The hate crimes detective compared Netanyahu to Hitler and denied the Oct. 7 massacre.
Detective Constable Ibrahim Khan of London’s Metropolitan Police has been dismissed without notice for gross misconduct after posting antisemitic content on Instagram following Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.
Khan, part of the force’s Community Safety Unit—which investigates hate crimes—shared posts between Oct. 17 and 23 likening Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler. One image depicted Netanyahu morphing into the Nazi leader with the caption: “The irony of becoming what you once hated. Well done Israel, Hitler would be proud.”
He also posted images of a Nazi mass grave alongside what was described as a Gaza burial site, along with profane and hostile remarks toward Israelis, including claims that the Oct. 7 massacre was fabricated.
