The decision by London new Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan, to attend a Holocaust commemoration event as his first public engagement was met with anger by some Twitter users, who responded with virulently anti-Israel comments and even Holocaust denial, Haaretz reported Monday.
After the event, Khan tweeted, "So important to reflect, remember and educate about the 6 million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust," referring to his visit to the Holocaust memorial event, his first official mayoral act.
