  • Twat, i loved it when he made a tit of himself pretending to be a cat on BB!

  • Okay Galloway you missed a couple of things:

    1) Not a minority anymore, so you were wrong about a "majority of Canadians" (5:07)

    2) Palestine was never a country, it was a political mandate. (8:07)

    3) Canada is not a member of the UN Security Council (8:15)

    Israel tried to keep with Oslo, the PA refused to keep their side of the agreement.Canada is well loved in the world. More so now, than under the Liberals.Your values are the same as when you were 18. You've learned nothing with age.

  • A wiser and more well informed interviewer would have made this a better interview.

  • I like the irony of someone who opposed freedom by banning Gheert Wilders from England for his (absolutely non-racist) views, getting banned himself from Canada. He is so obviously a demagogue and has no problems with other demagogues Not, of course, that his views are all wrong. This interrview is packed with ironies since he lacks intellectual integrity and lives from having what he feels are the `correct´ emotions - whatever makes him feel good.

  • Palestine was a country that's a fact. Is this guy an idiot or have I missed something?

  • @spelsmak Nope, you didn't miss a thing. You should go ahead and watch:

    watch?v=I1NIuCt72bU

    and

    watch?v=fg5KjE-cQhk

    watch?v=0Vel8l5yv_w&feature=re­lated

    and for a Hitch Slapping: watch?v=-kUy4LxxuFQ

  • @spelsmak You obviously lack the ability of distinguishing fact from fiction.

  • Well, things have changed :) George is back in Canada ... YESSSSS!

  • @boogpatton haha, no doubt. Funny how they let lunatics like Ann Coulter in yet ban GG

  • We as a Human Race need people and leaders like George Galloway. How long has this world suffered the likes of Netanyahu, Bush, Blair and Hitler?

  • I'm pro-Israel but I think the Harper government made a huge blunder by banning Galloway from Canada. Let the Canadian people hear what Galloway has to say and let them make up their own minds. I'm not alone here, because many pro-Israel folks like Alan Dershowitz believe in free speech for hate-mongers. Let Galloway speak and hang himself with his own words.

  • Thats the most chilled out i have seen him. FTW.

  • @Soloman1001 you might want to research the name Kaganovich and find out that someone of Jewish heritage planned and initiated one of the biggest genocides in the 20th century

  • No offence intended here, but your assumption of the Quaran being perfect is mistaken. It's all to do with how you have been taught or have interpreted it yourself. So thats rather pretentious of you to state that its perfect, however as to the other guys comment of what motivated the 9/11 bombings, its because the USA are trying to be the world police and all there double standards.

  • What motivated the 9/11 hijackers to attack the US?

    US foreign policy bias for Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

    and US government support for the other oppressive regimes in the Middle East.

    ..Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the man who conceived and directed the Sept.11 terrorist attacks, was motivated by his strong disagreement with U.S. Foreign Policy favoring Israel... 9/11 Commission Report, p147

  • george talking to george

  • my Canada died the day that the CONservative gov't of Canada denied Gallaway's entry in to Canada - seems McCarthyism is a live and well in Canada - Harper will be remembered as a weak willed, small minded leader that pushed Canada down the road towards fascism - I didn't think I would ever live to see the day that the CONservatives would ban a duly elected parliamentarian of one our allies - so very, very sad

  • @macspectrum

    Errr then you're a Nazi then because Galloway is a Nazi. No longer an MP thank god he was kicked out for being a scumbad demogogue.

  • @Soloman1001 nazis banned free speech as did harpo and his band of goose stepping followers, so that makes you a nazi, since you believe banning free speech is not only ok, but to support free speech makes one a Nazi - go back to your AIPAC overlords and get some new talking points

  • gohome

    Thats is probably because the Talmud is a Religion, like Christianity, where as the Quran is an Political Ideology, practised by the Rep. of Iran.

  • ..Saudi Arabia, The Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, Sudanese Government.

  • Quran is the word of God. Islam is a way of life not merely a political ideology. These countries that you called Islamic countries r just countries with muslims in them. The Talmud not a religion it is a religious book, that r considered the oral saying of jews that was put in a book including commentary from rabis. All of these countries are not following islam properly(proper sharia)rather they r following what benefits their power.

  • Saying the Quran is the word of god doesn't make it so.

  • Just because I said it is, does not make it the word of God. Rather what the Quran says makes it the word of God. Now when one reads it with an open mind and an open heart it is obvious that it is th word of God, but don't take my word for it read for yourself!

  • The quran is obviously the work of men. It saying it is the word of God doesn't make it so.

  • Where is your proof? The Quran has no mistakes, it is perfect. The reason I know is because i read it. Have you read the Quran?

  • It has no mistakes? How about the "do not suffer an infidel to live" ? Beating wives and slave girls? look up christopher hitchens on youtube sometime

  • Well in the Quran it there is a verse that goes like "kill the infidels". That alone will deter many people, but the context of that verse is that when it was revealed to the prophet they were in a state of war. Now rather then God sayin sit back do nothing and be killed instead God tells us that we can defend ourselves in times of war. Another thing it also mentions that those who do not wish fight you you arn't allowed to kill them. Why? Because it's murder!

