Architect barred over Jewish ‘racism’ claims

AN AWARD-WINNING architect who claimed “European racism” was invented by Jewish people and described Judaism as a “cult” has been struck off.

Cambridge-educated Peter Kellow also called for “restraints” to be placed on Jewish people, including banning them from holding public office.

He was found guilty of misconduct and kicked out of the profession after 47 years.

The Architects Registration Board was told Mr Kellow – who had his own London practice before moving to France – made the comments in 2019.

He wrote on Facebook: “It is not far from the truth to say the Judaists were the inventors of European racism for they asserted they were racially different to the rest of us.

“Judaists have got themselves into a lot of trouble throughout history … I am not saying this was justified, but why do we see this consistent pattern?”

At the disciplinary hearing, he stood by his post and denied it was inappropriate, racist or anti-semitic.

However, the committee ruled he has “entrenched discriminatory attitudinal issues” and found him guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
