Starmer's Welcome for Activist Sparks Backlash
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
Keir Starmer welcomes home activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, but faces backlash due to El-Fattahs controversial social media posts from 2010-2011, including antisemitic remarks and calls for violence. Critics demand Starmer withdraw his praise, while Jewish groups express concern. The government condemns the posts and emphasizes El-Fattahs British citizenship, but questions remain about due diligence and vetting for hate speech.
