A HAMAS-supporting extremist who arrived on a small boat was arrested by immigration cops last night. Channel migrant Abu Wadei was last week revealed as a militant who has posed with AK-47s and chanted about killing Jews. It is understood the Gaza firebrand was arrested by immigration enforcement last night and is being held in custody.
A Home Office spokesman said: "The Government is committed to ending small boat crossings which undermine our border security, and restoring order to the asylum system to ensure that the rules are respected and enforced. “The British public can be reassured that we take all steps necessary at all times to protect the nation's security, including taking action in the Border Security Bill to give the police and immigration officers stronger powers to act where anyone poses a threat.” Palestinian influencer Abu Wadei triggered a security scare after he posted video of himself flicking a V for victory sign at the front of a boat packed with migrants in orange lifejackets.
Jewish community leaders in the UK reacted with horror amid fears Wadei’s arrival could herald a flood of dangerous supporters of the bloodthirsty terror group. Wadei has posted violent imagery of himself toting assault rifles, hurling slingshots and flexing his muscles in front of burning debris in the besieged Hamas stronghold. The firebrand - whose real name is Mossab Al Qassass aged in his 20’s - has 170,000 Tiktok followers.
He also has a YouTube channel followed by 189,000 subscribers which collects money via PayPal . Most read in Politics Palestinian Wadei’s social media feeds show him at a rally declaring he is a member of a violent Hamas “tyre burning unit”. He rails against Jews in the post, adding that his “loftiest aspiration” is to “die for the sake of Allah”.
He posted an anti-Jew video on his Facebook page last September, ranting: “Allah, kill them one by one, and don’t leave a single one. “Allah, destroy them completely, disperse them completely and make the earth fall from under their feet.” The UK-based Campaign Against Anti-Semitism learned of Wadei’s arrival under UK last Thursday among 245 arrivals escorted on the south coast of England on Friday.
The group said it had carried out exacting computer “body-mapping” checks comparing images of the boat arrival plus with video and images on Wadei’s online profiles..
