Recent statements and actions by UK politicians have sparked controversy and accusations of fueling Islamophobia amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Critics argue that both Conservative and Labour Party members, including Tory Liz Truss and Suella Braverman, as well as Labour Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, have made 'hysterical statements' and spread 'lies'. This comes as politicians and media outlets are accused of demonizing protests against Israel's actions in Gaza with the 'Islamists are running the UK' narrative, portraying protesters as extremists. The Labour Party, in particular, has been criticized for its 'devious and dastardly' tactics, including a 'smoke and mirrors stratagem' that exacerbated the situation, with allegations of undermining a ceasefire vote and contributing to a wave of anti-Muslim sentiment under the guise of MP safety concerns, while admitting to 'grubby tricks'.
Labour wrecked the ceasefire vote, have completely derailed the public debate on the genocide in Gaza and unleashed a wave of anti-Muslim hate under the disingenuous guise of concern for MPs' safety. Now they're openly admitting to the grubby tricks they used last week https://t.co/fui9y4w94x
Here's the problem. Labour, and their media outriders, played a pivotal role in whipping up a moral panic about Gaza protesters - to deflect from their role in justifying Israel's murderous onslaught. And that moral panic is spurring on the current Islamophobic frenzy. https://t.co/tBr7cu539o
Wondering where this insane 'Islamists are running the UK' narrative is coming from? Politicians and media outlets are conspiring to demonise protests against Israel's slaughter of Gaza as a dangerous, hateful mob of extremists. But this is belied by the facts: there is only…
Devious and dastardly British Labour's latest smoke and mirrors stratagem. Deflect from its complicity in the Gaza genocide by happily grandstanding Tory efforts to inflame anti-Muslim sentiments and pretending to be outraged by them.
So true. Directing fear and hate towards Muslims is the go-to tool for cynical politicians. Adopted across the political spectrum now, not just far-right. Today we see it in Tory Liz Truss & Suella Braverman’s hysterical statements, & the lies of Labour Speaker Lindsay Hoyle… https://t.co/gAVwjXHIkM