  • Concerning war, God says he hates it. Now the beating wives issue, the arabic used has 2 meanings here concerning what one should do if you n your spouse are not listening to each other. You should beat them or divorce them. Now which one should be used? Well if something is misunderstood you look at the prophets sayings, teachings and actions/traditions. Why should we look at his life because he and all the other prophets are the best examples to us. So, He Never Beat his Wives or Children!

  • Now concerning slave girls...sorry I don't understand, please ellaborate

  • @guleid1987 quran is not the word of god, its a book written by a pedophile! stop defending something thats defenceless.

  • So do not generalize instead pick up a Quran and read for yourself the rest is up to God...

  • The Talmud is a religion?

  • What are you on about? The Qur'an is not a political ideology? Have you ever READ the Qur'an?

    The Qur'an clearly states in it's first chapter its own purpose: It is a book which guides "to the path of those upon God has bestowed his blessings". (chapter 1).

    The amount of space the Qur'an affords to setting out political and economic principles pales in comparison to its teachings regarding moral and spiritual reformation.

    try READING it.

  • Here are some facts:

    King Hussein decided it was time to act. Throughout September the Jordanian military launched attacks to push the PLO out of Jordan, attacks now called "Black September" by the PLO. Casualty reports are uncertain, but hundreds or perhaps thousands of PLO fadayeen were killed in the fighting and large numbers of Palestinian Arab civilians died as well. Arafat retreated to northern Jordan, close to his Syrian sponsors.

    Cont..

  • Cont..

    Within 10 months the PLO were driven out of Jordan completely, and re-established themselves in Lebanon, a choice that led to eventual disaster for Lebanon.

    End.

  • the last quote i gave you was by Yehoshafat Harkabi. look it up. these are the policies of the zionist. it trumps all arguments because it shows that all zionist arguments are false. and it is from one of the most reliable sources you could have, a chief of israeli military intelligence.

  • reply to your most recent comment: there are hundreds of millions of muslims that practice islam, and are not terrorists. it is not about the koran. i could say the same thing about the talmud. it is all about the interpretation. there are much more horrible things in the talmud, than in the koran, but i would say most jews don't practice them.

  • The Christians and Jews have been persecuted by the Arab Muslims for thousands of years, as its said to do so in the Quran.

    Why do you support this if you are a Christian, I dont understand this?

  • It is true that not all Muslims are Terrorists,

    but most Terrorists are Muslim.

    Galloway is a Muslim.

  • ifits

    Well just to help you out with your thoughts. A PLO Leader (Palestinian Liberation Organisation) once said the Palestinian People do not exist, it is for tactical reasons that we talk of the Palestinians, they are regional arabs just like Syrians, Jordanians, Egyptians.

    Does this help you. An their religion states that the Jews are of Apes and Pigs and to kill all non believers whereever you find them. Get it?

  • ....Continued....

    I just wanna know why Palestine isnt on a map anymore... its been a country for a long long time and alot of historical events have happened there....

    Can someone help me with this confusion Im having?

    I just dont think too many people have noticed that a country thats existed for over a thousand years IS GONE.

    ....but they notice and respect a country thats been there 4 less then 1 hundred...

  • it is the pure ignorance of most poeple in the west. if you ask most people where the west bank, gaza, or even palestine is, they would have no idea. it is because of these peoples ignorance and the large influence the jewish lobby has, that fascists can carry out their policies.

  • gohomenman

    Get your dictionary out and look up the word FASCISM, once you have done come back because you speak of ignorance but you are ignorant aswell.

  • Fascism comprises a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology and a corporatist economic ideology. Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state. Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in combat against the weak. Fascist governments forbid and suppress criticism and opposition to the government and the fascist movement.

    sounds almost like israel.

  • gohome

    Hahaha!! It sounds almost like Israel.. but it is IRAN! it is ISLAM!!

  • it is islamism, as well as zionism, as well as judeo-fundamentalism.

  • gohhome

    Who started the War in 1948?

    Look it up and come back to me.

    The very same people who have been attacking Israel for 60 years also attacked Jordan and lost alot more of their people, you do understand this, dont you? they then proceeded with Terrorist activities like hijacking planes etc. you do know this dont you?

    They have a history of terrorism, you do understand this dont you?

  • Comment removed

  • soloman. who has the zionist ideology?? the aim of zionism is to create a jewish state in palestine. no sane person would give up half of their country, their homes, and their lives to allow this. terrorism is an irrational response to zionist cruelty. no-one responds rationally when people try to kill you and occupy their land. the zionist ideology started with terrorism. don't you remember irgun?!?!

  • gohome

    Read the true history.

    IF Israel was Fascist then why do over 1 million Muslim Arabs still live there happily?

    I thought I already explaine to you what a PLO leader once said about Palestinians, they dont exist and the Arabs were encouraged to leave by other Arabs, some fled in fear of retribution as it was the Arabs who attacked Israel in the first place.

  • do you think they live there happily. they get beaten by police and general israelis constantly. they are about to lose their political representation. they are about to have the nakba banned, they are about to have to sign loyalty papers (a nazi method). arab israelis live in israeli slums/ghettos and get the worst jobs. that is not living happily, that is oppression.

    what you said did happen. but the overwhelming majority were tricked into leaving by israelis, or forced out, or killed.

