Two of those who spoke (video below at end of the page) were Labour Assembly Member Murad Qureshi, who denounced Israel saying they “pose a threat in the Middle East, not anyone else” and Green Party Assembly hopeful Natalie Bennett who, while saying that “bombing Iran is not the answer” because “the people of Iran can take on for themselves the misogynistic, homophobic, undemocratic regime.”
