A left-wing politician in Landskrona has been urged by his party to leave his assignments after Sydsvenskan in an investigation showed that he had spread Jew-hatred and conspiracy theories and praised terrorists in a long series of posts.
Ali Hadrous, who sits on Landskrona's municipal council and is also a member of the Left Party's board in the municipality, has for example written that the USA and other countries are controlled by "the Jews" or "the Jewish-Zionist lobby" and called Israeli soldiers "Hitler's heirs".
I didn't know it was this bad. It's good that you've brought this to light, says Jesper Sahlén, chairman of the Left Party in Skåne, to Sydsvenskan.
On Friday, he was suspended from his job as a teacher with immediate effect. City director Pernilla Anderberg states that they take the revelations seriously and that the information will be investigated.
The decision applies until the investigation is complete, she says to Sydsvenskan.
The newspaper has also investigated Orwa Kadoura, vice chairman of the Left Party in Malmö, and among other things been able to show that he shared a video praising the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 and spread anti-Semitic messages.
However, he will be allowed to keep his assignments within the party. According to Jesper Sahlén, this is because he is said to have regretted what he shared and now understands that the messages were anti-Semitic.