  • gohome

    It cant be all one sided, Israel is under attack it has been for 60 years. Should they just wait for another suicide bomber. They have extreme security concerns as this is an unconventional war against them by the Islamic Fundamentalists.

  • i never said it was one-sided. i am probably the only person you will meet who criticises both islamic extremists, and zionists. because both are horrible fascist entities.

    but here is why i believe that zionism is to blame for the continuation of war for 60 years:

    "We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population." Israel Koenig, The Koenig Memorandum, 1976.

  • gohome

    Have you read the PLO Covenant of 1964 Article 20: "Claims of a historical or religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incompatible with the facts of history..."

    this was way before 1976.

    The Jews and the Christians have been persecuted by Arabs Muslims for thousands of years, you should be ashamed alas I feel you are brainwashed instead.

  • "[The Palestinians] are beasts walking on two legs." Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, speech to the Knesset quoted in New Statesman, June 25,1982 .

    "We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves." Chairman Heilbrun of the Committee for the Re�election of General Shlomo Lahat as mayor of Tel Aviv, 1983.

    Ehud Barak, on Israeli TV:

    "If I were a Palestinian, I would be a terrorist."

    AND MANY MANY MORE

  • gohome

    This is a Holy War against the Jews, you as a Christian should feel very ashamed and the Syrians are Arabs aswell, you I dont know.

    The Quran is the Holy book moving these Muslim Fundamentalist forward Hamas are killing and persecuting Christians and Muslims alike and using the Children as Human shields for Offensive and Defensive Purposed alike? Want Proof?

    The Quran teaches hatred towards the non believersnon believers, this is the problem, you should feel very ashamed.

  • avigdor libermann would love to see arab israeli parties banished from the knesset. with no more dissenting voices about israeli policy to the palestinians, that sounds virtually like a 1 party system. doesnt your government believe that jews are in eternal conflict with others, especially arabs. you assert yourself against the weak in west bank in gaza, by taking their land, building homes in their land, and bombing their children. i see the active suppression of criticism of israeli policy.

  • gohome

    Are you a Muslim?

  • no, i am a christian.

  • gohome

    You look Arabic, are you telling the truth because IF you are an Arab Christian then you have alot to learn. Tell the truth, it doesnt hurt.

  • i am an assyrian christian. i hope you remember us in jewish history. don't think i am lying, i am telling the truth.

  • gohome

    Have you heard of Brigitte Gabriel?

  • yes i have. lebanese christians are different to most other arab christian, insofar that she hates muslims, because their influence has increased greatly in lebanon. but you have to ask the question 'why is this so'?. you can see a correlation of increases in christian and islamic extremism in lebanon with israeli invasions, bombardments, and raids.

    i support hizbolla much more than lebanese christian fundamentalism, the same way i supported the russian communists when they overthrew the nazis

  • gohome

    IF you are a Christian Arab then you should be ashamed of what you just wrote. The PLO tried to takeover Jordan and failed, the Christian Arabs in Lebanon offered them refuge in return they became the victims and were ethnically cleansed in Lebabnon. More Palestinians died attacking Jordan than have been killed in the entire history of Israel. Why do the Palestinians hold NO hatred towards Jordan?

    You do understand that the Arabs Muslims sided with Hitler and the Nazis during WW2.

  • gohome

    How can you like Fascism on one side and hate it by applying it falsly on another.

    Then again Hate Nazis on one side and again support them with the Muslim cause of Exterminating the Jews on the other.

    You are starting to Contradict yourself and appear Hatefully Deluded.

  • i am not a christian arab, i am a christian assyrian. don't tell me what i should be ashamed of.

    i wonder why the PLO sought refuge in other countries?? maybe because they were ethnically cleansed from their homes. the PLO did not try to TAKE OVER jordan or lebanon, they merely sought for at least some influence, as hundreds and thousands of palestinians were living as refugees there, without any aid, welfare, or citizenship. the israelis knew this and funded friction between them.

  • gohome

    Well as a Christian, you should be ashamed of yourself. The Christians were persecuted aswell as the Jews, you know this yes?

    Read the history, the PLO after they attacked Israel again tried to take over Jordan, that failed aswell. The Jordanians of whom the Palestinians really are but not in Fundamentalist Mentality were left out in the cold, their own fault. Lebanon offered them help, the ythen destroyed Lebanon. You should be ashamed as a Christian, regardless of Arab, Syrian, Irish.

  • i know that christians were persecuted by muslims and ill say it again, i hate both zionists and islamic fundamentalists!! these quotes i have shown you show that zionists want this to happen.

    "The thesis that the danger of genocide was hanging over us in June 1967 and that Israel was fighting for its physical existence is only bluff, which was born and developed after the war." Israeli General Matityahu Peled, Ha'aretz, 19 March 1972.

  • gohome

    And yet Syria supports Islamic Fundamentalism.

  • gohome

    It supported the PLO.

    A PLO leader admitted that the Palestinian people do not exist.

  • you are a liar

  • And yet the Jews at the time of Jesus decided to persecute and crucify a man who simply preached "turn the other cheek" instead of choosing to crucify Barrabus, the thief, and for 3 centuries after him, persecuted his followers until his followers gained ascendancy through the conversion of the Roman emperor.

