SIR – I am absolutely disgusted with Bradford Council and George Galloway for their statements/actions.

The only good thing that has come out of it is the response of the Jewish community. Their refusal to react to the obvious anti-Jewish provocation speaks volumes for their calm.

This from a community which no doubt currently has friends and relations in Israel. Jews played a major part in the development of the woollen, textile and tailoring industry, not only in Bradford, but the entire West Yorkshire area, helping to build the successful economy which the area enjoyed. What did the Palestinians do for our area?

If the Council wishes to prove its impartiality, as it claims, then it should display the Israeli flag for the same length of time as it has displayed the Palestinian flag.

This will prove that the Council is indeed unbiased in this matter. I, personally, have no allegiance to either side, but just want to see fair play and not racism from our elected representatives.
