Oh, Happy Day!
A
convoy led by the maverick MP George Galloway carrying supplies for Gaza has been attacked in Egypt, apparently injuring several people travelling in his party.
The convoy, carrying aid worth £1 million, was pelted with stones and vandalised with anti-Hamas slogans after it stopped overnight in El-Arish, a small town around 28 miles from the Rafah border crossing with Gaza. (Times of London)
An aide to Galloway called the attack “an absolute disgrace,” apparently not having any idea how “absolute” is defined in the English language. I’d argue with “disgrace,” too, but even if you think it’s not a good idea to throw stones at England’s looniest MP, the most sold-out to the jihadists politician in the West, it would still be easy for you to see why the attack was not absolutely disgraceful.
After all, Galloway was in Egypt and just a bit before he had said this of Egypt and its leader:
“There are many governments responsible for this great crime in Palestine, but the dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak is jointly responsible for the murder of every Palestinian who has died in these last two years.
“When he [Mubarak] was embracing Livni [the Israeli Foreign Minister] as the bombs were falling, when he locked the border at Rafah, he became an international criminal and an outlaw of the Arab world.
“So I call, in conclusion, on the great people of Egypt, on the heroic armed forces of Egypt, and the heroic army of Egypt of 1973, to rise up and sweep away this tyrant Mubarak.
“To rise up, to rise up, and to demolish the border at Rafah and let the people go free.”
That could make him just a bit unpopular in some places. Like Egypt.
And that bit about demolishing the border and letting Palestinians – Palestinians! – have free access to your country didn’t go over too well, either. For all Galloway fawns to the Arabs, he apparently hasn’t learned that Arab states are not the least bit keen on having large populations of Palestinians, with their victimhood and violence, living in their territory.
And then there was this:
THREE Islamist terror suspects who were arrested in northwest England on Friday night planned to leave the country under the cover of a humanitarian convoy to Gaza led by George Galloway, the maverick MP, senior police sources said.

Big stones, sharp stones for Mr. Galloway, then!
