Dear Islamic terrorists, Just carry out atrocites, massacre 1200+, take hostages and butcher and rape your way through civilian towns. And worry not! Within two or three years the British government will reward you with promises of statehood - and punish those you targeted.
I have no intention of ever following a law that penalises Jews based on where they choose to live. My family lived in the UK for over 120 years and were loyal citizens. But if this government wants us to leave - we will go. I hear there are nice towns in Judea we can move to.
Everyone in the UK is a little bit less safe today. Why? Because the Labour Government is damaging diplomatic ties with one of our most important security allies. And why is it doing this? Because it wants the pro-Hamas vote. It really is that simple.
Pompous, ahistorical colonial BULLSHIT being sold to the British population. The @bbcnews history lesson of the day: “Judea and Samaria” is just “how the Israeli government refers to the West Bank.” Maybe try picking up a bible - you know-nothing anti-Jewish bastards! https://t.co/LqQaOLzYWy
Just days ago British FM @Ed_Miliband spread demonising lies about Israel after watching Gaza propaganda. Today he spread lies again while announcing a boycott of Jewish settlements. This isn't diplomacy. It is a relentless campaign of hostility against the Jewish state.
Breaking: Israel has announced it is closing the British Consulate in East Jerusalem... About time too. This is a pro-terrorist outfit that does nothing but spread lies and has been undermining Israel and any chance for peace for as long as can remember.
In 1929, Arab mobs massacred the Jews of Hebron. The surviving Jews were driven out. In 1948 the Jordanian army ethnically cleansed the Etzion bloc of all its Jews. But the Jews eventually returned to live in both. These are the Jews the British government is sanctioning.
This is a shameful day for the United Kingdom Ed Miliband is an idiot. The Labour Party is appeasing extremism - and NOTHING they are doing will help the Palestinian people at all. This is all about trying to get Hamas supporters in the UK to vote Labour at the next election.
Today's news has nothing to do with "settlements." The Labour party is about to sell out Israel in order to appease Islamists - because @uklabour MPs are scared of losing their seats to the Greens and Independents." The real headline? "Throwing the Jews under the bus."
The British are going to boycott all goods made by Jews in Judea - the historical homeland of the Jewish people. And then try to persuade you it isn't anti-Jewish, while explaining that Jews are the one people they believe should not be allowed to live there. Go figure.
In the 1930s, Britain closed the door of Mandate Palestine to Jews - appeasing Arabs as Europe’s Jews desperately sought refuge. So no surprise Britain now boycotts Israeli goods. The British government is selling out the Jews again -this time to appease the Islamist vote.
If a white activist said he hoped to wipe out Jews or black people, he’d be instantly no-platformed as a racist and neo-Nazi. Yet Mohsen Mahdawi promised that “very soon, we shall annihilate the Jews” - and American media calls him a peace activist. Make it make sense. https://t.co/0DWUrbP3wu
Just saw the lastest @Ed_Miliband video spreading lies about Israel. The @UKLabour government knows the truth but lies anyway. Why? Because it wants the Muslim vote. Our government is pandering to Islamism and antisemitism in the hope it keeps them in power.
Even after the arrest it continued. 2026: Mahdawi had left a Facebook group he created that glorified Palestinian terrorists. In 2026, he chose to rejoin it - reassociating himself with the group and becoming an administrator once again. https://t.co/EpZkhs71wL
It gets worse. December 2024 - a decade after Mahdawi moved to America. HHe posts a video in Arabic and describes “armed resistance in the West Bank or Gaza” alongside the overseas “popular resistance” that “we began and are still engaged in.” His words below ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/oML46J4yYw
Mahdawi founded and led the Columbia University protests, standing alongside those calling for an intifada. He even spoke alongside Nerdeen Kiswani at a Within Our Lifetime event. Here he speaks to the crowd directly in front of a banner declaring “BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.” https://t.co/4QteHCCRnm
Throughout this period, Mahdawi continued to praise numerous terrorists who were killed. In 2021 he honours Fadi Washaha - a terrorist with a long history of armed violence involving guns, grenades and attacks at “zero distance.” Mahdawi called him his “brother in struggle.” https://t.co/P5D0GNirMJ
The glorification of terrorists continued. In 2018, Mahdawi cursed and threatened Palestinian security forces. Their offence? Helping Israel capture a Hamas terrorist who had murdered a rabbi. Mahdawi branded them “traitors.” https://t.co/APHjWJHQQd
Mahdawi is now on U.S soil, but that does not stop him. Mahdawi explicitly praises the armed wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad - calling them lions and describing those pursuing resistance abroad as “mere dwarves.” https://t.co/tByN1Mr1Gx
There are plenty of posts from this period that glorify violence - but this footage from 2013 is still exceptional. In a TV interview, Mahdawi suggests that if Palestinians “think a little”, they will see they have “the capacity and conviction to resist, to kill and to wound.” https://t.co/7jvwd0X03l
Europeans have been telling Jews where they can and cannot live for well over 1000 years. 2026 is nothing new. As a side note: Jews were living in Judea, worshipping in Jerusalem and writing in Hebrew at a time when Britain had no cities, no country and no written language.
