6ed0ac487e4407a0778c05e3a229dc536594d3f1by JACKSON WALKER | The National DeskA Citibank office is open, Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021 in New York. Citibank has fired an employee after she posted on Instagram approving of genocidal treatment of Jews in the wake of the invasion of Israel.
Nozima Husainova was dismissed from her position at the company after watchdog group Stop Antisemitism“No wonder Hitler wanted to get rid of them all,” Husainova wrote with a smiley face emoji. Her comment was in response to a post falsely blaming Israel for a deadly hospital bombing in Gaza this week.
Stop Antisemitism described Husainova's stance as “unbridled antisemitism.” The post was seen more than 1.9 million times, with many in the comments tagging Citi to respond.“We are investigating this matter and taking appropriate disciplinary action. We strongly condemn antisemitism and other hate speech.” Citi later added “Update: We terminated the employment of the person who posted the revolting antisemitic comment on social media.
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for Citibank shared the same response the company posted on social media with The National Desk.
