Duke of Sussex holds “intimate conversation” with trauma expert who compared Hamas terrorists to Warsaw Ghetto fighters

The Duke of Sussex has conducted an “intimate conversation” with an inflammatory trauma expert who has previously compared Hamas terrorists to Warsaw Ghetto fighters and denied antisemitism in the Labour Party.

Yesterday, Harry held a conversation with Gabor Mate, who wrote in 2014: “The Palestinians use tunnels? So did my heroes, the poorly armed fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto.”

This was not an isolated occurrence. On a 2019 far-left podcast, for example, he spoke to his son Aaron Mate, who has also courted controversy in the past, about “the misuse of antisemitism”, defending the antisemitic former leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, saying: “You also point out just how manipulative it is to call Corbyn an antisemite…So, Corbyn goes to this rally where this Jewish person speaks, and Corbyn’s accused of being an antisemite because he’s present when a Jew criticises or points out similarities between the ghettoisation of Gaza and the ghettoisation of Jews.”

Similar views were expressed in a 2021 episode of the podcast in which Mr Mate participated, alongside his son, activist Max Blumenthal, and the controversial activist and musician Roger Waters.

According to the International Definition of Antisemitism, “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis” is an example of antisemitism.

The elder Mr Mate, a Holocaust survivor born in Budapest in the period of the deportation of Hungarian Jewry in 1944, has also spoken positively of Mr Waters.

A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “Giving such a prominent platform to someone who has compared Hamas operatives to the victims of the Holocaust and who has gone out of his way to deny antisemitism in Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party is a deeply troubling move from Harry. The Duke of Sussex should carefully consider how he uses his privileged position.”
