Galloway congratulates Hizbollah

[ECH1969]

MP George Galloway has congratulated Hizbollah on its "victory" in Israel.

At a news conference in a Beirut hotel, the controversial politician said: "I came here to extend my congratulations to the Lebanese people on a great and historic victory against this aggression.

"I want to congratulate the Lebanese resistance and their leading edge, Hizbollah, whose martyrs and her s have achieved this great victory.

"And in particular to their leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, whose name now rings in joy around the world."

1. Listened to him on the radio tonight

His show on TalkSport here in the UK was fantastic, he is broadcasting from Beruit and will be in South Lebanon tomorrow.

[Tom Joad]

2. Blair supported, with Bush, the destruction of Lebanon, the massive

bombardment of the civilian infrastructure, the deliberate attacks against civilians, even as they were fleeing for safer ground, one of the worst environmental crimes in the last century with the greatest oil slick in the Mediterranean sea, carpet bombing neighborhoods with cluster bombs in direct contravention of international and US laws banning such use for its weapons...

I do not think anyone "won" a victory here. But it is clear that Israel lost much.

[Sherman A1]

6. I agree that no one really won a victory

it was pretty much a bungle-fest from day one.

[HongKonger]

7. Israel

Israel lost the PR war.

That's what is most significant.

[Phrogman]

10. Israel losing the PR war was very significant.

e0m

[MikeyJones]

94. I know

I don't understand how the Jews lost it. They had missiles slamming into THEIR country after the Hizbos started it all. Hizbollah has to be stopped at all costs though. Give them another 20 years to rebuild all their defensive bunkers and their arsenals and I tell you they'll do the same thing only worse then.

[radwriter0555]

68. Hezbollah did a good job in defending her nation from the attacks.

Hezbollah is Lebanon, and without Hezbollah, Lebanon would likely cease to exist.

[msmcghee]

89. Without Hizbollah - Lebanon . .

. . would still have her infrastructure intact and the 1200 people who died in this war would still be alive.

But of course, for you, that's nothing compared to the opportunity for you to say really stupid things about geo-politics on the "internets".

[GeorgiaDem69]

92. I was going to say

something similar but you said it better.

[Xenotime]

90. I agree... They have done a great job rebuilding their country...

They have helped their citizens unlike what * has done for New Orleans.

[MikeyJones]

96. Hezbollah only rebuilds the parts of Lebanon.....

where their wackos operate terrorist tactics.

[ShockediSay]

3. if we had such a spokesman in the US he'd be crucified by Abe Foxworthy

and the Israel Lobby, IMHO

witness Jim Moran, Marlon Brando, Fulbright &c

[IndianaGreen]

5. It won't be the first time that an innocent man was crucified

Spartacus was one of thousands crucified by Romans for daring to speak the truth.

[geek tragedy]

19. Galloway crucifies himself with his support for anti-liberal

theocrats and dictators. Not to mention his pitiful attention-seeking antics on Big Brother.

[IndianaGreen]

22. Just as Olmert does for his support of anti-liberal theocrat and dictator

George W. Bush.

Have you read Jimmy Carter's critique of Tony Blair as a subservient lapdog of Bush?

[Behind the Aegis]

24. Good Grief!

As bad as Bush is, he is no dictator. Your hyperbole in regards to Israel are OTT.

[IndianaGreen]

27. Take off your rose-colored glasses, Bush is a dictator

Israel is at a crossroad. Make peace by talking to Syria and the Palestinians, or remain in endless war by electing a fascist like Bibi and Liebermann.

Israel should have never gotten attached to the land taken in 1967!

[Behind the Aegis]

28. Try the lens of reality.

Saying he is a dictator does not make it so. He can be removed from office through non-violent means. He cannot, though you and he seem to think he can, rule absolutely. He doesn't have complete control of the government, though it sometimes seems that way.

As for Israel, no they shouldn't have become attached to the land, but then again, they should have never been attacked!

[GuillermoX71]

100. If Bush is Hitler

as you say, wouldn't it stand to reason that you'd be in a concentration camp right now?

Or do you not live in the US, thus feeling safe to criticize the Fuhrer?

[geek tragedy]

32. I am not defending Olmert or the proto-fascists

holding the White House.

