He is an opinionated pillock, without a thought in his head other than how he will come out looking, in my humble opinion.

He has a point.

Israel is a terrorist state and has been for many years,I very much doubt many Israelis go to Bradford,though.

The global political situation changes so fast! We were always taught to analyse the middle-east within a dual regional superpower framework. But I suspect that Iran shares Israel's concerns. The area seems to be out of control.

i can understand GG taking the lazy political option, it's an opportunity to make the seat his very own for ever! But one does want to get hold of him and shout, "What? All Israelis?"
