London, UK (Signal High) —– A London police detective has been sacked for posting “antisemitic and grossly offensive” messages on social media platform Instagram. Detective Constable Ibrahim Khan, part of the force’s anti-hate-crime unit, was found to have posted hate images, including one of Adolph Hitler morphing into Benjamin Netanyahu, with the caption “the irony of becoming what you once hated.” This, in the wake of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack.
Khan was found guilty of gross misconduct and dismissed.
Khan also posted a photo of a 1945 era mass grave next to an alleged grave site in Gaza, titled “Gazans have none of this. It’s a concentration camp.” Khan made other remarks in his social media posts, including “Every day they invent some new bullshit lie to try gain Western sympathy,” and “fuck them.” Testimony was given that Khan circulated other offensive posts on his social media that were grossly offensive.
