemitism after he suggested the Holocaust receives disproportionate prominence in schools.
The post showed an image of Hitler, captioned with the words “Killed six million Jews”, alongside photos of Cecil Rhodes and Leopold II of Belgium, who the graphic claimed were responsible for 60 million and 15 million deaths, respectively.
Underneath the image a caption read: “Hitler killed 6 million Jews and these other two serial killers killed 70 million Africans combined but your school education system only tells you about Anne Frank and the 6 million Zionists that were killed by Hitler.
“Black lives never mattered since the slave ship.”
