Pro-Hamas activist releases box of live RATS painted in Palestinian flag colors at UK McDonald’s

October 31, 2023 | | Print Article

An Israel-hating activist terrorized diners at a UK McDonald’s when he made a pro-Hamas political statement by releasing a box of live rodents that were painted up in the colors of the Palestinian flag into the crowded restaurant.

In video footage of the shocking incident that has gone viral on social media, three containers holding the green, red, and black rodents are shown as the man who was wearing a cap in the same colors takes a box out of the trunk of a vehicle and walks past three children on his way into the Mickey D’s location at Birmingham’s Star City complex. He then emptied the squirming contents onto the floor.

The man is seen as he dumped the box, causing pandemonium and chaos among the customers inside who were calmly waiting for their meals or sitting in the dining room.

“Enjoy your rat burgers,” the video begins with the man displaying fake plates reading “PAIISTN” and “Free Palestine” as he arrives at the eatery.

The pro-terror activist can be heard as he yelled “F**k Israel,” “Free f**king Palestine,” “Boycott Israel’ and ‘F**k Israel” before getting into his car and speeding away.

Near the video’s end, a recorded phone call is heard with a man boasting “All the alarms and going off and that ‘the doors are closed'” with a second voice adding, “Successful mission.”

His protest was a part of calls to boycott the chain over its serving of free meals to members of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the video also urges the boycotts of Starbucks and Disney.

The Daily Mail reported, “McDonald’s confirmed last night that a ‘number of mice’ were released into the restaurant and it insisted the branch, now reopened, was ‘fully sanitised’ after the rodents were removed.”

Users on X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the Jew-hating activist’s actions.

An animal rights group was “deeply distraught” over the use of the rodents for such a political stunt.

“While freedom of speech is important, and while all of us are deeply distraught with what is happening in the Middle East right now – anyone who has seen any footage would be hard moved not to be heartbroken – using poor mice and rats and setting them free in a McDonald’s is not the way to make a political point,” said Faye Lewis of Viva!.

‘The fact the video shows the mice being hurled at people is animal cruelty plain and simple. If the protestor’s point is to object to suffering, then contributing towards further cruelty is poor execution,” she told the Daily Mail. “It’s hard to see the scenes unfolding in the news for anybody with empathy, but inflicting fear and confusion to these sentient and empathic mice and rats and disgustedly, throwing them at people in the process, seems like a misguided way to object to suffering.”
