A humanitarian convoy led by maverick MP George Galloway carrying medical supplies for Gaza has come under attack in Egypt
The convoy, carrying aid worth £1 million, was pelted with stones and vandalised after it stopped in El-Arish, a small town around 28 miles from the Rafah border crossing with Gaza.
"It's an absolute disgrace,'' convoy organiser Yvonne Ridley told AFP. "The power was cut. Under cover of darkness members of our convoy were attacked with stones.
"Vandals also wrote dirty words and anti-Hamas slogans,'' she said. "Several people in the convoy were injured in the attack."

"George Galloway is still in negotiations," said Ms Ridley. "What we have agreed to do is to separate the medical aid from the non-medical aid. The non-medical will go into Gaza via the Egyptian Red Crescent."
The convoy is expected to continue to Gaza today.
In early February, it was alleged that three Islamist terror suspects arrested in northwest England had planned to leave the country under cover of Mr Galloway's convoy. Intelligence sources said that the men were planning a terrorist operation abroad.

My point was that “Lord Haw Haw” was executed after a legal trial (he wasn’t strung up by a lynch mob).
Dad was Scottish with tartan and clan, mom was Italian..me, I’m an unhyphenated American who knows my family tree.
I have to agree about not being able to take the man out of Scotland. I’ve traveled to both Italy and Scotland and have to admit I felt more of a pull towards Scotland and would gladly spend time there than Italy. I had more of a sense of belonging then even the most beautiful places I visited in Italy or the family members I met.
Since the global leftists promote abortion how about exercising a little 'pro-choice' sterilization on 'mother' Persia?
Give it to them anyway. Or move all the "Palis" to SA.
This is just one of the ways they get ALL of the help going to “palestine” to the terrorists
Why not just deliver it straight to hamas?
Save some stones for Code Pink...
Israel would be please if Egypt, Jordan or any of their neighbors would take over the Pallie problem and the land which goes along with it. For all the Arab braying about their sympathy with the Pallies, said sympathy is limited to writing the minimum check required to keep the problem outside their own borders.
Which is exactly why it is insane for the U.S. to import an Islamic problem that even the most Islamic countries do not want.
The Bible talks about an alliance in the last days between Egypt, Israel, and Assyria. Most present day "Assyrians" live in Iraq.
Isaiah 19:23 ¶ In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: 25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. http://scriptures.lds.org/en/isa/19/23-25#23
Israel is our closest ally. The US is the top provider of Arms and Weapons to the Egyptian govt. and Iraq of course is Democratic now. Funny how liberals don't even try to explain how the Bible gets so many prophecies correct 1000's of years before they occur.
Isaiah 19:21 And the Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lord, and perform it. 22 And the Lord shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the Lord, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 ¶ In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: 25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine binheritance.
Yes that’s all good stuff but you would be better in putting your faith in these circumstances in a Abraham tank’s and lots and lots of infantry.

Damned misleading headline!
Ah, hell. I'll just go out and buy another bottle of champagne and save IT for a special occasion.
The head, stupid, aim for the head!!
Galloway sucks, so does Egypt, so does islam.
Anti-Hamass yes. Pro-Israel, no. I lived there in Cairo for 3 years. Israel is viewed with distrust and every time something bad happens the Egyptians blame it on Israel. But the average Egyptian does not like Hamass because they are linked to Iran. Egyptians are Arabs. They do not like Persians. Grudge match going back for several millennia.
Galloway is a complete numpty, he really is.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Bastards.
Turn Gaza over to Israel. Let the Gazans tear down their buildings to build escape rafts.
