You post nothing but clueless nonsense. Do you really know anything about Galloway? Have you read any of the posts in this thread? What on earth is the point of your wibbling? You attack your own dishonest version of what I wrote just as you attack a fictitious version of Galloway.

The problem is that he has never been 'peace loving.'
In fact, he frequently encourages violence against sides that he doesn't support.
There are plenty of people who support the use of violence for achievement of their political views.
However, one of the reasons that Galloway is so widely despised by a large number of people is because of his frequent dishonesty, especially when he is promoting violence.
Many people see those kinds of actions from Galloway as destructive, disingenuous, and unhelpful for solving or calming International issues.
He does not support violence. Is your issue that he understands peoples right to defend their sovereignty if their country is invaded and they do not like the occupiers?
There's a titanic difference between people who feel their existence and culture is under threat defending themselves and on the other hand advocating full out needless violence.
Galloway absolutely supports violence, just for the sides the he supports. The problem with that is not so much that he supports violence, but that he is so dishonest about it.
In the video below, he mocks, insults, and sexually denigrates a caller into his Iranian TV show who despite being heavily "pro-Palestinian" supports nonviolence, and people who call for the killing of Jews.
At 5:38 in the video the caller says that "I believe in the way of Martin Luther King."
Galloway cuts her off and says "well that really hasn't been working out very well Hawa, that hasn't really been working out, the way of Martin Luther King."
Which absolutely is Galloway supporting violence and mocking those who would go the peaceful route.
Galloway continues that "that hasn't really been working out, the Palestinians gave up a long time ago the attempt to recover their country by arms a long time ago."
Which is untrue as the latest conflict clearly demonstrated, and is another case of Galloway being dishonest.
The worst behavior of Galloway starts at 6:30.
The caller notes that she is "Pro-Palestine, but at the same time I don't like when Muslims are going to say they are going to do Jihad, and kill people from the Jewish background."
Galloway cuts her off again by yelling that "who is saying that Hawa, what Palestinian has said, what Palestinian has ever said, GET OFF YOUR KNEES HAWA, GET OFF YOUR KNEES, the Palestinians are being slaughtered and all you can do is role out apology after apology..." And after Galloway is done with his insults, dishonesty, and sexual denigration, he cuts off Hawa's call before she is given a chance to respond.
On top of the whole sexual denigration part, it is that exact type of dishonesty from Galloway that causes these reoccurring conflicts to occur in the first place. When the supporters of Hamas give them a free pass to attack Israeli civilians and cities, and only focus on the 'evil' of the response, they are encouraging the continual conflict from happening again and again, while preventing the real efforts towards peace.
As for the sexual denigration part, Galloway would not have made that insult to a man, and it is insulting and inexcusable that he would talk to that woman that way.
I would never allow someone to talk to my mom or sister on the street that way, and most people would also find that type of behavior deplorable. Just because Galloway is an absent MP, and a celebrity on an Iranian TV show does not give him the excuse to act the way that he does.
Galloway's supporters need to wake up and get honest about what the man has been saying. He is not a supporter of peace, and he is habitually dishonest. There are genuine routes towards peace in the Middle East, and it is the opposite of the route that Galloway promotes.

Heh, that was amusing. He read that woman completely wrong. Methinks that he was gearing himself up for another episode full of Zionist propaganda phone ins, who tend to start out sympathetic to the Palestniians yet when concluding they suddenly come up with the most extreme fear mongering paranoia. At which point I just smile as George impatiently educates them.
You have now said twice "Galloway absolutely supports violence, just for the sides the he supports". I have never seen Galloway support a particular side of any war. He is always the one annoyed about the war happening despite all his anti-war campaigns and frequently rallies with troops parents to get them back safely asap.
He does make a point of stating the bleeding obvious sometimes, warning people that when invading a country that they will likely find continual resistance, it is not in-sighting resistance or violence. He tries to explain why such attacks happen, usually historically or using an Islamic mindset. The victims of this invasion will tend to defend what they see as their land from foreign occupiers. If you can find any evidence of him supporting violence please post it.
"He is not a supporter of peace, and he is habitually dishonest"
I've yet to see any evidence of this either, past your own subjective impressions of his character.
In a speech in the Middle East, Mr Galloway said: "These poor Iraqis - ragged people, with their sandals, with their Kalashnikovs, with the lightest and most basic of weapons - are writing the names of their cities and towns in the stars, with 145 military operations every day, which has made the country ungovernable.
"We don't know who they are, we don't know their names, we never saw their faces, they don't put up photographs of their martyrs, we don't know the names of their leaders."
I think that calling them martyrs and saying that they are writing names in the stars is glorifying/supporting the murderous, medieval, oppressive, religious-fascist insurgents who are out to destroy a fledgling democracy and install a terrible theocratic dictatorship.
"145 military operations a day" - what a disgusting way to describe deliberately bombing marketplaces and places of worship with the intent of killing civilians.

Nice quote. Pretty much spot on the money isn't it? Very sad situation, too much needless violence.

