Galloway has long been known to be critical of Israel, and he has recently taken his views one step further, calling for a boycott of anything connected with Israel, as this video demonstrates.
I do not condone the assault on George Galloway, but it is fair to point out that he has never spoken out against acts of violence where the victims were supporters of the British National Party or the English Defence League.
It is also fair to point out that Galloway owes his current tenure in parliament to the large Muslim community in his Bradford West constituency. So far as I am aware, he has never admitted that Islam is founded upon a book which says what The Koran says.
Perhaps he would like to condemn all of the belligerent passages in The Koran. If he will not, then he should reflect that his cowardice on this issue is not entirely unconnected with the belligerent attitude of the man who attacked him.
Update: Mr Galloway has since described his attacker as a thug from an extreme right-wing group. I am not sure what his evidence is for this, other than that as a communist he possibly regards anyone who dislikes him as extreme right-wing.
He also wants police protection in future, although I wonder if he is really any more deserving of police protection than anyone else who has ever been attacked in the street. For example, I wonder if he thinks that the thousands of victims of Muslim paedophile gangs should enjoy police protection.