[gorbal]

29. "Anti-liberal" as in

There are two different definitions of "liberal" on the world stage now. One refers to pro-gay pro civil rights policies in the west and the other refers to the support of "liberal" trade policies that have proved harmful to so many countries.

[geek tragedy]

31. Anti-liberal = pro-repression and dictatorship

and theocracy.

[zreosumgame]

38. ah, like Israel

[geek tragedy]

41. Yes, the Little Satan, Israel. As long as Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad

and Galloway oppose Israel, their amen corner on the left will celebrate them.

45. Lebanon isn't a theocracy, and I've never claimed that.

Nor will I claim that Israel is without its problems. Israel does need to address systemic racism against its Arab citizens.

Nasrallah and Galloway are still illberal asshats.

[zreosumgame]

49. include dumbaya and Olmert in that list and I agree

[geek tragedy]

50. We're in full agreement. Cheers. eom

4. Galloway is not alone in his condemnation of Blair

PM flies home to discontent
Press Association
Saturday August 26, 2006 2:13 AM

Some 37 Labour Party members in Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett's constituency of Derby South lashed out as they quit for the Liberal Democrats.

The defectors, predominantly Muslims of Pakistani origin, included Mohammed Rawail Peeno, a Labour Party ward chairman, and Masood Akhta, an ex-city and county councillor.

Mr Peeno said: "We could not remain in the Labour Party after their mishandling of the Lebanon crisis. When Margaret Beckett refused to back a ceasefire and instead sided with George Bush, it was the breaking point for us.

"New Labour have abandoned the beliefs that led me and thousands of others to join Labour in the first place."

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell called the defections "significant". He added: "The Government's position on the Middle East and Iraq shows just how out of touch it is with many in its party and the majority of the general public."

8. Getting bored, George?

Guess it was time to get on TV again, eh? How's that working out for you? Everything you'd expected?

61. Was he pretending to lap milk out of Nasrallah's hands? lol

http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2006/01/14/pggalloway_1501_wideweb__470x343,0.jpg

Yet people here stand by him like he was Abraham Lincoln.

:loveya:

Peace.

[BooScout]

71. That's because all they see of him is standing up to Congress....

...and telling them off. I applaud him for that, but he's still an attention seeking prat....who only seeks the limelight for the attention.

[N90ATC]

95. Big Brother

How did he do on that show? I saw the finale of this season & it's much worse than the US version. WANKERS!

11. I usually like him, but that is going a little far.

Showing Hezbollah a little more understanding is one thing.

I am just hoping both sides are so sick of being bombed that they never do it again.

(I also hope the US learns to stop bombing people BEFORE the like happens to us)

[CJCRANE]

12. Galloway is a bit extreme.

But I don't begrudge him his freedom of speech. He helps to show the other side of the story.

13. I would congratulate the end of the war....without supporting Hezbollah nt

[gorbal]

14. He made me do some research

Here is an interesting interview with the leader of Hezbollah

http://www.workers.org/2006/world/hezbollah-0831/

Interesting to get their side of the story. We don't see it much.

[oblivious]

15. Interesting, thanks. Sounds like they're just plain fed up.

[David__77]

16. I wholeheartedly agree.

There were tremendous acts of heroism in defending Lebanese sovereignty against the aggression. While I do not agree with their political program overall, Hezbollah is expressing the will of the people of Lebanon.

[INDIA]

87. "Hezbollah is expressing the will of the people of Lebanon."

A little more than half of Lebanese want Hezbollah disarmed. It's a lot more complicated than you imply.

[brentspeak]

17. There are right wing morans...and there are left wing morans

Galloway is President of the latter.

[geek tragedy]

18. Galloway is an illiberal leftist.

He has expressed his admiration for the dictator of Syria, calls Tariz Aziz his dear, dear friend, and has said that he "glorifies" Nasrallah. He supported the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and mourned its passing.

Pure scum. His stint on Big Brother was merely par for the course.

[breakaleg]

20. I find him very amusing.

While he goes a bit too far at times, at least he is out there getting the "other", non-Israeli, point across. And that's a good thing. While most politicians seem to support Israel, it's with rhetoric and ideology, and pays very little attention to the individuals on the ground.

[moondust]

21. Galloway marginalizes himself.

The jury is in: This guy is just plain stupid.

