"God, make us part of the mujahideen in Palestine!"
"God, purify al-Aqsa from impure people! God, make the earth quake under their feet!"
"God, lift the curse of the Jews off the Muslims in Palestine!"
A Hamas rally in Gaza? No, a demonstration in Bradford in May. 1/5
More:
"God, support Muslim youth to protect al-Aqsa! God, support them with your soldiers! God, we ask you to make the Jews lose!"
"God, make Islam win!"
The blood chants heard across the UK in May followed. "With our soul, with our blood, we will redeem you, al-Aqsa!” 2/5
The customary annihilation call too. "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
It is no surprise to find the disgraced former Liberal Democrat MP and incorrigible racist David Ward at this hatred rally, behind a "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" banner. 3/5
These people were clearly getting into the spirit of things.
Some Zionist are lefties who want peace, oppose the settlements, and are critical of Israeli security policies and operations. Oh, never mind. Hitler!
Perhaps a Bradford MP could speak up about these ugly scenes? 4/5
Naz Shah, for example, Labour's shadow minister for "Community Cohesion"?
Oh. She spoke at the same rally.
"Don’t stop just here today. It must carry on even when this stops.” 5/5

This is the kind of scene where you will find the Islamist pressure group Mend, which Adam has worked for.
Here, its CEO urges the crowd to pray for a Palestinian “victory”, offers warm words to the ultra racist David Miller, and insists “you should be attacking Zionism”. 3/6
On 8 October, all of us could see the hideous crimes of Hamas.

“I am very happy, I am very happy!” 1/6
This man spoke for the Muslim Association of Britain, a nasty Islamist outfit that organises the hate marches.
