Djamel Boumaaz described the cake as 'a gift from my SS friend.'

Sunday 28 July - An official in the French town of Montpelier celebrated his birthday with a cake decorated with a swastika, which he described as 'a gift from my SS friend.'

Djamel Boumaaz posted an image of the cake on his Facebook page, the Simon Wiesenthal Center said on Thursday.

The full text of the post celebrating his 40th birthday read: 'I spent a beautiful day with my family, music, food in the home of my SS friend, then my birthday cake arrived, a gift from my SS friend.'

The post later appeared to have been removed from Boumaaz’s Facebook page, and his Twitter account was suspended.

In 2016, Boumaaz was investigated by city prosecutors for his Twitter account, which was marked “forbidden to dogs and Jews” and featured tweets mocking and denying the Holocaust.

Author's comment: France is now more than 20 per cent Muslim. In line with Dr. Peter Hammond's scholarly article - 'What Islam Isn't' - Muslims are becoming progressively more brazen in their displays of anti-Semitism and their disregard for the secular values of the French state. The UK is headed in the same direction. Maybe Boris can fix it.