[truthisfreedom]

23. hmph. kinda strange. makes me a little uneasy about ever liking the guy.

more than a little bit.

i mean, he could have kept his mouth shut.

[cali]

25. Galloway keep his mouth shut?

Not a chance in hell.

[oblivious]

26. I like Galloway because he speaks like a free man.

Like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez. I don't always agree with them, but I laugh at the sheer impish enjoyment they get out of tweaking the noses of US, British and Israeli leaders (UBI). They realise that words and diplomacy are just abused by UBI and that UBI's power and influence is on the wane, so they moved outside the bubble and say whatever the fuck they think. They're sometimes inconsistent and engage in a certain amount of hyperbole, but I find their straight talk quite refreshing and love how it drives their detractors into an absolute frenzy.

[geek tragedy]

34. You find Holocaust-denial 'refreshing?'

Ahmadinejad is a theocratic Neo-Nazi. Fuck him and anyone who likes him.

[oblivious]

43. I'm not sure he denies the Holocaust.

Take the letter to Merkel:

"The question is if these countries, especially Britain, felt responsible for the Holocaust survivors, why they did not settle them in their own countries?" it said.

This doesn't sound like denial to me. He does question why Palestianians should have have suffered for the sins and guilt of Europe.

Whatever happened to his Holocaust investigation conference? I didn't read anything about it actually happening. Most likely because he knew the idea was ridiculous. I mean how difficult is it to prove the Holocaust happened. The documentation would sink the conference venue. He seems to just say these things to tweak the noses of his critics. But the warmongers love to see them in the headlines and get worked up into a red-faced frenzy, frothing at the mouth, calling him all sorts of bad names -- madman, crazy, insane, neo-nazi, theocratic -- and think: BOMBS, BOMBS BOMBS.

[geek tragedy]

47. He's denied the Holocaust on multiple occasions--

he called it a "myth" or "fabrication."

[radwriter0555]

66. Galloway has never ever said that the holocaust is a myth or a fabrication

in any venue, recorded, live or repeated in print.

I've seen him accused of backing people who claim the holocaust didn't happen, but that's quite an abstract connection and a bit far fetched as well, but pretty much as close as it gets.

While Iran is anti-jewish, considering the entire nation of israel wants them dead, I can't say that a war of words is always going to be polite, kind and fair.

Galloway is a good man who has the balls to say what the bad guys don't want to hear. I totally dig it.

[malaise]

79. Anti-Zionism is not

anti-Jewish. Iran is against the Zionist state. Big difference.

[radwriter0555]

80. Like pretty much anyone of reasonable conscience, Iran opposes any state

that oppresses, attacks, invades, conquers and terrorises. Zionist isn't a state per se, but a movement. If that movement is being used to oppress, attack, invade, conquer and terrorise its neighbors, then I can how a nation/state would oppose it.

[geek tragedy]

81. I was talking about Ahmadinejad. eom

[MnFats]

52. did so again within the last 48 hours....holocaust 'made up' to embarrass.

...the Germans and aggravate their anquish in WWII defeat.
you could look it up.

[LordLovesAWorkingMan]

35. "engage in a certain amount of hyperbole," huh?

Like those little offhanded nuggets about wiping Jews off the face of the earth. Only a certain amount of hyperbole there...

:sarcasm:

[oblivious]

48. It has been shown over and over again here that he never said that.

"Wiping Jews off the face of the earth."

He never said that. It's so ironic that you would accuse him of hyberbole and do exactly the same thing.

He said the name of Israel should be wiped off the map and replaced with Palestine. It's the Western press and American politicians who insist on changing that to "destroying Israel", but I don't think any of them have been so dishonest as to change that to 'wiping Jews of the face of the earth.' I don't know what your purpose is in changing his words like that.

The Jewish people are respected in Iran. It has the largest Jewish community of any Muslim country.


Tehran has 11 functioning synagogues, many of them with Hebrew schools. It has two kosher restaurants, and a Jewish hospital, an old-age home and a cemetery. There is a Jewish representative in the Iranian parliament. There is a Jewish library with 20,000 titles, its reading room decorated with a photograph of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Khomeini protection of Iran's Jewish community is confronted by contradictions....

