(Jewish Group) CNN Drops Freelancer Adeel Raja Over Pro-Hitler, Anti-Semitic Tweets
CNN has dropped freelance contributor Adeel Raja after it was revealed that he posted a series of anti-Semitic comments on social media and praised the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler on a number of occasions.
The Islamabad-based journalist on Sunday tweeted that "the world today needs a Hitler," and quickly removed the post when it sparked backlash.
He has previously declared his support for the German national football team because of "what Hitler did with Jews."
"The only reason I am supporting Germany in the finals is - Hitler was a German and he did good with those jews!" Raja posted ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup final between Germany and Argentina.
In a separate post around that time, Raja also said: "My support for Germany is due to what Hitler did with Jews!"
