Labour MP Tan Dhesi faced significant hostility while campaigning outside a mosque in Slough on Friday. Dhesi was confronted by Muslim worshippers who accused him of having 'the blood of Palestinian children' on his hands due to his abstention on a motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The incident, captured on video, shows Dhesi being forced to leave the mosque in Berkshire. This event highlights the growing tensions and backlash faced by Labour MPs in the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Tan Dhesi, who won his seat in 2010, is standing for re-election.
“Zionist devil! Get out!” Labour candidate @TanDhesi hounded from canvassing outside what I assume is a mosque in Slough. Remember, a Zionist is just somebody that believes the Jews have a right to their own home. These threats and intimidation against MPs will only grow. https://t.co/dusBcJE44x

The Labour MP for Slough, Tan Dhesi attempts to distribute leaflets outside a Mosque in Slough. Some of the local residents didn’t appreciate his efforts. Labour are scrounging around for the votes of people they described as fleas. #BoycottLabour 🥀 https://t.co/IeU28rBUQ1
Labour MP Tan Dhesi is forced to leave the mosque by Muslim worshippers after Jumuah. @TanDhesi abstained from backing a ceasefire in Gaza. A vote for Tan Dhesi is a vote for the genocide-enabling Zionist Labour Party. https://t.co/usSzxQmkCU
When Labour MP @NazShahBfd is hounded on the campaign trail. She's told "I'm going to follow you around you dirty, dirty Zionist..until you get the f**k out of this area." She deserves this foul abuse. The blame for me goes to @SadiqKhan for embolding Palestinian supporters. https://t.co/gK4cH91phV
