Parliament should be recalled immediately to debate the Gaza crisis, George Galloway said today. The Bradford West MP has written to the Speaker of the House of Commons asking him for an urgent debate on the slaughter taking place in the most crowded place on earth.

Galloway said. “MPs cannot sit on the beaches or on our hands as hundreds of Palestinians are murdered. This is an issue in which Britain is deeply involved, as the author of the original and disastrous division of the region and a major supporter of Israel - and major weapons supplier! - since. We cannot stand by in the face of this murderous carnage. The British parliament has to discuss this now and come out with a clear and unequivocal condemnation of the slaughter of civilians, principally women and children.”


Galloway's e-mail to The Speaker:

"Mr Speaker,

I have been inundated with calls and emails from constituents asking why parliament is not sitting whilst the catastrophe in Gaza unfolds. I am therefore formally requesting that you recall parliament to debate our attitude towards the conflict and how the government should proceed in relation to it.

With my best wishes as always,

George Galloway, MP for Bradford West "

(Reuters) - Britain believes the situation in the Gaza Strip has become intolerable and could lead to an increase in anti-Semitic attacks on British Jews, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said in a newspaper interview to be published on Sunday.

Hammond told the Daily Telegraph he was receiving thousands of emails from Britons "deeply disturbed" at events in Gaza since Israel launched an offensive against Hamas and other guerrillas in response to a surge of cross-border rocket salvoes.

"The British public has a strong sense that the situation of the civilian population in Gaza is intolerable and must be addressed — and we agree with them,” Hammond said.

Perhaps we should send them text messages - and suggest they leave?

(Unlike the Palestinians - who are kept in a cage - they WILL be able to leave).

Or, perhaps, we should house them in UN-protected schools - no one could be so despicably evil as to attack UN safe havens, could they?
