83,000 signatures in Britain to protect Palestinians, to be debated in Parliament Britain's ruling Conservative government is under pressure for supporting Israel on the Palestine issue. The Conservative government is gradually losing popularity in Britain due to inflation, according to various recent opinion polls. Although the Labor Party had a majority among the voters of the Muslim immigrant community, including Bangladeshis, the rest of the vote went to the Conservatives. But, the ruling Conservative government has disappointed the country's huge Muslim supporters by supporting Israel on the Palestine issue. The Muslim supporters of the Labor Party are disappointed that the opposition Labor Party has also supported Israel. However, to avoid organizational punishment for speaking out against party ideology, many of them do not speak out directly. There are 3.4 million Muslims living in Britain. In Britain, a public petition submitted to Parliament on an issue with the signatures of 100,000 people is considered for discussion in Parliament. On September 12, a British citizen named Hussain Iqbal filed a petition to withdraw Britain's support for Israel and remain neutral on the Israel-Palestine issue. More than 85,000 people have signed this report in just 4 days until writing this report at 4.30 pm London time on Monday. Petition

After the start of Israel's attack on Palestine, Britain has taken various steps to avoid hate crime across Britain. Police have been deployed for security at Jewish schools and facilities. Britain's Home Secretary Suella Braverman announced that flying the Palestinian flag in Britain is a criminal offence, but in fact, countless Palestinian flags have been seen flying in Bangladeshi and Muslim-populated areas in the last three days. The Muslim Council of Britain has called for an end to violence in and around Gaza. Targeting innocent civilians can never be excused or justified, they said in their statement, adding that Palestinians have endured decades of illegal Israeli occupation, oppression and apartheid. Now thousands of people are being killed indiscriminately. Voice for Justice UK secretary KM Abu Taher Chowdhury told this reporter on Monday (October 16) afternoon that Britain's ruling Conservative and Labor parties have lost the support of Muslims living in the country by supporting Israel.
