It is still uncertain whether or not the attacker had any Israeli heritage links.
Some surprising revelations regarding the background thinking and connections of my alleged assailant in tomorrow's newspapers — George Galloway (@georgegalloway) August 30, 2014
Galloway has been vocal in expressing his support for a Palestinian state in the Gaza Israel conflict, and has often suffered criticism from pro-Israelis for his brash anti-Israel comments.
He continues to gain supporters who merit his courage for holding onto his opinions.
Speedy recovery George Galloway http://t.co/mOaUJkipzO His genius for annoying people offers huge range of motive for attack( It was Israel)
