George Galloway beaten in London for anti-Israel remarks
George Galloway MP was assaulted Friday in London, sustaining actual bodily harm in apparent connection with anti-Israel statements
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 30 - 08 - 2014

British Member of Parliament George Galloway was beaten up Friday by an unknown man in London, apparently for anti-Israel remarks, Palestine Today reported Saturday.
Galloway's spokesman, Ron McKay, said that the lawmaker was beaten up on Golborne Road in Notting Hill, London, while posing for photos with locals.
Galloway has been known for his pro-Palestinian stances, as well as his anti-Islamophbia positions.
McKay said Galloway suffered bruises to his face and a possible broken jaw. “Suddenly, a man leapt on him and started beating him shouting words related to the Holocaust,” McKay said.
He continued: “It appears to be connected with his comments about Israel, because the guy was shouting about the Holocaust.”
Galloway tweeted Friday warning against any attempts to attack him.
"I'm warning Alex Salmond now; I will hold him responsible for any attempt to wreck my #JustSayNaw meetings and any physical attack upon me," the tweet said.
Galloway, of the Respect Party, announced at a party meeting 2 August that “we have declared Bradford (Galloway's constituency) an Israel-free zone.”
Then, he added: “We do not want any Israeli goods, we do not want any Israeli services, we do not want any Israeli academics coming to the university or the college. We do not even want any Israeli tourists to come to Bradford, even if any of them had thought of doing so.”
Commenting on Galloway's remarks, a spokesman told British media that they were in reaction to Israel's war on Gaza. “George stands by the comments — he thinks they are quite reasonable,” McKay told the BBC.
“The reason he made them is because there is mass carnage and mass slaughter going on against the people of Gaza,” he said, adding that “direct action helped in the struggle against apartheid.”
Israel's latest assault on Gaza, which started on 8 July, killed at least 2,133 Palestinians and wounded more than 11,000, according to Palestinian health officials and the United Nations.