    If people followed Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism etc as the founders of those religions practised it, there would be peace. Do not ascribe the evil of men to religion

  • HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT QUOTE:

    " We must define our position and lay down basic principles for a settlement. Our demands should be moderate and balanced, and appear to be reasonable. But in fact they must involve such conditions as to ensure that the enemy rejects them. Then we should manoeuvre and allow him to define his own position, and reject a settlement on the basis of a compromise position. We should then publish his demands as embodying unreasonable extremism."

  • the grand mufti sided with the nazis, not the arab people. some were enticed towards this view because of the increasing violence if zionist terrorist groups such as irgun.

  • the facts that i stated correlate to the definition of fascism. you are the worst type of ignorance because instead of believing in what you say, you see your wrongs, then you choose to ignore them.

  • WRONG!! Go home

    You are because nothing correlates in your comments.

    ISLAM IS FASCIST

    IRAN IS A FASCISM BASED POLITICAL COUNTRY

    These are the people at War with the Jews and the West. These are the new NAZIS. Prove me wrong.

  • i will prove you wrong. islamism is like fascism, but so is zionism and judeo-fundamentalism!!! i know that iran has fascist traits to it, but israel has too!!! you are as bad as the people you hate!!!!!

    there was a gazan doctor who worked in an israeli hospital all his life. he was loved by israelis for this. his 3 daughters were when the israelis bombed gaza. when he was interviewed in israel, he was interrupted by 2 women screaming at him because he was a palestinian.

    that is fascism.

  • gohome

    Your point is isolated and frail, so what, there is good and bad everywhere. But it doesnt make a Fascist Ideology a good thing. You dont really understand that much of the Palestinian plight do you?

    You do know that a PLO leader once said that the Palestinian people do not exist, we use this term for Tactical Reasons to fight Zionism. You do know this dont you?

    And for you to say that the Iranian Regime has fascist traits is laughable, it is Fascist, plain and simple.

  • i know that fascism is not a good thing. thats why oppose the zionist government AND islamic fundamentalism!!! you cant ignore one sides atrocities and complain about the others!!! if you think the iranian government is completely fascist, so is the israeli government!! they both have the same traits!!!

    it does not matter what you call the people you oppress. they are still people. just because the country of palestine didn't exist and the region did, it doesn't give you a right to oppress them

  • I just wanna bring something to peoples attention...

    Im not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to this stuff but there 1 thing that stands out that doesnt make sense.

    If Israel was made for jews to live because of holy traditions... and the Christians of the world believe the bible is accurate... and Jesus was born in bethleham... wouldn't that mean that the Christian are fighting 4 the wrong cause?!

    Keeping Holy Land Holy... Isn't Palestine holy?! Isn't that where Jesus was born?!

  • what will happen is Israel will continue to bulldoze Palestinian communities to build Jewish settlements, while building Apartheid walls surounding the Palestinians. eventually a two state solution will be impossible leading to a one state solution. Israel will be forced to tear down the Apartheid walls and allow Palestinians to vote, by then Palestinians will be the Majority, they will vote Hamas in power, make arabic the official language rename the country Palestine, problem solved.

  • sorry but it will not be that easy my friend, with the power and influence of israel and the power they hold in america (zionists in high places). there will be no passive solution, they will keep going and going and abusing the palestinians with their huge power until some nations stand up militarily to protect them.

  • It may not be easy, but throughout history empires didn't last, remember the Roman empire?, French empire?,British empire, German empire, and now US/Israel empire no matter how strong an empire is eventually it will collapse. I don't think the current empire is any different.

  • only, that will create another state just as intolerant, crazy and based on a equally insane relegion as israel. so i wudnt call it a solution. secularism is the way to go.

  • 5 minutes in: an unfortunate ending to a badly formulated question "...if that makes sense" - no my friend, it made no sense!

  • Geert Wilders might be PM in a few years.

  • shame on Canada and the stinkin JDL. It's a shame that people support killings of babies. I wish there were people like George in Canadian parliament.

  • george galloway is a true brave politician who is working for a cause and i support him

  • no joke paste this comment to 3 more pictures and press Alt. Princess

    josephina will go on screen and undress

  • "no joke paste this comment to 3 more pictures and press Alt. Princess

    josephina will go on screen and undress "

    Did you actually go around pasting this, thinking it would happen?

    You thick twat.

  • George Galloway is a disgrace. Well done Canada.

  • he's extremely well-spoken and no wonder the govt wants him banned - he calls 'em like he sees 'em and they cant stand that, can they, bunch of mealy-mouthed double-speakers that they are.

    Good on you, both Georges!

  • good vid....Galloway is a demagogue...

    Peace

  • i dont agree with everything george says but i salute him for standing up against the unjust wars in iraq and afganistan. we would do better in uk with him as PM

  • (this character limit is annoying)

    The main point here being that realistically, I think that fighting for peace will mean looking for actual solutions that would both maximize the Palestinian Gain while minimizing the Israeli loss... both sides seem to refuse to hold both things into account and i have no clue what mix of positive and negative would manage to keep both sides peacefull...

