This comes after historical social media messages emerged apparently showing the campaigner calling for Zionists “including civilians” to be killed, and he hated white people.

Abdel Fattah – who it is claimed is an Islamist extremist – is said to have also labelled British people “dogs and monkeys”.

He has been accused of sharing “extremist” views on social media.

You might have thought that would ring alarm bells. Not in Britain under this feeble Labour government which instead of banning him from the UK has rolled out the red carpet. Indeed, Sir Keir’s comments essentially amount to personal endorsement.

The British-Egyptian, who said his private messages had been taken out of context, was held in jail almost continuously for 10 years for opposition to the treatment of dissidents by the Egyptian government.

A previous attempt to leave Cairo for London was blocked by the security forces.

Abdel Fattah, whose 14-year-old son lives in Brighton, rose to prominence during an uprising in 2011 that forced the former Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, to resign.

Anti-Israeli messages endorsing the killing of Zionists and police were posted in 2012.

The Jewish Leadership Council, a charity representing Jewish organisations in Britain, criticised what it described as an “effusive welcome” from the Government.

Abdel Fattah’s release in September followed a long campaign by his family.

Labour’s decision to recognise Palestine was a choice of politics over peace and has emboldened antisemites. And just look at the country now.

For more than two years mobs of keffiyeh-wearing Palestinian supporters have demonstrated in London against Israel in rallies that have coincided with an alarming spike in anti-Jewish sentiment.

The upshot has been to fuel the fires of hatred.

Thousands of Jews – a race singled out for extermination by the Nazis – found a home in Britain after the Second World War.

Now they are turning their backs on the UK because of Labour’s appeasement.

Polling shows more than half of British Jews feel they do not have a long-term future in the UK, almost half do not feel welcome here, while a clear majority have considered leaving Britain citing a surge in antisemitism since October 7 attacks of 2023 as the reason, but almost half also point to general prejudice against Jews in society and antisemitism in political parties.

In short they blame the Government, two-tier policing, and institutional cowardice, for the appeasement of extremists.

In a warning that should send a chill down the spines of us all Campaign Against Antisemitism, the volunteer-led charity dedicated to exposing and countering antisemitism through education and zero-tolerance enforcement, said: “Until politicians and police chiefs muster the fortitude to act forcefully, Britain will only slide further into the abyss that fanatics have opened up beneath us.”

Welcome to life under Labour.
