 A gas fitting company in Leeds called for an attack on “filthy Zionists” and argued that occupied people have the right to resist “by any means necessary”, the JC can reveal.

It comes after Adam Loxley, a London plumber who refused to serve “Zionists”, was exposed by this newspaper last week, raising fears that tradesman may be discriminating against Jews.

Lindley Gas Services, which has published a series of incendiary remarks about Jews on its Facebook page, last month posted an image of a person throwing a Star of David into a bin alongside the words “keep the world clean”.

Earlier in the year, it posted a photo of the American industrialist and antisemite Henry Ford with a quote from a pamphlet published by the tycoon titled The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem.

First released in the 1920s, the text, which was later translated into German, went on to influence leading members of the Nazi party.

The quote shared by Lindley Gas Services read: “There is nothing that the International Jew fears so much as the truth, or any hint of the truth about himself or his plans.”

Earlier this month, the company posted an image of a man looking into a microscope at the Star of David with an embedded caption: “This is the worst cancer I’ve ever seen”. The person running the Lindley Gas Services account added: “Truest thing I seen [sic].”

According to a 2020 Facebook post uncovered by research group Gnasher Jew, the company is run by Nahim Majid, a gas engineer based in Leeds.

Speaking to the JC, Yorkshire Energy Specialist, which previously employed Majid, confirmed that he runs Lindley Gas Services.

Another image posted by the firm featured text stating: “Next time someone asks you, ‘does Israel have the right to defend itself?’ ask them, ‘do occupied people have the right to resist occupation?’

“The correct answer to our question is always YES and under international law, it is ‘by any means necessary’.” Lindley Gas Services has also repeatedly compared Israel to Nazi Germany.

One photo posted by the company shows a Star of David intertwined with a swastika and the words: “The irony of becoming what you once hated.”

Responding to criticism of its views, Lindley Gas Services wrote earlier this month: “For all you filthy Zionists dogs who who get upset by a flag go suck your mums you filthy animals. I hope what is happening to the Palestinians happens to you and your families.”

This week, the firm posted an image featuring text that claimed: “You can criticize any government in the world, including your own. This is called Freedom of Speech. But you can’t criticize Israeli government’s violation of human rights. This is branded as ‘Anti-Semitic’! [sic].” Lindley Gas Services was contacted for comment.
