The eco-nut who threw eggs at the King is using their crime as clout as they posts ‘antisemitic’ tweets about Israel on social media. 

Patrick Thelwell, 24, who uses ‘they/them’ gender-neutral pronouns, proudly calls themselves the ‘egger of monarchs’ on X, formerly Twitter – and starts their replies to other accounts by saying ‘I’m the person who egged the King’.

In posts shared on their social media, they claim the Israeli Defence Forces are unleashing a ‘second Holocaust’, says Palestinians are being forced into a ‘new concentration camp’ and calls the Gaza strip ‘the Gaza Ghetto’. 

Further messages compare the Jewish state, the UK and the US to ‘Nazi Germany’ and blast the war in Gaza as ‘the most brazen extermination campaign many of us will have ever witnessed’. In another they say Israel must be stopped ‘by any means necessary’.

Thelwell has been blasted by Jewish groups – who rage that the ‘non-entity’ activist ‘should be shunned by every decent, patriotic Briton’. 

At the same time the former politics and international relations student claims they are preaching for ‘solidarity, peace, justice and love’ across the world.

It comes a year after the former Green party candidate threw ‘at least five eggs’ and shouted abuse at King Charles – with every one of the breakfast projectiles safely missing the monarch.

A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: ‘Patrick Thelwell is something of an archetype.

‘A non-entity who has built some notoriety following a criminal act against the sovereign, and whose contempt for the UK drips from their social media account, also, surprise surprise, posts antisemitic material and despises the Jewish state. 

‘Their posts accusing Israel of committing a Holocaust are a clear breach of the International Definition of Antisemitism. 

‘This person – and the others like them who show contempt for our armed forces and national institutions while joining marches that feature no end of antisemitic rhetoric and signage – should be shunned by every decent, patriotic Briton.’

Thelwell escaped jail after they were found guilty of threatening behaviour and ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work in April this year.

Speaking to Metro, the green-fingered activist bragged that they had a ‘great time’ doing this – because they enjoy litter picking and planting trees.

The former University of York student was arrested by police in the crowd as bystanders rushed to protect the King and his wife the Queen Consort last November during a visit to York.

But now Thelwell has turned their hand to international politics as they bizarrely demands a ‘global general strike’ against Israel from their 5,000 followers.

Taking on X, they say in one post: ‘The Israeli Defence Force has moved into Gaza to unleash a Second Holocaust. 

‘The Gaza Ghetto is being liquidated. Waves of conscripts and tanks are hunting amidst the rubble and murdering every man, woman, and child who hasn’t fled South to the planned new concentration camp.’

In a second post he adds: ‘Just as Nazi Germany was dismantled and its leaders put on trial for Crimes Against Humanity; Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America must be rebuilt in the harsh glare of accountability for the centuries of barbarism that led to this moment, right now.’

And in a third they rage: ‘This is the most brazen extermination campaign many of us will have ever witnessed.’

A further posts includes advocating trying Rishi Sunak and Joe Biden in a ‘new Nuremberg’ – a reference to the trials for the Nazi German leaders. 

They say that their work is the ‘culmination of years of… academic study of International Relations and my personal experience within the Climate Justice Movement’.

Following their attack on the King, the Extinction Rebellion activist set up a fundraiser on Paypal which had raised £577. They said they expected to go to jail, adding: ‘The money will be used to pay my fine & to support me whilst in jail.’

He had previously launched a GoFundMe page last night in a bid to raise £10,000 for their ‘legal fees’ – managing to crowdsource £178 of their target before the page was taken down.

However, the judge spared him a custodial sentence and reduced their fine to just £5, with Thelwell saying they had £1,870 left over, which was donated to a charity.

Legal aid documents obtained via a Freedom of Information request further found that their legal representatives received a total of £1,012.24 of taxpayers money – £313.25 for police station advice and £698.99 for representation at Magistrates court.

After their sentencing, Thelwell announced on Twitter at around 4.20pm: ‘My crowd-funding will cover my costs, since that is what it was set up for. The rest will be donated to a local refugee charity.’

During the incident Thelwell shouted obscenities as they hurled the eggs and as police arrested them.

Prosecutor Mr Smith said they shouted ‘paedophile’, ‘King Charles is a paedophile’ and ‘friends with Jimmy Savile’.

The court found Thelwell had ‘pre-targeted the King on the day’ and ‘intended his behaviour to be threatening’.

The judge also ruled the student intended to cause King Charles and others that immediate unlawful violence would be used against him and others.

Responding to the article Thelwell said: ‘My great grandmother was a Jew who escaped the pogroms in Russia. 

‘When I was 17 I visited Auschwitz and saw with my own eyes the horrors of the Nazi extermination camps. This experience informed my lifelong commitment to ensuring that nobody ever suffers under the horrors of Fascism again.

‘I am calling on all the Citizens of Earth who believe in Solidarity, Justice, Peace, and Love to establish local People’s Assemblies; collectively organise a Global General Strike Against Genocide; and hold People’s Trials of all politicians who have refused to assert maximum pressure on Israel to implement a ceasefire. This is what I mean when I say that the Genocide must be ended by any means necessary.

‘I defer to anti-Zionist Jewish Peace activists Ellen Brotsky and Ariel Koren: “We see plainly the reality of [Israel’s] so-called defence: a terror campaign and… genocide from above. With Western support, Israel is plunging headfirst into slaughter.” 

‘The attempt to smear myself as an anti-Semite – a person of Jewish heritage – is testament to the antisemitism routinely demonstrated by Zionists who claim that criticism of Israeli Apartheid is “un-Jewish”.

‘History demands of us that we must be willing to start a Global Revolution to ensure this Genocide ends. Anything less will mean that we have all failed the people of Gaza, and failed Humanity.

‘From the River to the Sea, Free Palestine.’

They added: ‘I am proud of the direct action I took against the monarchy in Solidarity with all the victims of the Crimes Against Humanity committed by the British State. 

‘These include the historical crimes of Colonialism; present day investments in Fossil fuels that are an assault on the Earth and all it’s life; and the government’s complicity in Apartheid Israel’s ongoing Genocide of The Palestinian People. 

‘I use my platform to draw attention to these issues and to advocate for Global Revolution Against Fascism.’
