Controversial British MP George Galloway who declared city in UK ‘Israel-free zone’ taken to hospital suffering suspected broken jaw after he was assaulted in a London street; MP’s spokesman says assailant ‘shouted about the Holocaust’ before beating him.
George Galloway, a British lawmaker known for his anti-Israel positions, was taken to a hospital with a suspected broken jaw after he was assaulted in a London street.
The Respect Party MP for Bradford West sustained a suspected broken rib and bruising to his face in the attack which occurred on Friday evening as he posed for pictures with people in the Ladbroke Grove area.
A man shouted a comment about the Holocaust and attacked the MP, the 60-year-old’s spokesman said.
“George was posing for pictures with people and this guy just attacked him, leapt on him and started punching him,” said the spokesman.
“It appears to be connected with his comments about Israel because the guy was shouting about the Holocaust.”
Galloway was interviewed by police earlier this month following a speech in Leeds in which he claimed Bradford was an Israeli-free area.
Galloway was questioned voluntarily following complaints made after he urged his constituents to boycott Israeli goods, services, academics and tourists in a speech he made on August 2. His spokesman said he cooperated with police.
Galloway had described himself as being in “pretty bad shape” following the assault Friday, the spokesman said.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “Police were called at approximately 1940 hours to Golborne Road, W10, after a man was assaulted in the street.
“Officers attended. The suspect was found a short time later and stopped.
“He was arrested on suspicion of ABH (actual bodily harm) and taken to the south London police station where he remains.”

I think the 2 peas in a pod found each other.
same modus operandi, same massive egos unable to admit error, same psychobabble and obfuscation when caught being ludicrous,same smearing the messenger when unable to come up with a logical argument or evidence to support their arguments… a marriage made in heaven?

He probably keeps a hammer and set of nails in a ready kit just in case you-know-who comes back.
BTW isn’t he overdue or maybe he is a 14 year old somewhere?
Yeah and maybe Yamit also has a portrait of John Wilkes Booth in his living room.
…
I’m watching Lone Survivor on DVD. Those frogmen sure are presented impressively.
I’m inspired.
So America lost some of her best and brightest in Iran and Afghanistan and once we won those places , Obama just waltzes out of there and lets ISIS take over.?
And they are doing the same thing with Afghanistan.
You see the internet terror videos?
We can’t leave and “It’s left over there”.
“There” is “here” – the world is one place now more than ever.
Any place that is left alone the evil powers fill it – Gaza, Syria, Ukraine, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan.
The world is now a job for the Ronald Reagan Administration,not for a blind fiddle player doing a two step shuffle sideways.
@ honeybee:
If YOU chose him, then it’s not correct to call him ‘The Almighty’s’ chosen spokesman.
He can’t be both, Twinkie.
dweller Said:
No I honeybee chose him. Like my name sake I choose my second in command. For now he’ll do.
@ honeybee:
Well, of course (how could it be otherwise?):
— Yamit himself did the ‘choosing.’
dweller Said:
Yamit82 is “The Almighty’s ” chosen spokesman on the Pundit.
Tons of verbiage, but the same tired, creaky, faulty bottom line.
@ yamit82:
haShem doesn’t live in a book, shmendrick — ANY book. (He’s got too much class for that.)
But I seriously doubt that, at any rate, He takes very kindly to your imposing your agenda over Tanach.
There is simply no textual evidence of His demanding extermination or expulsion of any but a selected list of peoples at a specified period of time — not a blanket command in perpetuity against ALL non-Jews present at any time.
I repeat (since you seem to be a bissele pamelech):
The Canaanite nations were a clearly and persistently noted special case.
There were plenty of other non-Israelites in the Land, however, and there is no command ANYWHERE to exterminate or even expel them — either in the COURSE of conquering them, or even AFTER doing so.
They aren’t even mentioned in those passages commanding the destruction of specified peoples.
@ yamit82:
I read the links the first time you offered them. Lots of verbiage. No reply to my above question.
Re-read the above question, Yamit, and note, here below again, the bolded parenthetical phrase:
“[W]hy was there NEVER any attempt — of any kind or measure (even after they’d been conquered) — to exterminate OR expel the Philistines (who were far outnumbered by the Israelites)? Nor was there ever even any TALK of destroying or removing them.”
Not a word, however, about exterminating the Plishtim.
STILL not a word about exterminating (or even expelling) the Plishtim.
You find one such instance? — you show it to me; okay?
@ Max:
Not a lot, really. Forty percent of it is blockquoted material (those “shards of cut-n-paste”).
Damn-‘f-I-know.
But lemme guess anyway:
How ’bout: cause you can’t keep from NOT reading it?
Really? — fooled me.
In that case, may I suggest you repeat that mantra over & over until elusive sleep at last arrives & gives you rest.
Got one, but thanks for the advice.
@ dweller:
Oh I notice you wrote a lot of stuff.
Why would I read it? I got my common sense card which tells me to make better use of my time.
…
Get a life. Start now – you’ve probably wasted most of it.
@ Max:
At your service.
MY world in shards of cut-n-paste? — hardly.
It’s YOUR world that’s in shards of cut-n-paste. It’s YOUR remarks that I cut-n-paste, in order to respond to them.
You make it sound like a crime.
(Of course, from the perspective of the green-eyed monster, it must truly BE a crime.)
Not at all. I blow the clouds away, so the sun can do what it does without interference.
Who ever told you that you had common sense?
— What you have is common NONSENSE.
I daresay, you wouldn’t recognize common sense if it BIT you on the nose.
Well now, it wouldn’t be the first time it was tried.
But in each-&-every case, it DID turn out to be the very last time that that particular individual attempted to ‘provide’ that little service for me.
You’re welcome to join their ranks, Max, if you’re so inclined.
And DO be sure to take your shot while you’re angry. I prefer an angry ‘provider.’
— It guarantees that HE will be the one to make the mistakes.
You talk as if you assumed it was a Jewish project.
I don’t make that assumption.
And I’m not so sure that you make that assumption EITHER (notwithstanding your words).
You’re one sick puppy, Max.
