A lauded Palestinian professor sparked fury by tweeting a warped joke about claims Hamas terrorists baked an Israeli baby to death in an oven.

Gaza-based professor Refaat Alareer - who was once glorified by the New York Times - responded to a paramedic's testimony that they'd found an infant who'd been cooked to death by tweeting: 'With or without baking powder?.'

He was replying to another tweet from journalist Dovid Efune which said: 'A baby was found in an oven, baked to death by Hamas terrorists, leading Israeli first responder @EliBeerUh recounted to an @RJC gathering last night.
