Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu is looking increasingly more like a “satirical creation”, according to Toby Young.
It comes after the leftist political commentator said the Auschwitz Museum is an “embarrassment to humanity”, claiming they are “endorsing the extermination and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians”.
In a GB News debate, Toby Young clashed with social commentator Joanna Jarjue on whether the case shows the woke left to be “frothing hypocrites”.
Jarjue argued that people who are classed as woke are often just “generally trying to live better lives”.

She pinpointed those who push climate agendas, saying that branding them hypocrites for certain “slip-ups” is unfair.
Young argued “Most woke people are frothing hypocrites”, before citing the example of Dr Shola.

“It’s like her Twitter has been scripted by Andrew Doyle, designed to make the woke left look absolutely ridiculous”, he added.
“If that isn’t the case, I feel a little sorry for her. Everything she says makes the woke left look more silly.
“Taking the Auschwitz Museum on New Year’s Day and calling it an ‘embarrassment to humanity’.
“The idea that the Auschwitz Museum argued for the right of Israel to defend itself is them pushing for extermination is ridiculous.”

Jarjue said it is “right” to call out “injustice” when it is shown, adding there is “nothing hypocritical” about doing so.
She added that Dr Shola’s approach was “strong to put it lightly”, adding it may not always be the best approach.
“She unfollowed the page for a reason”, she said.
“She felt as if the page was saying things that betray the greater good about what the page is meant to be about.
“About when we think about Auschwitz and the Holocaust memorial. Yes it is something that we should never forget, but it also changed the whole trajectory of Europe.”
Dr Shola, who regularly appears on television on shows like Jeremy Vine and This Morning, claimed to have unfollowed the Auschwitz Memorial X account after it expressed its solidarity with Israel following Hamas’ attacks on October 7.
Its post read: “Our account has lost over 7,000 followers in December. We continue to ask for your engagement. You create this incredible community and help us keep the memory alive. Support @AuschwitzMuseum and amplify our voice.”
Claiming to be one of those who unfollowed, Dr Shola replied: “I unfollowed you after your disgraceful endorsement of Israel’s extermination, ethnic cleansing & genocide of Palestinians.
“The museum should be ashamed of itself,” she went on. “Never again means never again for anyone. You’re an embarrassment to humanity.
“My commitment to ending injustice will never be compromised,” she signed off followed by the hashtag: “#FreePalestineFromApartheidIsrael.”
