Zionism in the Age of the Dictators was mentioned in relation to a controversy in the United Kingdom when in 2016 the former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said that Hitler had supported Zionism in the 1930s. Livingstone argued that Zionism in the Age of the Dictators "confirms there was clearly an ongoing dialogue [between Zionists and Nazis] even if the Israeli government now tries to pretend that none of that all happened".[1] Following these remarks Livingstone was suspended from the Labour Party and indicated he intends to use Brenner's work when appealing his suspension.[1]
