‘This is for Gaza’: George Galloway wins UK seat after campaigning against Israel | ||
2024-03-01 | ||
[IsraelTimes] Veteran left-wing political maverick ![]() ... a British national embarrassment, not particularly honest, more fond of dictators and terrorists than he is of his native countrymen except at the peak of the election cycle ... , known for his heated anti-Israel rhetoric, wins a vote to become the new politician for the English town of Rochdale
After running a pro-Paleostinian campaign, Galloway won over many of Rochdale’s Moslem community by attacking both Labour and Britannia’s governing Conservatives for supporting Israel in its war against Hamas ![]() , making a foreign conflict the major issue — unusual in a by-election when local concerns usually dominate. Elected to parliament for the seventh time, Galloway will be an irritant to Labour, a party he once belonged to before being ejected for criticizing then-prime minister Tony Blair over the Iraq War. He even went so far as saying the liquidation of Blair would be "morally justified" for Britannia’s involvement. His victory underlines the divisions in Britannia over the Israel-Hamas war, which is in its fifth month and has brought protesters onto British streets in support of both sides. With the national election later this year, Galloway’s return to parliament will be short-lived but explosive. He has accused Labour leader Keir Starmer of being in the "pocket of Israel." Galloway won 12,335 votes compared with 6,638 for second-placed David Tully, an independent candidate. The former Labour candidate, Azhar Ali, came fourth after the opposition party pulled its support from him after his claims that Israel allowed the brutal Hamas-led October 7 massacres.
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... ," Galloway says in his victory speech. It will be the first time Galloway’s left-wing Workers Party of Britannia has been represented in parliament.