  • Senyah5

    What i have been arguing with you about is that by using words like racism you are hurting the Palestinian cause. You consistently use words meant to alarm people but not using the words correctly which mean people cannot take your cause seriously. For example, under your definition of ethnic cleansing the continued existence of the Native reserves in Canada and the US would be ethnic cleansing... even though now natives would not want those areas re-integrated with the main countries.

  • platonicmojo

    it's obvious your knowledge of the region is pretty shallow, so you think Zionism and ethnically cleansing people from their homes to refugee camps in order to make room for Jews is not Racism! And if you can't vote in Japan, and Canada and the US have Indian reservations, Palestinians should stay in refugee camps and you want to "Explore the give Palestinian rights Idea" do you realize how silly you sound. Palestinians have been in refugee camps for 61 years.Stop Exploring ,ACT!

  • im not sure how using using the correct definitions of words makes me ignorant....

  • Actuallly no i dont. I think Zionists FORCIBLY REMOVING people from their homes to refugee prison camps in order to make room for Isrealis is nationalism and oppression.

    If you used words correctly people could take you more seriously. If you had said the above then i might have agreed with you.

  • you REALLY like taking things about of context. I never said that Palestinians should stay in refugee camps. I said that putting them there is part of the evils of occupation.. not racism.

  • Once again:

    -Not all Isrealis are Jews (read their census)

    - Racism requires descrimination based on race.. not nationality. Arab Isrealies are not being forced out)

  • senyah5

    Also, why is me trying to talk to you about YOUR idea about the Israelis having to give Palestinians rights silly?

    Of course, I think they should have rights.. but rights exist WITHIN states. A non-citizen will naturally have less rights then a citizen. (every country has this) Palestinians deserve rights.. so the question is how to practically give it to them. So either Palestine becomes its own state or they join Israel. If you can think up another possibility they say it..

  • If you kill one person it's murder, if you kill 100,000 people it's foreign policy.

  • acts of the state against other states has always been the case.

    hehe you finally said somthing i can agree with. hehe.

    Exc

  • platonicmojo

    This dialog is not going anywhere,If anyone can make heads or tails about what platonicmojo is saying please chime in. There are between 4 - 5 million Palestinian living in refugee camps. They are there because of the Zonists ethnically cleansed them, Galloway believes this is wrong and something should be done about it, I'm sorry you don't see it that way, maybe if you visited these refugee camps like I & Galloway did you would see the horrible conditions they live under.

  • you dont understand me because you keep assuming that im against what Galloway. I keep repeating myself (proving your only getting what your want out of what i write) that the occupation is BAD and that the concequences of it are BAD.

  • dont know much about galloway but he comes accross a funny, intelligent, brave, and loving man with a big heart. Ill never forget the time he "roasted" sky news. Absolutely priceless. I dont wanna know if theres some proper bad side to him cause everytime I see him its a good experience and an inspirational one too. As I said, I DONT know a lot about him but I do know he is the sort of person who would attract a lot of haters aswell cause theyd be jealous, as would a lot of other politicians

  • Galloway is liar. A persistent liar. And an insidious brute who is responsible for calling the destruction of Canadian and British troops. He is an insult to progress, he is an insult to democracy and an insult to all honest socialists.

  • Instead of making accusations without substance, tell us when did he lie, when did he call for the destruction of canadian and British troops and when did he insult democracy. I must have missed them all.

  • you must have!! there are literaly dozens of clips showing Galloways true colours. If you still don't find them, let me know - I'll provide here the links ;)

  • Where are the links? I don't see any. just send me a link showung Galloway calling for the destruction of Canadian and British troops. Your accusations are worthless if you can't prove them.

  • /watch?v=mfo49vv21qo&feature=r­elated

    try 3:10 and on, to see George calls for "resistance" (read : armed struggle ) against American and brittish troops.

    5:40 George praises the great democrat Assad

    9:00 George cheers on his jihad

    here you can watch him lie a little:

  • sussansontag,

    Is this the best you can do, to take a video of bits and pieces taken out of context not showing the whole interview to try and attack Galloways character instead of talking about the issue, because you know if you talk about the issues, the invasion, occupation and slaughter of millions cannot be justified ethically, moraly or politically. "The greatest purvayer of violence around the world is my own government, and I can no longer stay silent" (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)

  • Senyah5,

    it's you who are being out of context! i won't mind debating the Israeli-arab conflict with you any time, or Hamas, Hizbullah and al-Qaeda for that matter, however, my original post and the subject of your video IS Galloway and his character. You'll find it difficult to find those (other than the man himself) who would vouch for his character. Not even among the participants of "celebrity big brother"

  • sussansontag

    George Galloway is standing up against the brutal Occupation of Palestine, the Occupation of Sheba Farms in Lebanon, the Occupation of Golan Heights, the Occupation of Iraq, the Occupation of Afghanistan and future Occupation of Iran, Korea, Venezuela is there no end to this madness. Your trying to find silly excuses of lies to attack a man's character who is stands for freedom, justice and liberty for all.

  • Galloway took blankets, medicine wheel chairs, ambulances to help those who survived the genocide in the concentration camp of Gaza. What's his character flaw that he cares about humanity? that he believes brown people deserve to live?

