George Galloway is right...and that's what makes him so dangerous. It's unfortunate that Canada has taken such a hard stance!

Agree with him or not, kudos to The Hour for arranging this interview in spite of him not being allowed to enter 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!

2020 watchin this shiiet..damn, George always did a great interview. We need u back my fellow 🇨🇦

Couldn't have said it better. This is not the CONada we left our lands for

Love him 💙

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.

At least this man got balls...

Well said.

"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it." (Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.). You don't negotiate Slavery, Apartheid, Occupation and Racism. YOU END IT! A country based on Religion or Ethnicity and or both is a Racist country, why is that so hard for you to see.

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

I may not completely agree with him on all issues, but he is no terrorist nor is he inciting hatred or violence against anyone so shame on Canada for not allowing him to speak in a country that values free speech. My only question is since when was Canada part of the UN Security Council?

very interesting.

Bullshit questions George S. "You or your constituents ?" What the hell is that shit. lol

2 settlements? There are 121 settlements housing almost 300,000 people. They are located among the most arable land in the West Bank and have access to a grossly disproportionate amount of water in the desert.

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.

I feel that Canada made a bit of a boob here ,,,,,,George talks a lot of sense ,,,,,,and to stop him getting into Canada smells of undemocratic crap,,,,,Canada is a great country ,,,,,and should remedy this

george talking to george

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.

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

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

cool

It's because Canada hasn't had a stable government for... about five years now I guess... So I don't know if your claim on our lack of quick change in mass policy is entirely fair... lol

Canada was elected a part of the security council from 1998 to 2000. And will be i nthe bid to get elected again in 2010 or 11 i think. Not sure though.

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.

....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...

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.

lol, exactly, more conspiracy is the last thing needed at the moment. the world is in pretty bad shape, the last thing that we as a people need is to become even more paraniod.

all this shit about George and The Hour he still gets the best people for interviews, granted galloway is super controversial why the hell is this show still on so late? wtb better time slot for this show

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.

Sorry to disapoint you, but I don't debate kids, your parents didn't wash your mouth with soap abviously. If you want to get into mudslinging personnal attacks , you may search for the Beaves and Butt-Head. I believe they reside in Texas. I hope this helps you out.

meow

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

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

this whole notion of the war being religiously fueled is really a fantastic front for destabilizing the whole region. Do you know how much wealth is in that region of the world? And yet, the countries are constantly fighting amongst themselves. Once the countries (this includes Isreal AND Palestine) decide to stop being ignorant, so as to quench their stupid need to fight the war based upon religion, the whole area would be better off: happier, safer, and wayyy more tolerant. PEACE TO ALL!! :)

wow dude, where'd all that hate come from? Islam is really supposed to be a very peaceful religion that preaches tolerance. Also, there are hundreds of millions of Christian people that live in "third world" countries. What about those perfectly nice people? The term "third world" is such a terrible term in the fact that is has such a negative connotation. In reality, many people who live in those "third world" countries are actually some of the happiest people in the world.

yeah Stroumboulopoulos is a really jewish name

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

platonicmojo, would you like to tell the 5 million+ palestinians living in refugee camps because they were ethnically cleansed that they shouldn't complain you would consider it mudslinging and missing the point. What's the point. The Fact is Palestine was wiped off the map and the Palestinians were ethnically cleansed. Slavery ended, South Africa aparthaid ended and this Brutal Occupation In Palestine must end, no justice no peace.

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?

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

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

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.

Strombo is a stooge

platonicmojo Great so you think the Palestinians should form their own state outside of Israel, would you like to be the first to offer them your land to form that state, since the Jews have taken their land from them.

The Talmud is a religion?

since you think islam countries are bad no one is holding a gun trying to keep you there, just leave, tell the US/Israel to leave Iraq, Afghanistan, saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Pakistan. Just go home

platonicmojo, you need to check your calculator, there are hundreds of settlements in the west bank, it looks like swiss cheese. /2008/WORLD/meast/03/10/israel.palestinian.settlement/index.html

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.

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

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.

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?!

Your knowledge of the region is pretty shallow, Palestine for centuries was a secular non-religious state, Muslims, Christians and Jews lived as equal citizens, Itzhak rabin who was born in 1922 was a palestinian, he may have been Jewish by faith, but Palestinian by country. the current crises is a result of Jewish racist extremist Zionist, who believe they are God's chosen people and as such they are entitled to ethnically cleanse people off the land and claim it as theirs. Zionism is Racism

platonicmojo The only one confused here is YOU, there's nothing confusing about an Apartheid wall, different color license plates, millions ethnically cleansed into refugee camps. It's Racism not rhetoric, Israel has the 5th largest military in the world complete with Nuclear Weapons. I offered my solution, what's yours?

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.

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.
