Could Tamimi’s plans to come to the UK be in jeapordy?[ One wonders if the UK will issue her a student visa now. ]
“The UK is completely occupied and controlled by Israel and it is supporting Israel to kill innocent people who are demonstrating for their rights,” Tamimi said.
Tamimi appears to be applying an anti-Semitic trope that Israel (or Jews) control foreign governments.
She turned further conspiratorial, saying, “The whole world is defeated, we are alone”, before declaring, “but I am pretty sure that the Palestinian people will bring back dignity to the whole world even to the UK who are supporting Israel. The UK brought Zionism to Palestine in the era of the British mandate. We will eventually end this occupation. Their power will not last forever.”
Ahed Tamimi then spoke of Israel’s actions on the Gaza border, falsely accusing Israel of wanting to “kill all Palestinians” – a blood libel.
“They (Israel) have no right to harm any Palestinian and this is another reflection to their terrorism. They want nothing but to kill all Palestinians so they can take all their land. They believe that all Palestinians should be killed, which also shows that they’re racist.”
Be warned, it is very anti-Israel and there are a lot of lies and distortions throughout the below video.

Ahed Tamimi says UK is "completely occupied and controlled by Israel" despite wanting to study here
The interviewer asked: “And is it true that you may soon be coming to Britain to study international law to make a carrier in human rights?”
Tamimi replied, “I was thinking of studying in the UK, but when I applied for the visa they asked why I was arrested. And whether I’d ever applied for other visas and whether they were refused. And they continued to delay procedures so I probably will not be able to come to the UK.”
“To be honest, the UK will refuse my visa if Israel requests them to do so. So I’ll continue studying in Palestine. ”
The interviewer the replied saying, “The Tory government, its Home Office says the decisions are independent. No possibility that you won’t be defacto banned from being educated here?”
Tamimi replied, “it is not about having hopes, but it is obvious that their decision is not independent. Otherwise, they should have accepted my visa earlier like any other visas.
