'I want to cut your throat': British MP Galloway recalls being brutally beaten by pro-Israeli fanatic for standing up for Gaza

In his first TV interview after release from hospital, British MP George Galloway told RT he is surprised by the lack of condemnation from other UK politicians of the brutal attack on him. The assault by a pro-Israeli man left Galloway in much pain. Galloway, 60, was brutally beaten in Notting Hill, London last Friday allegedly for his views on the conflict in Gaza. "It's very painful to walk, to move, even to speak because I sustained a dislocated jaw, quite bad head injuries, and very badly cracked ribs," he said. He said the attack occurred during broad daylight, when he was in the street around 19:30. "Unlucky for me, there weren't many people around. Though, luckily for me as it turned out none of my small children were there to witness what happened next," he said. "I was posing for a picture with two Moroccan gentlemen who have a business in the street. And whilst I was posing for that picture, out of nowhere - dressed in an Israeli Defense Force shirt, complete with logo - came a man charging at me, cursing and swearing and shouting support for Israel and opposition to my views on Israel. Then a torrent of punches and kicks [followed] - which is admitted in court today though he has pled not guilty to the charge that it was religiously aggravated."
