On May 22, 2024, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the July 4 general elections in a statement outside Downing Street. Days later, a barrage of messages and emails in English and Arabic were sent to many British Muslims urging them to vote for specific candidates. Fadi, whom I had many conversations with, never hesitated to express his devotion and admiration for the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideals. The message was crafted by a British-based pressure group called The Muslim Vote (TMV), launched in December 2023. Hence, today, British politicians must challenge TMV’s rhetoric and libel “Jews commit Genocide in Gaza.”* * *Notes
