ABOUT GEORGE GALLOWAY:
Few contemporary politicians have attracted as much controversy as George Galloway. A Labour MP from 1987 to 2003, he was an outspoken critic of the policies of Tony Blair and New Labour, in particular the decision to invade Iraq. Fiery comments such as "the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders" saw Galloway expelled from the Labour Party. But Galloway returned to the political fray by founding the Respect Party and winning Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 General Election. Mr Galloway re-entered Parliament in this March as MP for Bradford West and has recently provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the rape charges against Wikileaks' Julian Assange.

    Adir filipescu you're a funny individual, you're trying to say that Zionists went into the Palestinian homes, politely asked them to leave and never come back, for it's actually their home? Not to mention that history says otherwise, but just to be sure, are you actually saying that it was a peaceful invasion? Are you out of your mind? I'm not saying that the Palestinians didn't fight, because it's only natural, imagine i show up to your doorstep with a piece of paper that reads "this house belongs to me" disregarding every last effort you made into building that house (not to mention the thousands of years of ancestry you have in that area), and then i demand you to leave, and when you (rightfully so) refuse to leave the house, i murder you and everyone you know in front of the entire world, yeah, seems fair to me.....

    Totally agree with Galloway's arguments. He talks like a man with education and a lot of common sense, a lot of which many of the politicians in the UK, US, Canada and other western democracies lack. Having degrees or a lot of money is not a substitute for doing the right thing. Galloway must be praised for standing for the rights of the individual over the rights of government and fighting against imperialist policies that result in wars, and killing of innocent people and children.

    The fact that he gave money to the Palestinian ministry of Health is a badge of honour. Besides which Hamas is the democratically elected legitimate government of the Palestinian State, if he gave them money, so what? This isn't America, Palestine is broadly supported in the rest of the world. And you might want to re-watch Galloway's defence in the US on Oil-for-food. He didn't just destroy them, he annihilated them. He obliterated them from existence. I have nothing further to add to it.

    George didn't go to University, he's a natural rhetorician. If you were to look among the ranks of MPs for the truly "born leader", Galloway is the standout. When you compare the current leader of the Labour Party to George Galloway there's no comparison really. But he's still a politician. He's largely on the side of progress, but he does have a network of heads of state he is on personal terms with, doesn't mean he supports them, just what a leader would do (not Ed Miliband evidently)
