A gun-toting small-boat migrant who called for the death of all Jews is making money on social media after being freed from prison, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Palestinian Abu Wadee, 34, was released in December after serving nine months for illegally entering the UK on a dinghy.

But rather than deport him, the Home Office put Wadee up in a probation hostel in a Northamptonshire cul-de-sac.

Now, the MoS can reveal he is illegally earning money while he waits for a decision on his asylum application.

His original TikTok account, which attracted up to 2.5million views, was closed down after an MoS investigation exposed his extremism. Now his new account has amassed 25,000 fans.

There he recently endorsed a set of Remington hair straighteners. If anyone buys them, Wadee receives a commission, believed to be around 5 per cent of the item’s price.

Last night, a spokesman for the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: ‘This man is potentially earning a handsome income in Britain from his growing TikTok audence, risking wider radicalisation of people. Why is he still here?’

Wadee, whose real name is Mosab Abdul Karim Al-Qassas, was jailed last May after his illegal arrival in the UK on a dinghy.

He was arrested after the MoS uncovered a stream of anti-Semitic vitriol he had posted online, which included his call for ‘death to all Jews’. 

He was also pictured holding a Kalashnikov rifle and an artillery shell.

We can now reveal he has been placed at the Bridgewood probation hostel in Northampton. Most neighbours said they were unaware that Wadee lived near them. 

Some were too frightened to comment, but one resident, John Weedon, 74, said: ‘He should be in a detention centre and then deported.’

After The Mail on Sunday approached TikTok with our findings, Wadee’s account was removed.
