whew!

An interesting counter balance to other news sources in the West. Awfully shrill, rude and confrontational for someone trying to influence a western audience, however. I suspect the net result of this interview has done Hesbollah little good in the UK.

yeah indeed, not only in the uk but all of europe, they say that 2050 all over europe will be under the rule of islam, and it looks like its working now

I can't stand that guy--getting rich on Muslim oppression

" Awfully shrill, rude and confrontational for someone trying to influence a western audience, however. I suspect the net result of this interview has done Hesbollah little good in the UK"

On the contrary. The immense majority of Britons support an unconditional ceasfire and are opposed to Israel's bombardment. 100,000 Britons took to the streets of London in August 5th of last week in a national demonstration to protest Israeli war crimes and to hear MP George Galloway speak amongst other anti-war personalities. What George Galloway says has a strong resonance with most British people.

" I can't stand that guy--getting rich on Muslim oppression "

A flat out lie! Galloway doesn't get a penny for appearing on the right wing media. He's constantly slandered and has falsehood spewed about him for his strong anti-war position. Galloway as a Marxist has a long history dating back to the 80s of standing up for Palestinian rights.

What puzzles me is your ambivalence and hypocrisy: one moment you complain politicians are cowards afraid to speak out against Israel, yet when one does rise to the challenge as Galloway has marvelously done, you blast them as profitting from "Muslim oppression" , and to top off this absurd cycle of ill logic, you offer no evidence to suggest he is indeed profitting.

Further more, you seem to imply that only muslims care for justice,and only Muslims care about the plight of Lebanese and Palestinains- another fallacy of course. George Galloway, Cindy Sheehan and other anti-war figures have done more for Palestinains in the way of raising charity funds, and raising awareness than you or Arab leaders will ever do.

And I'm proud to have this great man representing my party in parliament.

"Galloway as a Marxist has a long history dating back to the 80s of standing up for Palestinian rights. "

I was wondering why that guy was so shrill and intentionally offensive. It sounds like he has made a career out of speaking for unpopular causes.

I will believe the immense popularity of his position in the UK when the Blair government is voted out of office.

" I was wondering why that guy was so shrill and intentionally offensive. It sounds like he has made a career out of speaking for unpopular causes. "

So Marxists are rude by nature- is that what you mean to imply? Moreover, it was the interviwer, Anna, the one being disrespectful in her introduction of him, for eample when she says something to the effect of "how do you justify your support for Hizbollah?" the implication being Hizbollah is a terrorist organisation, and as such, Galloway is by logical extension a terrorist sympathiser.

I, along with many of those who tuned in to Sky News think he did well speaking up for Lebanon.

" I will believe the immense popularity of his position in the UK when the Blair government is voted out of office. "

I'm afraid one can't just kick people out whenever one wishes. He's entitled to serve his full term until the next general election before we boot him out.

AA--Lol well rise to the occasion then—what’s with strong outburst about my little personal view—belief it or not I was a much stronger fan of this guy then you are indicating and the policies of respect—I’ve met him, heard him shouting for his support for Muslims and the oppressed many times.—so I think his a fake—and is in fact getting rich for his brave stand for Muslims—common sense—his place in the parliament was taken away, in other circumstances (If war on terror didn’t start) would have probably killed his politician career. But now he is the leader of his own party—are you saying he doesn’t get any money for that? If not he is probably getting fame for it. Lol Just because he is un-popular don’t mean he doesn’t get paid.
Never the less I like Salma Yaqoob, she should have stood as the party leader, I like her whole perspective on the government and politics.—And respect would have been an amazing party. (not be’cuz she is a Muslimah Lol)

So stop rambling about evidence I personally don’t like him—not respect or the socialist movement.—But Galloway—I don’t want to make you any more angry but he remainds me of a BNP leader only fighting for the opposite.

‘Further more, you seem to imply that only muslims care for justice,and only Muslims care about the plight of Lebanese and Palestinains’—No I do not think that—every human has the innate feeling to fight for justice and peace—Islam just waters it.

Well let us analyse why he was kicked out from Tony Blair's Labour party. He was fired on Tony Blair's orders beacuse he wouldn't fall in line during the eve of the invasion of Iraq. He was one of the few Labour MPs to speak out against the war. What led to his sacking was his saying "Iraqis have a right to defend their land against foreign occupiers" - that caused an uproar in the right wing media and was the final straw that led to his sacking.

Respect was then formed by disillusioned Labour and trade union activists as an alternative working class party. By the way Galloway is NOT Respect's leader. We have a commitee of leaders democratically elected anually. He was elected into parliament by Respect supporters. He's a memeber of parliament, that's his job, to be a voice for the working class- he gets paid as an MP, that's different from profiteering from war.

" So stop rambling about evidence I personally donÂ’t like him "

You can't go around making false accusations (especially one as grave as profiteering from war) without substantiating it.

" Islam just waters it (i.e compassion for the oppressed)"

Ridiculous. Our opposition to war is based on our deeply held principles of justice, equality and compassion. One of our principles in the SWP (Socialist Workers party) & Respect is that we support all genuine national liberation movements. Marxists have a long history of international workers solidarity that transcends borders, race, creed etc.
