British member of parliament George Galloway has hit out at Muslim MP’s for not reflecting the feeling among Muslim communities in Britain over Israel’s military onslaught in Palestine.

Mr Galloway, who has already spoken at a number of rallies against Israeli action, also accused Parliament of not representing public opinion.
His comments came as Birmingham City Council moved to support the people of Palestine yesterday.

“Foreign Secretary David Miliband made his statement on Gaza to what ought to have been a packed chamber on Monday, but most MPs were absent,” Mr Galloway said.

“There were precious few of us to raise the voice of the Palestinians – though some of us did get to speak, none more strongly than Gerald Kaufman, MP for Gorton, who rightly declared that Omert, Livni and Barak are mass murderers.

He said he was “shocked” at the short numbers of Muslim MP’s in Parliament on Monday who “owe their seats to Muslim voters.”    »»» The Asian Today Online (U.K.)