  • sussansontag

    I almost forgot, on the Israeli-Arab conflict as you put it, Do you support the ZIONIST movement in ethnically cleansing Palestinians from their homes, wiping their country (Palestine) off the map to make room for Gods Chosen people the Jews? and do you think the US Tax Payers should continue to finance this ongoing confiscation of land and property?

  • Country?? what country?? what is this counties currency? when was it decreed? who was its foreign minister? where is its court house? anything that's characteristic of a STATE in one called "PALESTINE" would be welcomed...

    Can you perhaps tell us a little of the history of the state named "Palestine"?

  • Let me help you...

    There is none, and there never was!

    There will be one day maybe, but only after the stupid leaders of the Palestinian people would abolish the idea of the annihilation of Israel. Egypt, Jordan and the gulf states have realized that, Iran and its proxies Syria, Hamas and Hizbullah probably want to bring some more destruction on their people until they do.

  • Oh! This is truly comical, hang on I have to catch my breath, OK lets see here so there was no Palestine, Ok lets go along with your thinking here, I guess all the world maps were wrong Ok Now. If you believe Palestine never existed then there are no Palestinians because how could there be any Palestinians if Palestine was never there, and the Palestinian homes the Zionst live in just happened to be there empty waiting for the Zionist to move in. So the Zionst didn't steal the homes after all.

  • and if palestine was never there then there is no occupation of Palestine and all the UN resolutions calling for Israels immediate withdrawal from Palestine don't exist either, over a hundred resolution condeming Israels occupation of Palestine on the United Nations website are ignored because Palestine does not exist. and the Palestinians living in Haifa, Yafa, Jerusalem, Ramalla can all be ethnically cleansed and their property and homes stolen from them because Palestine does not exist.

  • sussansontag

    You have to call Steven Speilberg and straiten him out, he actually showed Palestine on the map in his Raiders of the Lost Ark movie, Tell him to wipe it off his map because in never existed, how could he make a mistake like that and he's Jewish, he should know better.

  • I'm glad you are referring to such profound historical documents as "Raiders of the lost arc" although I hope it is not the entire base of your historical knowledge.

    "Palestine" dates back to the time of the Romans - long before there was a single arab outside the arab peninsula.

    The name stems from "philistia" - a territory around todays Gaza strip. The Philistines were a seafaring people of greek origin that have absolutely nothing to do with the modern day Palestinians

  • Even during Arab rule,approx. 600 to 1100 CE, Palestine was never an independent entity or country of any sort but a province at best! Never did it have the qualities that define a country or a state.

    Of course there were, and still are Arabs living in that part of the world. Surely enough many of them became refugees after their ill-advised attack on the newly created state in 1948. A state created by a resolution of the UN, you are so keen to uphold.

  • This is better than a comedy show, You think that Palestine since the Roman time, in your mind was never a state, or a country, so Palestinians who lived there since the Roman time deserve to have their land and property stolen from them and ethnically cleansed by the ZIONIST JEWS!!. That makes things really easy, just knock on the door of Palestinians and tell them "I know you've been here since the Roman time but Palestine is not a state or a counrty so kindly hand me your house key and leave.

  • I agree that Palistinans should not have their land taken from them... but unfortunetly political states and basic property rights are two different areas of discusssion.

  • For example, If their property were given back 100 percent under the condition that those living within isreal borders would have to become isreali citezens... would it be accepted? You will probably say no. The problem here is that there are isrealis that have been born there since 1945 meaning they would have just as much right to the land. How to reconcile both states (atleast for all that were born in the area) seems to be the main problem then.

  • sussansontag

    Thank you this has been very educational, I always wondered how the Jews justified stealing other peoples land and property, do you think they would ever stop stealing or maybe give back the land they stole from their neighbors, then maybe they will finally get the respect they long for from the law abiding international community.

  • Stolen???

    I refer you to UN resolution 181 from 1947

    learn your history buddy, learn your history.....

    oh, you are yet to show a single chatacteristic of a state.

    even the so-called Palestinian flag is that of the arab national movement. A movement calling for the establishment of a single arab entity from the atlantic to the arabian sea.

    The flag was than adopted by the PLO in 1964. Long after the establishment of Israel...

    so, remind us, who was the first palestinian president? and when?

  • sussansontag

    The Palestinians and the entire world would be thrilled if the ZIONIST JEWS would adhere to UN resolution 181 not to mention the over 100 UN resolutions calling for the ZIONIST to give back the land they stole. You don't seem to understand the definition of stealing, In criminal law, theft (also known as stealing or filching) is the illegal taking of another person's property without that person's freely-given consent. Can you produce a TITLE or BILL OF SALE? NO, then its stealing.

  • A quick history lesson, Palestine for centuries stood as a secular non-religious state, Christians, Muslims and Jews were all Palestinians, Itzak Rabin born in 1922 was a Palestinian. There was no Israel at that time.He may have been Jewish in faith but Palestinian by country. It's ludicrous to believe that Palestine did not fit the definition of a country and if it was not considered a country then by default Jews from around the world can displace Palestinians and claim it as theirs.

  • Senyah, had the palestinians adhered to resolution 181, their so-called "naqba" would have not happened. The Palestinians (or their leadership rather) have never accepted Israels right to exist and the latter, shame on them, don't just roll back and die to their chagrin.

