After hearing that George Galloway had declared his intention to make Bradford an “Israel-free zone”, even that “we don’t want Israeli tourists to come to Bradford”, yesterday a group of Israeli tourists decided to do just that.

Got my Israeli flag, passport and tee shirt, Bradford here we come! Sorry George Galloway 😉 pic.twitter.com/MfVI9Libv2

Several of Shneur’s Israeli friends joined him on the trip to Yorkshire’s premier tourist destination.

Unfortunately for the Respect MP, it seems many of his constituents sided with the new arrivals.

Shneur says a “steady stream of people came over to wish us well and distance themselves from Galloway’s hate speech”.

Overall, Shneur says Bradfordians gave their Israeli visitors a “tremendous reception”, reflecting on an “amazing afternoon” of “well wishes and interesting conversations”.

Israeli tourists 1-0 George Galloway.
