- Did you see what happened at McDonald’s? [email protected]
This is the shocking moment a pro-Palestine activist doused dozens of mice in red, green, white and black paint at a McDonald’s restaurant in Birmingham, terrifying customers.
Footage shared on social media showed a man arriving in his car at the chain’s Star City restaurant yesterday with fake license plates reading “PAIISTN” and “Free Palestine.”
The man, wearing a Palestinian flag around his head, then opens the trunk of his car and grabs the huge box of rodents before entering the fast food restaurant and throwing the mice the color of the Palestinian flag onto the ground, while two women run away in horror.
The activist can be heard repeatedly shouting “Free f***ing Palestine” as he walks back to his car, later adding “Boycott Israel” and “F*** Israel” before driving off.
At the end of the video, the activist calls for a boycott of McDonald’s, Starbucks and Disney because they allegedly support Israel.
McDonald’s confirmed that “a number of mice” were released at the restaurant, which has now been “fully disinfected” following the removal of the creatures.

At the end of the footage, there is a block of text on the screen that reads: “Targeted Boycott.” The Big Three. Start by boycotting these brands that are directly involved in supporting Israeli apartheid.”
She urged viewers to stop buying food and drinks at Starbucks and McDonald’s, boycott Disney films and cancel subscriptions to the Disney Plus streaming platform.
It is also shown that the rats were painted green, black, white and red, representing the four colors that make up the Palestinian flag.
Towards the end of the video, a recording of a phone conversation is also played in which a man brags: “All the alarms and going out; and that “the doors are closed.”
A second voice then adds: “Successful mission.”
A McDonald’s spokesperson told LBC: “We are aware of an incident at our Birmingham Star City restaurant this evening where a number of mice were released by a member of the public.”
“After the mice were removed, the restaurant was fully disinfected and our pest control partners were called in to conduct a full inspection.”
Web has contacted West Midlands Police for comment.

The shocking incident came as Suella Braverman ordered a review of terrorism and extremism laws after British police demanded clarity over language used at pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
The Home Office said on Sunday it would examine whether new offenses were needed to close the gap between tackling hate speech and terrorism, according to the Mail.
This came after Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley renewed his calls for a fresh look at the legal definition of extremism and how police should respond.
However, any changes to the law will not provide a short-term solution to the febrile atmosphere following the Hamas terrorist attack and Israel’s ongoing retaliation.
The review is expected to take months and the proposed changes to the law are unlikely to be implemented until the end of next year.
