Galloway condems Islamophobia, anti semitism still fine though?

Islamophobia is a problem that must be addressed, George Galloway has told his Respect party's annual conference in North London.

Singling out Jack Straw for particular criticism Galloway said "Everybody with a brain knows the reason why Jack Straw got down and dirty and scraped the bottom of this filthy barrel was to join the Dutch auction in New Labour of who can be most beastly to a minority - a minority which is already beleaguered and anxious in this country. And it's a disgusting, ugly sight and sound to see or listen to."

Fine words from gorgeous George! I should not mock: Galloway has shown his steadfast support for Muslims over the years not least through his steadfast support for such champions of justice as Saddam Hussein.


It is a major shame that his devotion to combating islamophobia is not matched by a fanatical opposition to anti Semitism

After being introduced on Al Jazeera television last November as “a former member of the British Houses of Parliament” He responded: “I am still a member of parliament and was re-elected five times. On the last occasion I was re-elected despite all the efforts made by the British government, the Zionist movement and the newspapers and news media which are controlled by Zionism.”

No Zionist Occupation Government, George? Perhaps you should don your leotard and go back to robotic dancing. You and Pete Burns made such a lovely couple!



As far as I am concerned Galloway’s continued presence on the political stage is about as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool

My God, the man is totally insane. I can't believe this buffoon is an actual MP. Why have'nt his constituants recalled him?

Indeed Al. Saddam was a monster, nothing less.

He campaigned in a constituency which has a large muslim minority on a single issue (the Iraq invasion) against a sitting MP who is of jewish origin. Basically the man is vile a piece of shit.

An MP or not, such presences are necessary, however odd that sounds. Just like that of C.Vadim Tudor here. A lot of stake tolerating them, yet better than spread in God knows how many parties. That experience keeps them alive and well.

You mean keep your bigotry one one scum sized package rather than let it pollute far more Red?

Agnes said...

Yepp. Don't ever let them split.

The one thing that does surprise me is that he has managed to wriggle out of all the shit that come his way. I daresay some of it will stick one day.

He's right about the zionist controlled press, though. I mean, you're not suggesting that Jews DON'T occupy most hi-level positions in media, are you? I hope we're still dealing in reality here guys.

If you had listened to the entire speech at the rally you would know that he condemns anti-Semitism too. As for his supposed quote about the 'zionist media', I believe this to be another smear. He believes the media is run in the interests of big business and powerful governments but he specifically hates it when the media is accused of being run by Zionists - I have heard him saying this at a meeting a couple months back.

But it's quite clear that people that hate George Galloway will believe any old rubbish they read.
