George Galloway talks to Brian in Hampstead about Iran, Israel & Palestine - Talksport 26/12/08

[GoldenChantarelle]

I agree with the caller on the thing about Iran, that christian apostates are hanged. This has nothing to do with the christian communities in Iran which are accepted.

This is about when a muslim converts to christianity, which is often punished with death. That's just the fact. But the thing Galloway says is also true, about christians and jews living safely and in peace in Iran. But those are christians and jews who have always lived there. Not converts or "apostates".

[Takillah]

FREE PALESTINE!

God Bless Israel and America.

The truth is that there never has existed an independent Arab state called Palestine. Palestine was a name given to the region by the Romans to insult the Jews (named after the Philistines, the enemy of the Jews). The Palestine Mandate, which existed between the two world wars (approximately), was British controlled territory. Prior to the 1st World War, it was part of the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire.

[EarnestBergholt]

Galloway must be the biggest liar on the planet.

[Soloman1001]

It doesnt Exist..I cant Prove a Negative..LOL!

Your argument is that it does exist..So you have to prove that is does exists and always has? I cant show you things that dont exist in History..You have to show that it did and does exist.

I cant prove something that doesnt exist..How can I explain it any better for you..LOL!

The PLO admitted that the Palestinian people Do not exists aswell..You do know who the PLO were right?

Pretty damning confession from them..hey?

To any Kindergarten school child they are self explanatory, do you really need me to explain again..Re-read my comment again, its all there.

..

[husseinkhan]

You said the facts remain the same ie Palestine never existed and as such there are no such people as Palestinians. Show me the facts LOL

[IranMarzban]

very interesting guy this Galloway.. he shook hands with Uday and praised Saddam, but now he praises Iran... and he is allowed in Iranian tv???by who??

[Soloman1001]

hussein

The Versaile Treaty was 1919, whether or not it had anything to do with Israel is another thing, but it was 1919..Galloway didnt say that it had nothing to do with it..did he..So why didnt he indentify that detail...Perhaps he didnt know himself.

Palestine NEVER existed as a country and there are no such people as Palestinians..Unless of course you can prove that there are..Galloway cant..so maybe you will have more success..in the meantime the FACTS remain the same.

..

[husseinkhan]

What facts would those be?

[LeCatnip]

@Soloman1001

If Palestine never existed and there were never any Palestinians then why the freeze of Richard the Lionheart in the houses of parliment? Was that all fiction?

[Tzimnewman3]

@Soloman1001 "Palestine NEVER existed as a country"

Yet for thousands of years people called that place Palestine and other visitors from other countries adopted it has its name. Clearly Palestine did exist and Galloway's example can be seen by anyone Palestine 1189,

3:40

So you want to say Palestine never existed even when its recorded as being in existence. You are no different from an holocaust denier. The facts are in your face yet you will still deny it.

[Soloman1001]

I just checked the year of the Versailles Treaty and Brian is Correct..1919 ..June 28.

Galloway is a LIAR!! and finishes on a LIE!!

What a shameless arse Galloway is..

Anyone can check the year for themselves.

..

[husseinkhan]

Check your facts. This treaty is nothing to do with Israel/Palestine.

[godsplumbline]

Galloway lies again and again.

[44MONTEREY]

During Roman times, it was called Palestine-Syria.

[ANTIDALLARD]

ZIONIST NAILED

[truefaith2]

Israel exists because Zionist movement forced it self there by means of terrorism this is a fact historians are the evidence. the British two faced the Palestinians, British promised to give the rule back to the Palestinians in 1915 who were the majority 98% but started being bum chums to Zionists radicals gods chosen people because Zionist Jewish groups used terrorism against the British so the British surrendered to the Jewish terrorists.

[Britishfever456]

Most Westerners need to listen to what George Galloway has to say.

[Percy203]

This is very important information that anyone who watches the mainstream media would remain impervious to.

[lieberat]

God Bless Galloway !

[ronnoten]

galloway doesnt avoid any point, he stopped the guy because he thought he was lying. there are christian, muslems and jews in iran, whats the problem?

[yington]

George avoided his first point.

Brian stated that Iran hang's Christians for apostacy.

What he was referring to was Muslims converting to Christianity.

However, George in his simple biased mind talked about the Christian church operating with no problem in Iran. That is not what the caller was stating.

Iran executes apostates from Islam.

Can you actually imagine if a Christian country executed converts from Christianity to Islam. The Muslim outcry would be deafening.

[justestrellasstyle]

even if that were the case, what relevance does it have? i mean true relevance, to the bigger picture. people are executed all over the world in many different countries.

also, BRIAN is a complete twat and got owned at the end of the call. that was pretty funny.

[yington]

(a) It IS the case

(b) What do you mean what revelance does it have? The subject in discussion was Iran. The caller stated about the laws of apostates, which is a serious problem in Iran, and George Galloway completely avoided the topic which shows an agenda. He would never shirk from criticising Israel's human rights abuses.

Iran executes people for changing their religion. It is a serious abuse, and when discussing Iran it should be raised.

So yes. It is relevant to the discussion.

[justestrellasstyle]

Pretty obvious he's not impartial, but then as I heard someone say during the recent BBC scandal, what's wrong with being impartial towards not being killed? Also there is always the possiblity that he simply wasn't aware of this so called fact, certainly it's not been picked up on by any anti-Iran proponents in the mainstream media.

[justestrellasstyle]

p.s. listen to this

watch?v=2HMXTH8Cbw0

:)

End of discussion.

[dorgoogli]

brian was so right. palestine was never a country. it was an area. there was no leader of palestine or goverment. and there was no borders. it was an area that included parts of egypt, jordan and labanon. in which there was groups of people who were origenally from those countries.

and there were no arab country at the time without a leadership.

[Hesam0000]

George has to deal with so many idiots everyday.

galloway speaks the truth
