When he stood in Bradford he said: “Bradford should be an Israeli free zone” Very close to the bone.I think the issue with lots of people on the far left is that they feel such a deep sense of injustice around the Palestinian issue that their feelings towards Israel are so powerful that it has suspended their otherwise lack of racism in the way they think of Jewish people. They can‘t all not be antisemitic. That doesn’t stand to reason. A number of them will be.
Don’t know if Galloway is one of them, and I certainly haven’t seen any hard proof he is, and until there is I’ll stand by what I posted previously, namely we need many more MPs like this who exist wholly outside the cancerous party machines. People who can openly express their own thoughts. Mix things up. Ask those in power uncomfortable questions.
Galloway represents the views of many people in this country on this issue, which is plainly not reflected in the make up of Parliament, the constitution of which itself suppresses democracy.
A touchy subject in that city where many Jews have left due to their perception of pressure from the Muslim population. On the official level, relations between the Synagogue and the Mosque are good.
