Council workers sacked for comparing Gaza war crimes with the Holocaust

Under the headline: 'Four council staff sacked over email which compared Holocaust to Israeli occupation of Palestine' the Daily Mail reports on the sacking of four workers for Lancashire COunty Council. Quite how this can be described as 'anti-semitic' is beyond me although I think the comparison with the holocaust is erroneous as there are no extermination camps in Gaza. And this from a newspaper that once upon a time ran the headline 'Hurrah for the Blackshirts'. What a revolting newspaper it continues to be.

It appears the workers did no more than Professor William Robinson at the University of California Santa Barbara, who was the victim of a pro-Israel campaign by two students, after he circulated a similar email - it backfired when the university authority kicked out charges brought against him by two students. And Prof Robinson is Jewish - so in the eyes of the zionist and their supporters he is presumably a 'self-hater'.

Four council workers have been sacked for sending a racist email to colleagues comparing Nazi death camps to the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

It is believed those involved brought memory sticks containing the anti-Semitic material in to work to bypass the Lancashire County Council's security system.

Authority bosses deemed the 'highly inappropriate' content to be a sacking offence after a three-month investigation, which saw a total of 14 staff suspended.

Five others received formal written warnings and a further five have since returned to work.

'Inappropriate': Four staff at Lancashire County Council were sacked for sending an email comparing the Holocaust to the Israeli occupation of Palestine

The offensive email was only discovered after one of those involved was off work and a colleague accessed his computer.

Titled 'Holocaust Survivors', it contained pictures of 1930s and 1940s Germany and compared them to modern-day images of the Gaza conflict.

The introduction to the email reads: 'The grandchildren of Holocaust survivors from World War II are doing to the Palestinians exactly what was done to them by Nazi Germany.'
