"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

On 8 October, all of us could see the hideous crimes of Hamas.
In Birmingham, some reacted to the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust with joy, expressed at a protest *against* Israel before it had even counted its dead.
“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.
He got an early start.
“We are gathered today in solidarity with the right to resist." "We are supporting any human being trying to resist.” 2/6
“Thanks be to God! It’s victory! We should be celebrating!”
First the hate speech, then the ludicrous denials.
The Mahmud Sabir - Al Furqan mosque in Birmingham, a registered charity, told The Telegraph a few days back that it "refutes any claim of promoting hateful messages".
The article covered a talk at the mosque by Abdullah Saif, Midlands and Wales manager for the Islamist pressure group MEND.
Is Gaza a “concentration camp”? No. It was. But now it is an “extermination camp”.
And this in a talk on the best “language” for the war. Yes, really. 2/9
Saif stands by those foul words.
Amusingly, the Mend tirade against The Telegraph calls the nutty friend of terrorists Norman Finklestein "an acknowledged world authority on Palestine".
While the ultra racist Chris Williamson is merely an "advocate of Palestinian rights". 3/9
