ISLAMABAD – Pakistani bold actress and model Veena Malik has faced severe backlash on social media for quoting German dictator Adolf Hitler in the wake of the recent Israeli attacks on Palestine.
The microblogging platform has removed the post as it violated the community rules. The deleted post sparked a huge outcry on social media as it includes a quote from German dictator Adolf Hitler. ‘I would have killed all the Jews of the world … but I kept some to show the world why I killed them’, the now-deleted post reads.
Following the controversy, a US journalist clarified that the insensitive quote attributed by a Pakistani actress appears to be made-up but is ‘nonetheless often quoted in some variation by anti-Semites to express hatred of Jews and Israel.’
