George Galloway Speech On Aid to the Gaza Strip(1/2)

Following his meeting earlier this week with President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted in statements made yesterday that Jerusalem will remain undivided. His assertion on the contentious issue central to the prospect for peace between Israel and Palestine follows reports that Netanyahu was unflinching during his talks with Obama in his disregard for a two-state solution. Meanwhile, Israeli aircraft also bombed locations in the Gaza strip earlier this week killing two civilians as a rocket was fired into the Israeli town of Sderot. The violence is reminiscent of the Israeli assault on Gaza that began on December 27th, 2008. British Member of Parliament, George Galloway organized a Viva Palestina caravan in the aftermath to deliver humanitarian supplies to its residents. The trip was cited by the Canadian government as a reason why he was denied entry into the country to speak earlier this year.

George Galloway has been a Member of the British Parliament since 1987 and is affiliated with the Respect party. He is one of the most outspoken elected representatives critical of the occupations of Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine in the English speaking world. He was expelled from the Labour Party in October 2003 in he wake of his comments on the Iraq war, which included a television interview in which he accused Tony Blair and George Bush of acting like wolves in invading Iraq.

George Galloway spoke last month on April 7th in Anaheim on the last stop of his Viva Palestina tour. Galloway will be speaking once more in Anaheim this weekend at the 7th annual al-Awda: The Palestinian Right to Return Convention.

that picture is a BIIIIIIIIIG exaduration

You are just one of those people who are either a liar or can't admit when he/she is wrong.

Your last comment is filled with absolute rubbish, as you pretend to know what you are talking about.

If I debunk your answer, you lie until you don't actually make sense anymore, you are an idiot.

[BorgHub]

you don't know what you're talking about.

85% of what was called Palestine is now called Jordan.

back in the late 1800 there were only a few thousand arabs living in what is today israel. and none of the land was fertile. it was a desert wasteland.

the jews made the land flourish. you can see it if you look at the map in google earth just look at the border between israel and egypt. israel's side is much greener. because they worked long and hard to make the land flourish

[R15L4]

Very aware,

That's not aid Israel are giving the Palestinians, back in the late 1800, Jewish people were promised a homeland in Palestine.

Over time, the Jewish people were moved and segregated from Palestinians, Jews were giving the most productive, fertile land and facility's etc..

Can't you just read a little before spurting your nonsense all over this page.

"biggest aid convoy gaza ever recieved"

maybe you're unaware of it, but israel actually gives gaza 50 times more aid in every single day than galloway brought with his convoy. all of gaza lives off israeli supplies. water, electricity, food, medicine is all supplied by israel.

the only reason israel keeps a blockade on gaza is to make sure no weapons (or materials to make weapons) can come into gaza.

because they know what happened when they left gaza open. hamas brought in tons of weapons

[R15L4]

How do you know he wasn't speaking for the people on the convoy as well as his own experiences, huh?

He doesn't use "I" ,"my" ,"me"does he it's "we" ,"us", "our" and the events he recalls were most likely the times he joined up with the convoy.

Have you ever Organized the biggest Aid convoy that Gaza has ever received?

Please don't state, "it's a little annoying" when you don't even like the guy I have noticed with your debunked arguments on part 2.

[BorgHub]

someone actually called him on his press tv show and asked "how can you be on this show every time if you're supposed to be on the convoy for two weeks"

and galloway said he flies back and fourth to the convoy.

so he actually spent very little time with the convoy since he had to be in london for most of the week for all his shows. he joined the convoy in the last moment in egypt.

so it's a little annoying to hear him describe being on the convoy when he wasn't actually there most of the time

[nokia10001]

there should be more people like galloway. He gets it.

[Toxie207]

Hmm - that's an interesting point. You could call him up and ask him.

[BorgHub]

galloway was actually not on the convoy himself for most of the journy.

if you check the archives you'll see that during the two weeks that the convoy was on its way he was on all his usual shows on radio and tv (four different shows every week). how could he be in two places at the same time?
