SIR - It was good to see the Israeli UK ambassador, Daniel Taub, visiting Bradford and thereby helping to refute the disgraceful comments made by MP George Galloway (T&A, August 19).
Reports elsewhere, but for whatever reason not in the T&A, said that among those invited to meet the ambassador was Zulfi Karim of the Bradford Council of Mosques. Apparently Mr Karim declined to meet Mr Taub because of events on Gaza.
What a shame that Mr Karim should take such an attitude. If any progress is to be made in that dreadful conflict, then dialogue has to be engaged in and encouraged.
Any such chance should be grabbed with both hands. This was a lost opportunity.
