INTRO: Campaigners met in Cardiff on Saturday to launch their campaign to persuade Muslims and those opposed to the slaughter in Gaza not to vote for Labour and Tory politicians who have supported Israel.
The Muslim Vote campaign is calling for candidates to support policies that encompass freedom for Palestine, an end to Islamophobia and discrimination in social policies such as health and housing.
Muslim Council of Wales secretary general Abdul-Azim Ahmed said: “Anyone with a heart, Muslim or not, will have been horrified at Israel’s most recent onslaught against Gaza.
“In the next eight months, there will be a general election. The Muslim Vote is a campaign that is co-ordinating across the UK to ensure that politicians realise there is a political cost to defending the indefensible.”

Meanwhile the other attacker, wearing a purple hoodie, appears to drag the woman, who is dressed in all black, back on to the pavement by her hair as she tries to crawl into the road. He then presses her head against the side of the road before she manages to push herself up out of his grasp and start pursuing the other thug.
But as she is running, the man who had been holding her down then pushes her strongly to the floor[?]. Despite the heavy fall, the woman manages to get up before being shoved down once more by the same man. She is left lying in a car parking spot on the side of the bustling road as a motorbike and a bus pass by.
The incident took place just yards away from London Euston station, one of the busiest transport hubs in the country, and Mornington Crescent Underground station.
