Labour was today hit by a fresh anti-Semitism row today after it emerged one of the party's minorities officers posted images comparing Israel to the Nazis.

Dorian Bartley, an officer with Labour's Gipsy Hill branch in south London, also shared posts which accuse the Government of pedaling anti-Russian news.

And he shared a post defending the mural which sparked the recent protests against Jeremy Corbyn - contradicting the Labour leader who admitted it was.

He also shared images attacking leading Labour moderates including Yvette Cooper and Hilary Benn of coming to Theresa May's aid against Mr Corbyn.

Labour sources said Mr Bartley has been suspended from the party today.

In one Facebook message Mr Bartley shared an image of Adolf Hitler doing the Nazi salute with the words 'we are the master race' alongside an image of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

And he shared a post defending the mural which sparked the recent protests against Jeremy Corbyn - contradicting the Labour leader who admitted it was.

The image of came with the question - 'what's the difference?'.

Joseph Glasman, head of Political and Government Investigations at Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: 'Comparing Jews or Israelis to Nazis is known as 'Holocaust inversion' and it is one of the more revolting anti-Semitic phenomena to have emerged since the Holocaust.

'However, Mr Bartley seems to see no evil in it, nor indeed in the appalling mural which even Jeremy Corbyn has now said was antisemitic.

'Rather than being processed through a fair, efficient and transparent disciplinary process however, this is likely to be the last that anybody hears of the matter.

'The Labour Party will deal with this case in secret, and all that we know of that secret process comes from leaks which paint a picture of a system in which anti-Semites are routinely exonerated.

'We have no confidence that the Labour Party will deal with this matter appropriately.'

Another post Mr Bartley shared defended the mural which shows hook-nosed and bearded men playing Monopoly on the backs of the naked oppressed.

The mural sparked outrage when it emerged Mr Corbyn had defended it against a local council who painted over it because it was so offensive.

Mr Corbyn has since apologised and insisted that he did not look at the image properly before jumping to ts defence on Facebook.

Other posts Mr Bartley shared attacked Labour moderates and appeared to suggest that they have rallied to Mrs May's defence and attacked Mr Corbyn.

Another shows a smiling Putin with a glass of champagne in his hand with the caption 'well done UK citizens, your leaders have you watching anti-Russian news while they took free school meals from your poorest children.

'No doubt that will be my fault too.'

The posts surfaced just days after hundreds of people held a protest outside Labour's London headquarters to demand tougher action to root out anti-Semitism.

Maureen Lipman joined hundreds of furious protesters outside Labour HQ, saying said she could never return to the party with an 'anti-Semite at its head'.

'These are fully investigated in line with our rules and procedures and any appropriate disciplinary action is taken.'
