UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other cabinet ministers announced that they were “delighted” that El-Fattah had been brought to the UK and reunited with his family after 12 years in the slammer after calling for the death of Jews wherever you can find them.
Let's face it, kids like El-Fattah are impressionable by Islamic scripture and want to do the best to please their families.
Alaa Abd El-Fattah, the long-imprisoned Egyptian political activist who arrived in the United Kingdom last week, has "unequivocally" apologized for social media statements calling for the killing of Zionists and white people everywhere.
On Friday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other anti-Semitic cabinet ministers announced on social media that they were “delighted” that El-Fattah had been brought to the UK and reunited with his family after 12 years in prison. However, his previous comments - such as him considering “killing any colonialists and especially Zionists heroic” - soon circulated online.
In a public statement on Monday, El-Fattah said he was "shaken that, just as I am being reunited with my family for the first time in 12 years, several historic tweets of mine have been republished and used to question and attack my integrity and values, escalating to calls for the revocation of my citizenship."

Yeah, social media is nothing like Vegas. What goes on social media doesn't stay on social media.
He admitted that, looking at the tweets now, "the ones that were not completely twisted out of their meaning, I do understand how shocking and hurtful they are, and for that I unequivocally apologize." He now plans to keep his thoughts and beliefs to himself, and maybe tell his wife and mom.

Comments expressions of 'anger and frustrations 'El-Fattah said his previous comments were mostly expressions of a young "man's anger and frustrations in a time of regional crises (the wars in Iraq, Lebanon and Gaza), and the rise of police brutality against Egyptian youth." And those Joooze!
He claimed that while he was deeply embedded in "antagonistic online cultures" at the time, his younger self never intended to offend a wider public and was actually "engaged in the non-violent pro-democracy movement."
El-Fattah denied that any of his previous tweets included homophobia, saying that he has paid "a steep price for support for LGBTQ rights in Egypt." He even has gay friends and knows a transgender 'woman' or two.

He also rejected accusations of Holocaust denial in spite of his previous claim in spite of a tweet that. stated something along the lines of: "There was no genocide against Jews by the Nazis – after all, many Jews are left."
"I take accusations of anti-Semitism very seriously," he claimed.
Can a Jew-hater change his mind after being punished for 12 years? Maybe, but I have my doubts.
If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work and my coffee drinking habit. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you from doing me that solid. Imagine, you could be the first on your block to do that and your friends will thank you . . . for some reason.
