Ken Livingstone has repeated for the second time this week his claims that Hitler supported Zionism.
In an interview on BBC News this morning, he claimed “dozens and dozens of books by academics” backed his view that the Nazi leader had at one time been in favour of a Jewish state.
Mr Livingstone, who was suspended by Labour in April after he said Hitler “was supporting Zionism before he went mad,” also claimed Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Final Solution, helped Jewish resistance fighters in Palestine.
He said: “Adolf Eichmann negotiated a deal with the Zionist movement to give them guns which they could use in their underground army.”
