George Galloway has left hospital after being treated for injuries he suffered in a street attack in west London.
"George was posing for pictures with people and this guy just attacked him, leapt on him and started punching him," the spokesman said.
"It appears to be connected with his comments about Israel because the guy was shouting about the Holocaust" ...

Vatican City, 24 October 2013 (VIS) – This morning Pope Francis received a delegation from the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, an international Jewish organisation for the defence of human rights, and praised its work in fighting “every form of racism, intolerance and anti-Semitism, preserving the memory of the Shoah and promoting mutual understanding through education and social action” …
[Pope Francis said] “I have repeated many times, in recent weeks, the Church's condemnation of any form of anti-Semitism. Today I would like to underline that the problem of intolerance must be faced in its entirety: when any minority is persecuted and marginalised on account of its religious beliefs or ethnic origin, the good of society as a whole is placed in danger, and we must all consider ourselves affected …

91yo Dutch man returns Israeli WWII medal after Gaza strike kills 6 of his relatives
RT - August 15, 2014
A 91-year-old Dutch man who was honored with Israel’s Righteous Among the Nations [i.e. 'Noahide'] medal for rescuing a Jewish boy during WWII, has returned the award, after he learnt his six relatives were killed in the Gaza strip by an Israeli missile.
The man, Henk Zanoli, sent the medal back to the place where he received it – the Israeli Embassy in The Hague, explaining in a letter attached that it wasn’t an easy decision for him.
“It is with great sorrow that I am herewith returning the medal I received as an honor and a token of appreciation from the State of Israel,” reads the letter, published by Haaretz on Friday.
Zanoli and his late mother, Johana Zanoli-Smit, were honored by the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum in 2011 for having saved a Jewish child, Elhanan Pinto, born in 1932, during the Nazi occupation of Holland.
The family hid the boy, whose parents were sent to German concentration camps, from 1943 to 1945. By doing so, the Zanoli family put themselves at serious risk, as they had already been under scrutiny from the Nazis for opposing the occupation.
“Against this background it is particularly shocking and tragic that today, four generations on, our family is faced with the murder of our kin in Gaza. Murder carried out by the State of Israel,” Zanoli wrote to Ambassador Haim Davon.
Zanoli has been related to a family living in Gaza through his great-niece, Angelique Eijpe, a Dutch diplomat who is married to economist Isma’il Ziadah, born in the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
An Israeli fighter jet reportedly bombed the Ziadah family’s home in al-Bureij on July 20, killing six family members, including a 70-year-old grandmother and a 12-year-old boy.
“The great-great grandchildren of my mother have lost their [Palestinian] grandmother, three uncles, an aunt and a cousin at the hands of the Israeli army,” Zanoli’s letter reads, according to Haaretz.
“For me to hold on to the honor granted by the State of Israel, under these circumstances, will be both an insult to the memory of my courageous mother... as well as an insult to those in my family, four generations on, who lost no less than six of their relatives in Gaza at the hands of the State of Israel.”
Zanoli also called on Tel Aviv to stop suppressing “the Palestinian people on the West Bank and in Gaza who [have lived] under Israeli occupation since 1967,” and to grant equal rights to all of those living in the state of Israel.
If that ever happens, Zanoli said, and “there would still be an interest at that time in granting an honor to my family for the actions of my mother during the Second World War, be sure to contact me or my descendants.”
The Netherlands hosted one of the biggest Gaza solidarity rallies in Europe on July 29, when 12,000 people gathered in the center of Rotterdam to protest the Israeli Defense Force’s airstrikes.

Offending and attacking its host country, plotting against activists, complaining about journalists and spewing racism on Facebook and Twitter.
You would think an embassy that has made headlines around the world for such gaffes would be an embarrassment to the country it represents.
Not so when it comes to the Israeli embassy in Dublin. It has just won an award for its online hasbara (propaganda) from the Comper Center for the Study of Antisemitism and Racism at Haifa University …
They also received recognition for “the recruitment of supporters and [Irish] citizens who are willing to identify with and protect the image of Israel.”

Israeli Deputy Ambassador calls Irish protesters an ‘ignorant, anti-Semitic mob’
ISRAEL’S DEPUTY AMBASSADOR in Ireland has launched a scathing criticism of certain Irish protesters as “ignorant [and] anti-Semitic with an intensely rooted hatred of Jews.”
Nurit Tinari-Modai was speaking recently on Israeli military radio Galei Tzahal, where she was asked to describe Irish public opinion of Israel’s actions in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Tinari-Modai responded by saying there were three groups.
The first two consisted of those who defend Israel, and the silent majority who have no opinion on the conflict.
The top diplomat, however, described the third group as anti-Israel activists who are “ignorant [and] anti-Semitic, with an intensely rooted hatred of Jews.”
Tinari-Modai accused this faction of burning Israeli flags and vandalising shops that sell Israeli goods, adding: “This is the mob standing behind the call for boycotting Israeli goods.”