...''Sometimes I think they are kinder to the Jews than they are to themselves. ... If we are gathered in a house, and the family is having a ceremony with wine or the music is playing too loud, if they find out we are Jews, they don't bother us so much,'' Eliyason said. ''Everywhere in the world there are people who don't like Jews. In England, they draw swastikas on Jewish graves. I don't think that Iran is more dangerous for Jews than other places.''
http://www.jewsnotzionists.org/iranianjews.html

But hey, some people are determined to go to war with Iran and propaganda is part of war. Got to whip up some hysteria. Get the people ready.

[rinsd]

51. Here's some more Iranian love for Jews

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/25/world/middleeast/25iran.html?_r=1&ref=middleeast&oref=slogin

Wikipedia was actually helpful here with a bunch of links

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Jews#Current_status_in_Iran

"here is a Jewish representative in the Iranian parliament."

Yeah, they are limited to one much like other minority religions.

Iran isn't the worst place for Jews but its hardly equal footing.

[oblivious]

53. The point is he has NEVER talked of wiping Jews off the face of the earth.

[geek tragedy]

60. No, he just denied that Hitler tried to do so.

Keep on defending your hero, though.

[geek tragedy]

54. Nasrallah, on the other hand, has said that the he prefers

having as many Jews as possible in Iran, since that spares Hezbollah the trouble of going after them overseas (like in Buenos Aires).

[LordLovesAWorkingMan]

63. We can probably have a link war as long as you want, but OK

Your screen name seems apropos, for sure...

From http://web.israelinsider.com/Views/7829.htm

'...the hatred toward the world Jewish community is boiling over. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for jihad against Israel with his proclamation that Israel must be, "Wiped off the face of the earth." Ahmadinejad is strategically fanning the flames of hatred among Islamic terrorist groups to unite against the Jews and the Western world.'

If you want something from a news source with a demonstrably liberal editorial stance, how about...

From http://www.guardian.co.uk/iran/story/0,12858,1601413,00.html

'Iran's new president created a sense of outrage in the west yesterday by describing Israel as a "disgraceful blot" that should be "wiped off the face of the earth". Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who is more hardline than his predecessor, told students in Tehran that a new wave of Palestinian attacks would be enough to finish off Israel.'


From http://www.opiniojuris.org/posts/1156644977.shtml

'It is perfectly clear from this that — irrespective of whether one translates the controversial phrase as “be wiped off the face of the earth” as did the Iranian news agency, or as “vanish from the page of time,” as did Juan Cole — Ahmadinejad is calling for the elimination of the state of Israel and its replacement with a state of Palestine in which Jews will have no right to participate. The euphemism of “Zionist regime” is an old and familiar one for the Jewish state of Israel. It does not refer to any particular government of that state. Similarly the reference to the Jewish population of Israel as “those who have come to this land from far away to plunder this land” is a familiar one, and is particularly appropriate to Ahmadinejad who speaks of the Jewish population of Israel as interlopers imposed on the Middle East by Europe in response to the Holocaust.'



I might need this barrel for something later, so I'll resist the urge to keep blasting it full of bullets.

[oblivious]

64. And where does he talk about "wiping Jews off the face of the earth"?

Re your post #35, better dig deeper into your vast supply of "bullets".

[LordLovesAWorkingMan]

65. I can't help it if you won't read, or if you don't like what you read.

Sorry.

[oblivious]

67. Just show me where he talked about "wiping Jews off the face of the earth"

How hard is that? I read everything you posted, but there is no such quotation by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

[LordLovesAWorkingMan]

69. I'll bury it in sand

so you can read it from your vantage point there.

36. I'm with you, Oblivious!

They stir the pot briskly and in doing so give us all insight into how much muck is stuck at the bottom. I too find it entertaining to watch all the chains getting jerked about. :rofl:

40. You're the ones celebrating how Ahamadinejad

jerks people's chains by denying the Holocaust, and by Galloway praising a racist, homophobic theocrat like Nasrallah.

I'm just wondering how that is more appropriate here than at Free Republic.

[Karenina]

55. Thanks for illustrating my point.

And exactly WHERE have you seen me "celebrate" Ahmanidjit? I just think he's funny. My opinion of him is informed by my contact with like-minded IRANIAN ex-pats, watching carefully what he spews and when, PLUS having access to ACCURATE translations. What we're dealing with these days is so far down the rabbit hole that sometimes laughter really IS the best medicine.