    This is the true tragedy of the Palestinians. I truely believe that if they were courages enough to find some sort of compromise with the Israelis they would have been much better off. As long as they let ....

  • ...as long as they let Iran (through its proxies) or types like Galloway dictate their fate, they are going to suffer humiliating defeats as was the case so far. Their greatest success was Oslo, a success that was stopped due to Hamas' terror acts.

    Their only hope, as I see it, is to wake up from the silly dream of destroying the jewish state and instead work on some sort of a compromise that is going to be acceptable for both sides. A two state solution seems to be the most logical idea.

  • sussansontag

    You ethnically cleanse and steal land from the Palestinians, when they voice their opposition, along with Galloway and Iran, you accuse them of not accepting Israels right to exist and you steal even more land. Then you sign peace agreements and agree to give the land back but instead you elect a new party that does not honor the peace agreements and steals more land and you tell the Palestinians that it's Iran and Galloway's fault that you keep stealing their land.

  • I think It's too late for a two state solution, the land confiscations and settlements throughout the occupied territory makes it impossible to give the Palestinians a coherent state. it would look like swiss cheese chopped up in bits and pieces.

    The only practical solution at this point is a one state solution one man one vote and allow all the Palestinian refugees to finally go back to their homes. A true democratic state, not a racist state based on religion.

  • Senyah,

    Your "solution" is the establishment of an Islamic state (that will most likely will be as democratic as Gaza...) instead of Israel. I think you'll find it hard to convince the Israelis of the arabs peaceful intents. This solution of yours, that of a one state, means it's going to be a case of either/or. With the current balance of power, I am not sure how smart that choice is.

    On the other hand, it won't be the first time the Palestinians had taken this road...where it leads we all know

  • BTW, in Israel proper (read: inside the 1967 borders) arab citizens have the same vote as jews and indeed the same rights. In fact, they have a much much higher standard of living than 95% of arabs in the countries surrounding them.

    In this context, how much effort and resources did Syria or Lebanon put in improving the conditions in the refugee camps that are inside their territory? - Nothing!

    I'm sure you know exactly why....

  • after you give back the land you stole from your neighbors., keep your hands in your pocket and stop taking the US Taxpayers money to finance your finance your daily shooting and killing of women and children trying to survive in your concentration camps, after you've done that you can unlock your dungeons and release all the political prisoners, you can't claim to be a democracy and lock up political prisoners.

  • Your last comment is really Laughable, You steal the Palestinians land and property, ethnically cleansing them into refugee camps and you blame the rest of the world for not doing enough to help the refugee situation that you created. Do you actually believe what your saying.

  • sussansontag

    Your falsely accusing me of proposing an Isamic State, I never said that you can re-read all of my comments they are still on this thread. Having said that you on the other hand are defending a JEWISH STATE which can only be defined as a Racist State. If you can't overcome your Racism and co-exist with the rest of the world fine, then comply with UN Resolution 181 that you mentioned earlier, give back the land and property you stole from tehe Plaestinians, Syrians ans Lebanon.

  • sussansontag

    The Palestinians and the rest of the world accepts Israels right to exist within its border, but they will never accept Israels right to exist in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria. or any other country, I accept my neighbors right to exist in his house but not in my house. You can exist in your territory just leave everyone elses territory alone, Your blaming Galloway and Iran for stealing other peoples property, and you don't see anything wrong with it.

  • I think we've taken this as far as we can, You keep repeating yourself, making false accusations and using some pretty silly reasoning to justify 61 years of land grabbing, ethnic cleansing and killing. It's very powerful and amazing that a man like George Galloway who has no weapons, has never attacked or killed anyone can make the worlds 5th largest most powerful military in the world complete with nuclear weapons tremble in their shoes simply by speaking the truth.

  • sussansontag

    Until the Jewish State can behave like a civilized nation, respect other countries borders and property, it will always be as it always has been a ROGUE STATE with no Peace.

  • in 1947 the Mufti of Jerusalem, after the UN had passed resolution 181, declared : "I declare a holy war, my Muslim brothers, Murder them all!"

    The next day,Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Iraq declared war with the intent of destroying the new state. The result - 700 thousand arab refugees.

    1966 - syria continuously shelling Israeli villages and towns

    May 1967 - syria and egypt move their forces to the border and expel UN peacekeepers. Jordan and KSA send forces too

    On May 1967 ...

  • On May 26, 1967 Gamal Abdel Nasser declares " Our basic goal is the destruction of Israel"

    June 1967 - after a six day war, Israel was holding the Golan heights, Sinai desert and the wast bank of the river Jordan as well as the Gaza strip. Previously belonging to Jordan and Egypt - not "palestine" of any sort...

    In the ensuing Arab summit in Khartum (september 1967) the arabs had voted NO to peace with Israel, NO to recognition of Israel and NO to negotiations

  • October 1973 - Israel attacked again, this time escaping annihilation by the skin of their teeth.

    A "ROUGH STATE" indeed....

    Senya, next time try quoting facts.

    Throwing around slogans or CAPITALIZING some words doesn't make your case sound more convincing.

