New UK Muslim MPs with ties to Hamas and other Jihadis -already calling for BDS against Israel.

“Calls to violence,BDS, Hamas ties: New UK MPs take hardline anti-Israel stances,” by MathildaHeller, Jerusalem Post, July 7, 2024:

Several of the newMPs elected in Thursday’s UK elections have made anti-Israel comments, calledfor BDS, denied October 7, and have ties to Hamas and other terroristorganizations, various UK media reports have noted over the weekend.

Five pro-PalestinianMPs succeeded in ousting other candidates from their seats, effectivelybecoming the sixth largest party, the Telegraph said on Saturday.

The Jerusalem Postreported on election day that Shockat Adam, an optometrist by trade andindependent Muslim candidate, accepted his Leicester South seat on behalf ofthe “people of Gaza” while holding a keffiyeh.

However, an exclusivereport by Jewish News on Saturday revealed that Adam’s brother, Ismail Patel,is the founder of the hardline Islamist group Friends of Al Aqsa and haspreviously visited Hamas leaders in Gaza.

According to the MeirAmit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, Ismail Patel, like hisbrother, a British citizen of Pakistani descent, has called in the past for thedemise of the state of Israel, with comments such as, “The Zionist edifice…will soon fall. It’s a matter of time now.”

He has also expressedsupport for Hamas by stating that it was not a terrorist organization andsaluted Hamas for “standing up” to Israel.

Ismail Patel also metwith Ismail Haniyeh, according to the Center, and during the second intifada,celebrated that the “Zionist nightmare is at its end.”

Terrorist ties
His brother, the new MP of LeicesterSouth, wrote on his website that he condemns “weaponising terms likeantisemitism, a heinous prejudice in itself, to smear any objector of theactions of the Israeli military” and that he is in opposition to “Zionistorganizations.”

In Birmingham, KhalidMahmood, England’s first Muslim MP, who has held the seat since 2001, lost tothe barrister Ayoub Khan, a former Liberal Democrat councilor who left hisformer party over Gaza.

Shortly after October7, Khan posted several clips on TikTok questioning Israeli reports of Hamas’sactions, such as the beheading of babies and widespread rapes, saying he hadyet to see evidence, the Jewish Chronicle reported.

The liberal democratsinvestigated Khan, and said he agreed to receive antisemitism training, whichKhan himself denied, claiming that there “was no need.”

The situation in Blackburn was similar.Adnan Hussain, on hearing the news of his election as Member of Parliament, said,“We will raise our voice for Gaza! We will continue to fight, until death,inshallah!”…
