Britain’s Muslim vote is growing and those who appeal to Islamic-inclined voters will win out over the Leftists
The most sinister thing to happen in British politics in my lifetime, bar Jeremy Corbyn becoming leader of the Labour party, has been the election of councillors and MPs running on a ticket of radical pro-Palestinianism and vicious anti-Zionism.
Shockat Adam, independent MP for Leicester South, held up a keffiyeh on hearing his result. Adnan Hussain, MP for Blackburn, told a Free Palestine rally in 2014: “They let Gaza burn, they hate Gaza… Now let’s make Israel burn, let’s make Israel burn.”
Electing four MPs, the Greens did better than their wildest dreams at last year’s general election. Trashing Israel with their whole heart and soul was part of their appeal.
Fesl Reza-Khan, who signed up to the Greens because they (falsely) called Israel’s campaign a “genocide”, helped create a Muslim Greens group. “A lot of us are from ethnic minority backgrounds. What I see in Gaza, I think: ‘Hang on, that’s happened to me, that’s happened to my forefathers, that whole occupation, exploitation, colonisation’.” Right then.
