From the JC:

An account manager at an organisation which trains top civil servants has been suspended after a series of antisemitic remarks on social media, the JC can reveal.

Naveed Ahmed Chaudhuri, head of the training portfolio at Government Exchange, which includes Lord Cameron among its previous speakers, suggested Jews worship ‘Satan’, spread a Jewish blood libel and compared Israel to Nazi Germany in posts on X….

Government Exchange is part of a wider organisation called the International Centre for Parliamentary Studies (ICPS) and is described online as its “UK training division”.

The training body claims to be at the “centre of Whitehall”, with strong links to Parliament and Government.

Its “highly informative” and “interactive” training courses are focused on Parliament, Government and policy making, and are directed towards civil servants and ministers….

Chaudhuri was a head of department at Government Exchange since 2019, according to an online bio. He was an account manager and was responsible for recruiting clients to sign up to training.

Since being alerted to Chaudhuri’s tweets by the JC, the ICPS has suspended him with immediate effect….

In posts on X from as recent as December 2024, Chaudhuri has endorsed the belief that Jews worship Satan.

“Most Jews do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer… and we are his chosen people,” read one quote, falsely attributed to Harold Wallace Rosenthal, re-posted by Chaudhuri.

Another post re-shared by Chaudhuri depicts a Star of David with the following text overlaid: “The Star of David? Nowhere in the Bible or the Talmud is this referenced as the Star of David. However, the Bible does reference this to be the Star of Remphan belonging to Moloch (Satan).”

On October 26, 2024, Chaudhuri shared a picture of fake Talmud quotes depicting Jews as advocating for rape.

“A Jew may have sex with a child as long as the child is less than nine years old,” one fake quote reads. Another says: “A Jew may violate but not marry a non Jew girl.”

There are the by-now familiar comparisons of Israel with Nazi Germany – and, of course…

Since Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Chaudhuri has denied its scale online.

On October 8, 2023, a day after the massacre, he called the attack a “classic false flag”.

He has also erased the extent of Hamas’ attack by sharing the theory that Israel was responsible for killing its own citizens on October 7.

Did he really never share any of this with colleagues at work?

A spokesperson from Campaign Against Antisemitism told the JC: “These posts are utterly repugnant. From blood libel, to denial of the scope of Hamas' barbaric 7th October attacks in Israel, to equating the Jewish state with Nazis, Naveed Ahmed Chaudhuri's X account exhibits an impressive range of antisemitic tropes.

“It is alarming that such rhetoric appears to have gone by unnoticed by Government Exchange. Such extremist views cannot be tolerated by an organisation that provides training to our nation's civil servants."
