A former Cambridge academic who told a 13-year-old Israeli girl she would only answer her questions about horses when there is peace in Palestine is being investigated by police.
Cambridgeshire Constabulary confirmed on Friday it was looking into a complaint about Dr Levine’s comment that “the Jews have become the Nazis”.
Dr Levine, an expert on horses with more than 40 years of experience, had said she could not help the teenager because she came from a country whose prime minister “wanted ethnic cleansing”.
The archaeozoologist had received an email from Shachar Rabinovitch last week in which the schoolgirl asked for information about horses.
