Dr Azzam Tamimi delivers an emotive and angry speech. He denounces the 'Zionist-Americans' for being racists and terrorists, and also lashes out against Israeli 'terror' during the recent problems with Hizbullah and Lebanon. Dr Tamimi has previously said that he wouldn't mind being a suicide bomber in Israel, and that he supported the concept on Israeli soil. He blogs occasionally at Guardian's Comment is free weblog, where his articles have proved controversial.
MP George Galloway also made an angry speech and repeatedly waved his finger to the American Embassy's building, calling them 'terrorist filth', among other things. Galloway lashed out at The Sun journalists for this article in the morning's newspaper.
