The following are excerpts from interviews and a speech by British MP Geo rge Galloway, which aired on various Arab channels on July 28 and 31, 20 05. Galloway (on Syrian TV, July 31, 2005): Mr Blair is using this crime and all these dead people as a justification for this absurd idea of a war on terrorism. The idea that Muslims have some kind of sickness in their bodies, w hich must be cured, which is the idea behind Bush, behind Mr Blair, and behind Mr Berlusconi's government in Italy - It must be resisted.
The real question is, after the evidence of Sykes-Picot 1, are you ready to accept Sykes-Picot 2? N othing except division, disunity, weakness, and failure. Two of your bea utiful daughters are in the hands of foreigners - Jerusalem and Baghdad. The foreigners are doing to your daughters as they will. The daughters are crying for help, and the Arab world is silent. And some of them are collaborating with the rape of these two beautiful Arab daughters. Because they are too weak and too corrupt to do anything about it. Are you ready to have anoth er hundred years like the hundred years you just had?
Galloway (on Al-Jazeera TV, July 31, 2005): This started out as a wish to terrorize the world with American power, or as Sharon would say: "Terrr rrrorize" the world with American power. They can control the skies, but only if they don 't come within range of an RPG, but they can't control one single street in any part of occupied Iraq. These poor Iraqis - ragged people, with their sandals, with their Kalash nikovs, with the lightest and most basic of weapons - are writing the na mes of their cities and towns in the stars, with 145 military operations every day, which has made the country ungovernable by the people who oc cupy it. 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'm sure, for all the times I spent in Iraq, that I never met any of them before. They are not the comfortab le in the former regime, they are not the leaders, with maybe one except ion: Izzat Ibrahim Al-Durri. They are the young men and the young women who decided, whatever their feelings about the former regime - some are with, some are against. But they deci ded, when the foreign invaders came, to defend their country, to defend their honor, to defend their families, their religion, their way of life from a military superpower, which landed amongst them. America is losing the war in Iraq, and even the Americans now admit it. Even the puppet ministers and regime in Baghdad know it. T he former puppet minister (Iyad) Allawi admitted it three times in the l ast month. The resistance is getting stronger every day, and the will to remain as an occupier by Britain and America is getting weaker everyday. Therefore , it can be said, truly said, that the Iraqi resistance is not just defe nding Iraq. They are defending all the Arabs, and they are defending all the people of the world from American hegemony.
The biggest terrorists are B ush, and Blair, and Berlusconi, and Aznar, but it is definitely not a cl ash of civilizations. George Bush doesn't have any civilization, he does n't represent any civilization. He believes in the profits, and how to get a piece of them.
Galloway (on ANB TV, July 28, 2005): Most of the children, most of the sc hools, most of the buses, were bombed by the United States. Let's keep t his clearly in perspective: Most of the children who died in Iraq were k illed by George Bush, not by Zarqawi. Most of the schools that were wrec ked, buses that were bombed, hospitals that were destroyed, lives that w ere taken, were taken by George Bush, not by Zarqawi. Number two: Most o f the resistance in Iraq is not Zarqawi, It's not foreign, whatever "for eign" means when Iraq is occupied by 250,000 foreign armies. Most of the ir resistance are Iraqis resisting the foreign occupation of their count ry. Most of the operations which they carry out are against the occupyin g forces and their collaborators, and this is normal in every liberation struggle.
