When the former London mayor Ken Livingstone
said in an interview that Hitler was “supporting Zionism” before he
“went mad and ended up killing six million Jews”, he was quickly
suspended from the Labour Party, which was already in the throes of a
painful row over anti-semitism. But while Livingstone’s tone-deaf
comments came at a very politically sensitive moment, the historical
error at their heart is all too familiar.