  • sussansontag

    This is ZIONIST PROPAGANDA to justify your ILLEGAL OCCUPATION and confiscation of other peoples land and property. First you steal Palestine, Part of Lebanon and Syria, then Iraq and Afghanistan, whats next Iran? Turkey? Egypt? Lybia is there an end to your madness, once a thief, always a thief. The ZIONIST RELIGION "whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine". You can't justify stealing no matter how hard you try. Just give back what you stole, rehabilitate your self from stealing

  • This is Fascinating logic, your bulldozing Palestinian homes ethnically cleansing them from their land in 2009, because you claim in 1967 (42 years ago)the president of Egypt Gamal Abdul Nasser made a coment that hurt your feeling. So in 42 years from now you will be bulldozing and stealing more territory because Hugu Chavez critisism hurt your feeling. First it was Hitlers fault, and now Its Gamal Abdul Nasser's let me guess next it will be George Galloways fault. That's Zionist logic for you.

  • Since you keep referring to UN resolution 181, then comply with it and give back the land that is clearly defined in that resolution for the Palestinians and while your at it comply with UN 242, 338 and the other hundred plus resolutions listed clearly on the UN website condeming Israels Illigal Occupations of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. The FACTS ARE CLEAR. You are not complying with international law.

  • Senya, I'm starting to get the impression your knowledge doesn't extend beyond throwing in empty slogans and CAPITALIZING them....

    UN resolution 242 calls for the withdrawal of Israel to the 1967 lines AND, notice this.."Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace"

    that's exactly the two state solution you have just rejected

  • Resolution 338 is just its reiteration...

    What you and other radicals want is the return of the territories so they can be used as a pedestal to launch the next attack on Israel in an attempt to destroy it and establish some Arab "democracy" in its place...(arab states are exemplary democracies as we all know).

    As I said, the arabs tragedy is that they have not learned the lessons of 1948, 1967 or even 1973. Every time they seek to destroy Israel they end up bringing a disaster on themselves.

  • P.S.

    as you are so keen on UN resolutions, and 242 in particular then the territories occupied by Israel in 1967 should be returned to Egypt and Jordan and not "Palestine" of any sort... Try looking up the maps from that period...

  • sussansontag

    You wanted facts. The facts are Israel has more UN resolutions against it than any other country in the world, I am merely referred to a couple of the more than 100 UN Resolutions against it. If you want to COMPLY with International law then comply with all of the UN resolutions. Accusing Israel of ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING other peoples land. Accusing the UN and me of being radicalls does not excuse you from complying with the law, the UN is demanding you give back what you stole.

  • sussansontag

    Accusing me of not understanding UN resolutions and accusing me and the UN of being radicalls for asking you to comply with these resolution is laughable and does not excuse you from complying with these UN resolutions. Lets just take one resolution to make things simple. You aknowledge that UN resolution 242 calls for the withdrawal of Israel to the 1967 border. Great then comply with it, it's been almost 42 years, what part of withdraw don't you understand?

  • Senyah,

    I'll tell you what's laughable. It's laughable to ask for the withdrawal of Israel and at the same time to seek to destroy it. 242 has two parts and you are ignoring the one that calls for the recognition in Israels right to exist within safe borders.

    You admittedly reject the two state solution as do the majority of arabs in the west bank, now why should the Israelis agree to withdraw? so their cities are easier to target?

  • Speaking of withdrawal, the Israelis did withdraw from Gaza and what sort of blossoming oasis did did the Palestinians create there?

    A terrorist-run "state" of sorts that seeks the destruction of Israel.

    Nasser suffered humiliating defeats whenever the waged war on the Israelis seeking their destruction. Saadat gained the Sinai peninsula back when he sobered up from those delusions.

    How many humiliating defeats would would the Palestinians endure until they sober up is anyone's call...

  • sussansontag

    You don't seem to understand the meaning of withdrawal, if your in complete control of Gaza's land, Sea and Air, your still an occupying power, that's not withdrawal. By depriving 2 million people in Gaza of basic food, water, and medicine, You are committing a Holocaust. You have learned very well from the German Nazzis. So you don't want to comply with UN181, or UN 242. When you drop phosphorous bombs on innocent women and children, it's not a humiliating defeat, It's Genocide

  • A Jewish university professor,at UCSB California, William I. Robinson is comparing Israel's treatment of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to the Holocaust . Gaza is Israel's Warsaw a vast concentration camp that confined and blockaded Palestinians, subjecting them to the slow death of malnutrition, disease and despair, nearly two years before their subjection to the quick death of Israeli bombs, Robinson wrote. We are witness to a slow-motion process of genocide. JOIN HIM, END GENOCIDE

  • @senyah5 Stop reading that much SF. It's not good for your intellectual health. Oh and try not to buy your history books from terrorist organizations. They're not a very good investment, you know?

    Of course you don't.

  • @abbielayla Hey Dude, Check out youtube video, Occupation 101. It's really Coool. while your at it check out youtube video Zionist Power Matrix, How Zionist Jews control America.

  • look your both wrong ok. israel and palestine are BOTH terrorist states, the only CURRENT difference is that israel is the one in power and thus has a MUCH greater template on which to impose its hideous power. if palestine with the superior state right now, you can BET that jews wud be treated just as bad if not worse than current palestenians. secularism is the way to go in both states. they are both monsters.
