Alaa Abd El-Fattah

“Tweet the wrong thing in Britain and you’ll serve 13 months. Tweet the wrong thing in Egypt and we’ll bring you here, put you up, pay for your son’s special school - while you call us apes and boast of hating white people.”

“By his own public posts, Mr Abd El-Fattah has endorsed killing ‘zionists’ and urged more of it. He has also been widely reported as having called for the killing of Israelis, in terms so extreme that his nomination for a major European human rights prize was withdrawn when the post came to light. He has since sought to explain himself. That only underlines the point: this is not ancient history. It is a live controversy about incitement and hatred.”

“Mr El-Fattah is a British citizen. It has been a long-standing priority under successive governments to work for his release from detention, and to see him reunited with his family in the UK.”

“I’m delighted that Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones, who must be feeling profound relief... Alaa's case has been a top priority for my government since we came to office.”

“May I start by raising the case of Alaa Abd el-Fattah? As the Prime Minister knows and has said, he is a British citizen jailed for the crime of posting on social media and has been imprisoned in Egypt for most of the last nine years; he has been on hunger strike for the last six months. The Prime Minister just said that he raised this case with President Sisi; what progress did he make in securing Alaa's release?”

“And you talk to most of them, and they come out telling you they're the ones who's oppressed and victims. I seriously, seriously, seriously hate white people, especially those of English or Dutch or German descent.”

“I’m telling you that I hate white people.”

“Now all I can think of is joining Bin Laden and killing a few Americans.”

“I consider killing any colonialists and specially zionists heroic, we need to kill more of them.”

“police are not human...They don’t have rights, we should just kill them all.”

“Now my real criticism of these post-police murder riots is the wrong focus, go burn the City or Downing Street, or hunt police fools.”

“there was no genocide against Jews by the Nazis – after all, many Jews are left.”

“So the brilliant British dogs and monkeys really think terrorists will reveal their plans on Twitter.”

“Dear Zionists, please don’t ever talk to me, I’m a violent person who advocated the killing of all Zionists including civilians, so f--- off.”

“Unfortunately, the Iranian nuclear project isn't dedicated to the extermination of the white man; Bin Laden's odds are higher.”

“can we get back to killing zionists please? they seem to be more violent when we stick to non violence.”
