Anti-Israel former U.K. lawmaker to run for London mayor

Britain’s George Galloway has announced his candidacy for mayor of London. Galloway seeks to replace Mayor Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party in 2016. Last month, Galloway blamed “racists” and “Zionists” for an election loss to Labour Member of Parliament Naseem Shah. Last year, he declared his city of Bradford as an “Israel-free zone,” in which Israeli tourists, academics, and products are not welcome. Galloway has also vigorously supported Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, saying that Israel and al-Qaeda – not Assad – are responsible for using chemical weapons on Syrian civilians.