There's no need to lie about it, even if the news does. The people that blow themselves up think they are martyrs, giving their lives for what they see as the greater good of their neighbors. As delusional as they may be this is what they think.
145 military operations a day" - what a disgusting way to describe deliberately bombing marketplaces and places of worship with the intent of killing civilians.
So we call our actions military operations, yet any resistance we find from the indigenous people is what? Just evil terrorism with no other real motives? War on terror or war of terror? I can get some statistics out if you want.
It is not the hardware of military weapons that frightens me. A gun can't go off. It is the hatred that makes people want to use them. That is the fuel of war. To deny that would be delusional. Addressing the reasons for this anger and fundamentalism is of utmost importance, and Galloway is rather good at getting those mirror neurons firing in the public.
Heh, another classic Galloway cracker defending his comments on 7/7 following the lambasting of him in the media, who totally misrepresented his views and what he said. No wonder the media leaves him alone now! Yet to see him intellectually loose a debate.

BBC: Was it wise to say, as you said "it's not the muslims that are the terrorists, the biggest terrorists are Bush and Blair.
Galloway: Well that's my view. I was elected on that view. I have a mandate for that view. You may not like that view, but it is my view.
BBC: So Tony Blair has brought destruction to London?
Galloway: I am telling you the truth as I see it. It is my duty to do so, and I did it in the house of commons on the day of the bombing. The entire media and leading political class fell on top of my head. I was insulkted on news-night by Gavin Estler who said I was crass. The sky fell in on me, and I was even insulted on the today program.
BBC: But you said the fault lies with the people that carried out the attacks. So you are condemning the attacks that were carried out in London?
Galloway: Well. I'm almost insulted by that question. I'm bound to say how dare you ask me that question.
BBC: Well, the reason that I ask it is because the language you employed in numerous television channels could be seen to some as a justification for what they plan to do?
Galloway: Madam. If I say that a car has four wheels. And ford motor company says it has four wheels; that doesn't make me a part of the ford motor company.
BBC: When you said in your broadcast that the insurgents are martyrs what did you mean?
Galloway: Well a martyr, whether in an insergency or the Iraqi resistance, is dead. Whereas the Iraqi resistance are very much alive.
BBC: Ummm. You have said that two of your beautiful daughters are now in the hands of foreigners in Baghdad and Jerusalem, and the foreigners are doing to your daughters as they will. Some arab countries are collaborating with the rape of those two beautiful arab daughters. Why did you choose to use such inflammatory language? Which according to your critics, put the lives of British soldiers at risk.
Galloway: Well I don't think there are any soldiers occupying Jerusalem, or Baghdad for that matter. I believe that Baghdad is illegally, illicitly and violently occupied by the united states. I believe that Jerusalem is currently occupied by General Sharon. I'm not alone in that view.
BBC: you're not alone in your view about wanting to end British troops in Iraq, and there are other politicians that have argued the same, but not in terms of the language you employed. Let me finish. You talk of Arab countries collaborating with the rape of two innocent civilians. Are you prepared to take the flak for fanning the flames of an already dangerous situation, purely for the fact of young british youths who may think well here is our justification for staging suicide bombings and going to Al Queda training camps ?
Galloway: Don't you dare try to place responsibility for that on me. I am the person who if listened to we would not have been in this mess. We wouldn't be in Iraq. It should be me accusing you not you accusing me.
Heh, another classic Galloway cracker defending his comments on 7/7 following the lambasting of him in the media, who totally misrepresented his views and what he said. No wonder the media leaves him alone now! Yet to see him intellectually loose a debate.
That is yet another example of how he phrases his words to cause controversy to attract publicity and make out that he is the wronged party. If he moderated his language, he would lose the controversy and the publicity and not be able to play the wronged party.
If the media now leave him alone it is maybe because they have finally seen through his tactic and so do not play his game anymore.
You seem to be starting to realise how wrong you were. Go back and look at all our exchanges and perhaps you'll realise the full extent of your errors.

Well that's a whole new level of handwaving justification. Galloway must have made quite an impression to deserve such unquestioning loyalty.
I would bring up how he later in the video further mocked those who wanted to go the way of "Martin Luther King" instead of pursuing the violence route, where he said that "does anyone else think that we should go the way of Martin Luther King? Should they all get together and have a sit in?"
But I have no doubt that you would see that as in no way discouraging those who would choose pursuing options for peace over violence because that is the way that you want to believe it. Nothing much we can do about that.
All of the evidence provided so far can't make a dent because you simply don't want to pay attention to it. Well played.

There is along history of him making the media look like fools. He literally does it every time they are out of order. This is why they leave him alone.
And yes he is an incredibly good orator and public speaker, with a very large diction and voluminous vocabulary at his disposal to make his points count.
Galloway finally allowed back to Canada, after the ridiculous Jewish Defense League made a claim he was a terrorist and posed a danger to the people of Canada a few years back. Which was hilarious. You should watch the interviews he gave after that accusation. As usual, be beats his opposition into the ground.
Galloway is now armed with the ruling of Federal Court Judge Richard Mosley, who made it clear that the Conservative government used the Immigration Act to prevent Galloway from entering Canada because they disagreed with his political views -- not because he presented any threat to Canadians.
He was greeted with an audience of supporters and much applause at the Airport.
In the evening of Oct. 2, 2010, outspoken anti-war activist and former British MP George Galloway arrived in Canada to a throng of supporters waiting to greet him at the Toronto Pearson International Airport. Eighteen months ago, Galloway was refused entry and deemed a security threat.