AND GUESS WHAT? There are also racist, homophobic theocrats in the U.S. and Israel who make it their bidness to drown out the voices of reason and sanity.

Perhaps I am not the one who has a mistaken URL. ;-)

[geek tragedy]

56. You're talking about how he's entertaining and how

he gives us insight into those people whose chains he is jerking.

Oblivious also gave us this:

"They're sometimes inconsistent and engage in a certain amount of hyperbole, but I find their straight talk quite refreshing and love how it drives their detractors into an absolute frenzy."

Holocaust denial doesn't qualify as straight talk, last time I checked. I certainly would never praise David Irving or Ernst Zundel for 'straight talk'--but Oblivious just did the equivalent.

[Karenina]

72. Yadda-yadda-blah-blah...

:boring:

[rinsd]

44. "straight talk"

"inconsistent and engage in a certain amount of hyperbole"

I am at a loss of how the above translates to straight talk.

The concept of the enemy of my enemy is my friend is apparently taken a bit too seriously by some on DU.

[MikeyJones]

58. While I also like what Mr. AhMADinejad frequently talks about because he's

honest -- I disagree completely with the content of what he says. I like him because he has balls and he's cocky. He oozes charisma. He shoots his mouth off without regard to anybody's opinion but at the same time the idiot needs to curb his mouth. It is getting annoying. To much preaching and whining can quickly turn him into the equivolent of a mosquito buzzing around somebody's head -- soon it just becomes another annoyance that nobody wants to hear about.

[Spinoza]

86. "...I like him because he has balls

and he's cocky. He oozes charisma. He shoots his mouth off without regard to anybody's opinion...."

An excellent description of.....Adolph Hitler.

[MikeyJones]

93. Good point

I like the man because he's "his own man" so to speak. He doesn't cowtail to the West. Instead the West cowtails to him and bends over backwards so the crazy man of Iran doesn't blow up and do something that will lead to WW3. Be careful with your comparisons to Hitler though, Savage and other right-wing radio pundits are using the same anology to help drum up war support for a potential operation against the Iranians. And that's the last thing I'm sure any of use want to see:

the final implementation of neoconservative ideology.

It's fine to criticize Israel for its reckless invasion of Lebanon, but to congratulate a sexist, homophobic reactionary like Nasrallah puts Galloway on the far right. He embarrases a lot of us who supported him in the past.

[Master of Disaster]

46. I would have expected nothing less from Mr. Galloway.

[0007]

62. Galloway is right on as usual.....

Western governments are intensifying their pressure on Damascus and Tehran for which they are proposing a change of regime. Some sources are of the view that the attack on Lebanon will be directed on Syria. Is a regional war possible?

The centers of imperialist power want to make collaborators of our region as a whole. They expect us to kneel before them. Syria, Iran and we are opposing this. The provocation concerning the former Leba nese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and the efforts to secure the withdrawal of the Syrian army from Lebanon and going even further, their wish to attack callously on to Tehran and Damascus are all due to this reason. Syria, with Iran and Hezbollah will certainly resist this. The imperialists of the west are seeking to make a second Kosovo out of Lebanon and our region. They are seeking to create a clash between sects. But we have spoiled this trick. In our streets, the whole of Lebanon, with its Christians, Sunnis and Shias, are flying the flags of Hezbollah. Again, the unipolar world has already been left back in history. There is us, there is Iran, there is Syria, there is Vene zuela, Cuba and North Korea. There are the resisting peoples of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan! As long as there is imperialism and occupations, these people will continue resisting. They can forget about peace. If they want peace, they should now respect the freedom of peoples and should eliminate the collaborating gangs. God willing, the victory will be ours. They are not going to be able to turn our country and region into a Kosovo. Now our people are aware of everything and will not play into imperialist tricks. We will absolutely not permit them to attack Iran or Syria. We are going to fight for our freedom to the last drop of our blood. Let no one doubt this. They are claiming that Iran has nuclear wea pons at its disposal. On the contrary, most of the nuclear weapons are in the hands of the collaborating gang of Israel and the U.S. Furthermore, nuclear wea pons are nothing but excuses put forward in order to create collaborating regimes in the region.
