UB40 band members reported to have a history of antisemitism online

According to a report, two members of the British reggae band, UB40, have been found to have a history of antisemitism online. 

Norman Hassan, the band’s Percussionist, appears to have made numerous comparisons of Israelis to Nazis on Twitter, according to journalist David Lange.

One tweet reads: “…the world turned a blind eye in 1930 Germany with the Nazi killing the Jews ..& now the oppressed as become the oppressors. [sic]”

Another post says: “Bullying!! Just like the Nazi !! Don’t forget your history!!! [sic]” 

Another band member, Jimmy Brown, reportedly compared Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto in a comment on Facebook. 

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