Palestinian supporters were dismayed at the lack of action taken by Muslim MP's who have not had the moral and ethical decency to sign the early day motion, in which a cross party of 77 British MP's from all religious backgrounds have signed the Early Day Motion condemning the racist state of Israel. So far Muhammed Sarwar MP (Glasgow Central) has had the ethics to stand up for what is right and to become a Member of Parliament who can be relied upon to take action to help those who are facing the threat of extinction by an occupying military power.

Israel has time and time again been proved to have committed unlawful killings and probed by Amnesty International for human right abuses which are counter to the principles of a democratic state. Israel would no doubt be shunned and have had United Nation sanctions slapped onto it if it weren't for the Pro-Israeli Lobbies (Labour Friends of Israel, Conservative Friends of Israel and Lid Dem Friends of Israel, AIPAC) in the capitals of America and Britain.

The British Muslim Members of Parliament who have not signed the Early Day Motion to hold the racist state of Israel to account are: Shahid Malik, Khalid Mahmood and Sadiq Khan.

A constituent of Shahid Malik, MP for Dewsbury who helped Shahid win at the General Election was asked what he thought of his name being absent from the Early Day Motion, to which he replied "It is really sad to see Shahid Malik an MP who I helped to win the election betray the Palestinian people, if he wants to win the next election, let him know that I am more than willing to switch to the Conservative Party as I am getting really sick of the Labour Party in Dewsbury".

Another Constituent member of Khalid Mahmood MP stated said "At the General Election Khalid was playing the Muslim card to the Muslim community and expressing that he is there for the Muslims, but cannot manage to sign an EDM that favours the oppressed people of Palestine. This isn't about a Muslim MP fighting for Muslim rights but standing up for universal human rights."

The Muslim Public Affairs Committee, which is Britain's leading Muslim Civil Liberties group ask people of conscience to write into the three remaining Members of Parliament to sign the Early Day Motion.

Helping the less fortunate has been enshrined within the Muslim way of life, which is instilled at a very young age to prepare them for their roles within society which protects the oppressed and poor but it is a real shame the three British Muslim MP's have forgotten their responsibility towards their fellow human beings.

Please contact them and demand they sign it and hold them to account for this delay that shouldn't have occurred in the first place. Please be courteous and polite but firm.
