Anger as an Oxford-educated Pakistani senator hatefully shares a photo of Hitler and tweets: “At least the world now knows why he did what he did #GazaGenocide” amid Israeli attacks on Hamas targets in Palestine

An Oxford-educated Pakistani senator sparked outrage today by posting a photo of Adolf Hitler with the message “At least the world knows why he did what he did” amid Israeli attacks on Hamas targets in Palestine.

But a post on Sunday morning sparked a major backlash when X deleted the statement because it “violated” the social media site’s rules.

The post included a picture of Hitler in his Nazi uniform and a message that appeared to refer to the murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust.

Dr. Khan, who represents the Pakistan Muslim League party, wrote: “At least now the world knows why he did what he did #GazaGenocide”

The post was condemned by dozens of other users, including some obvious Palestine supporters.

One user wrote: “This is bad, very bad.” Please delete immediately. “National Socialism was just as bad as Zionism, both must be clearly condemned.”

Another user with a Palestinian flag in his bio told him to “delete this.”

A third tagged social media boss Elon Musk and wrote: “Recently you said ‘Another Holocaust cannot happen’.”

“By allowing posts like this, you are irresponsibly going against your words. “Preventing another Holocaust must be your top priority, and you have the power to prevent it.”

Thousands of supporters of Pakistan’s main political-religious party gathered in the capital Islamabad today against Israel’s bombing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, chanting anti-American slogans and accusing the US of “supporting the aggressor.”

The far-right Jamaat-e-Islami party had announced a march from Islamabad’s famous Abpara crossing to the US Embassy in the high-security diplomatic enclave.

However, the authorities’ crackdown last night forced the religious party to change its program and hold the rally on a main street away from the protected area.

Police dismantled the party’s camps on Saturday evening and arrested the local leadership and dozens of supporters.

Due to the plan announced by Jammat-e-Islami and the threat of violence, the US Embassy issued an advisory to American citizens living in Islamabad and surrounding areas to “limit non-essential travel on Sunday.”

It advised U.S. citizens to avoid large public gatherings, exercise caution when unexpectedly near a large gathering or demonstration and review personal safety plans.

The Jammat-e-Islami supporters, including women and children, marched several kilometers to reach the agreed venue. They held banners and posters with slogans against Israel and the United States and supporting the Palestinians.
