He went to far with his rant on Israel but at the same time, when Israel were using completely disproportionate attacks on Gaza and with Cameron not saying a word, I didn't see as much contempt for him then as being shown towards Galloway now, what's worse, Cameron a leader of a country turning a blind eye whilst kids are being killed on beaches and in hospitals and schools or Galloway going on a rant asking to boycott Israeli goods?

I agree with Charwell, a 32 year old beating the living daylights out of a 60 year old for having an opinion be it strong, is out of order, you'd have to be a bit of a knuckle dragger to think otherwise. Always enjoyed his radio show on talksport but don't agree with much of what he says either.

An over simplification SH re hitting him for having an opinion.
I'm not condoning the violence used against him but Galloway does spout bile at times and goes way over the top in his condemnation of anything he disagrees with which, given the amount of nutters roaming the street, isn't the cleverest thing to do.
As regards his recent attack on the Israeli's he much further than just asking his constituents to boycott Israeli goods he urged them to refuse to serve Jews or have anything to do with them.
That's the mark of a bitter and twisted man with a hatred for Israel and it's people rather than someone showing sympathy to the Palestinians.
Report Facts August 30, 2014 9:30 AM BST
Israel ' s attacks on Palestine are wrong. Sanctions against Israel are required. Galloway was right to voice his condemnation for this oppressor. If he spewed hatred towards Jews, this was wrong.
Receiving a violent attack was disproportionate. The thug needs punishing.


Jet Davison  - regretting that Galloway wasn't beaten to death, is the most moronic statement I've read on this forum.
Report Facts August 30, 2014 9:42 AM BST
As Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the Nazi genocide we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine. We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation. Genocide begins with the silence of the world.

We are alarmed by the extreme, racist dehumanization of Palestinians in Israeli society, which has reached a fever-pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide of Palestinians and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia.


Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel’s abuse of our history in these pages to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water.

We must raise our voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!



This statement by Jewish people  condemning the Attacks by Israel , hardly makes the  voice of Galloway  anti Jewish .

I'm struggling to see your logic given that Galloway asked that all Jewish visitors to Bradford be shunned and that they should refuse to serve them in shops and etc..
