Europe's Self-Inflicted Hamas Problem: Mohammed Alfatih, formerly known as Mohammed Basem Naim, is the son of senior Hamas member Basem Naim, who has publicly incited against me multiple times. He has now been convicted in the UK for a knife attack on a bailiff outside his home in Birmingham. Alfatih was also a former bodyguard of slain Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. He is expected to be extradited to Germany, where authorities want him for allegedly plotting attacks on Jewish and Israeli targets in Germany and Austria ahead of the second anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack. Notably, Mohammed Basem Naim received political asylum in the United Kingdom in 2015 and later became a British citizen based on claims that Hamas members faced persecution in Egypt. Yes, you read that correctly: the alleged persecution of Hamas in Egypt was sufficient grounds to grant asylum to the son of a Hamas leader and the bodyguard of another Hamas leader. His arrest followed a visit from a bailiff investigating parking fines accumulated by Naim's wife worth thousands of pounds. According to authorities, Mohammed Alfatih responded by attacking the bailiff with a knife. Unsurprisingly, as is often the case with fraudulent Hamas asylum claimants and double agents, Mohammed Basem Naim has also been a major instigator of "pro-Palestine" protests and various extremist, anti-Western, and antisemitic activities in the United Kingdom. Europe has every right to continue down a self-destructive path that allows Hamas leaders, networks, supporters, and family members to reposition and reinvent themselves in the West. Yet the growing number of Hamas terrorists, money launderers, sympathizers, activists, and clerics exposed across Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia raises an obvious question: is there a deliberate unwillingness in parts of Europe to confront the problem? It is becoming increasingly difficult to explain why Hamas members and double agents with fraudulent asylum claims from Gaza continue to find safe haven across Europe while moderate, deradicalized, and anti-Hamas Palestinians are so often denied the same opportunity. It is time for a reckoning with the policies that have brought Hamas leaders, operatives, and narratives into the heart of European and Western societies. This has nothing to do with opposing Palestinian aspirations for freedom and prosperity. It has everything to do with tolerating the intolerable, normalizing the abhorrent, and accepting the unacceptable in the name of liberalism, tolerance, and diversity. Stop this madness. Deny Hamas safe haven and support the Palestinian dissidents whose lives have been devastated by the jihadist Islamist movement.
