(LBC) A Jewish Conservative candidate for the general election has been abused on a visit to a mosque in Lancashire.
Rabbi Arnold Saunders, the Tory candidate for Bury South, was called a “snake” during a confrontation at the Bilal mosque in Prestwich, where he had been invited by mosque “elders.”
Mr Saunders was seen on camera being yelled at by a man for over three minutes outside the mosque, with the video posted online by the North West Friends of Israel group.
The man urged him to condemn the IDF’s actions in Gaza, but when Mr Saunders tried to respond, he shouted over him.
In the footage, the man can be heard shouting: “Don’t come to the house of Allah and try to engage with us when we know that when you’re in your own places you’re saying it is good that they kill the children.”
