I was an opponent of Saddam Hussein when the British and American governments and businessmen were selling him guns and gas.
George GallowayI am an opponent of Saddam Hussein, but an opponent also, of the sanctions that have killed a million Iraqi children and an opponent of the United States' apparent desire to plunge the Middle East into a new and devastating war.
George GallowayYes, I did support the Soviet Union, and I think the disappearance of the Soviet Union is the biggest catastrophe of my life.
George GallowayWe say here that if you fall down in the United States, the ambulance man must feel for your wallet before he feels for your pulse.
George GallowayEven if you only counted the votes that actually made it through the hoops in order to be cast, the president was really Al Gore.
George GallowayTony Blair will be remembered for nothing other than that he followed George W. Bush over a cliff; took the rest of us with them, and we haven't yet reached the bottom, I'm afraid.
George GallowayI've had more than 12,000 emails from the United States. It's not easy in the United States to find out the email address of a British parliamentarian.
George GallowayStop invading Muslims lands! How can you expect Muslims to love you when you are forcefully occupying their lands and murdering their people?
George GallowayThis murder of Hariri was deliberately planned and executed precisely to implicate Syria and to set in train the events which have unfolded.
George GallowayI refused this evening at Oxford University to debate with an Israeli, a supporter of the apartheid state of Israel. The reason is simple: no recognition, no normalisation. Just boycott, divestment and sanctions, until the apartheid state is defeated. I never debate with Israelis nor speak to their media. If they want to speak about Palestine – the address is the PLO.
George GallowayThe invasion of Lebanon by Israel .. is a monstrous injustice. I side with the resistance to that injustice. Hizbollah is leading that resistance. I do not hesitate to say .. that I glorify that resistance. I glorify the Hizbollah national resistance movement, and I glorify the leader of Hizbollah, Sheikh Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
George GallowayWe reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel. And you have to do the same.
George GallowayCanada has sent an army of 1,000 soldiers to occupy the Muslim country of Afghanistan (and ships to the Persian Gulf).
George GallowayChristianity doesn't come into it. George Bush and Tony Blair are not Christians. Religious people believe in the prophets, peace be upon them. Bush believes in the profits and how to get a piece of them. So don't ever confuse this with a war of civilizations.
George GallowayMRSA, which is a kind of super bug mutant, is killing 10,000 people a year in Britain
George GallowayI have never solicited nor received money from Iraq for our campaign against war and sanctions. I have never seen a barrel of oil, never owned one, never bought one, never sold one.
George GallowayThe most foreign fighters in Iraq are wearing British and American uniforms. The level of self-delusion is bordering frankly on the racist. The vast majority of the people of Iraq are against the occupation of Iraq by the American and British forces.
George GallowayHenry Kissinger is the greatest living war criminal in the world today, with the blood of millions of people in Vietnam and Cambodia and Laos and Chile and East Timor on his hands. He will never appear in a court or be behind bars.
George GallowayA small man intoxicated by being allowed to run around with the big, aggressive, powerful boys after so many years as a corduroy-clad peacenik.
George GallowayI'm an advocate of the great Dr. Johnson, the English man of letters who said that patriotism was the last refuge of the scoundrel.
George GallowayThere are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.
George GallowayMy own experience of growing up as a Roman Catholic in Scotland has led me to fear independence in Scotland. The possibility of Scotland being a kind of Stormont is a real one. I wrote a book recently about Neil Lennon's year of living dangerously and in the course of it I had to revisit some of my own experiences. Of course, most Scottish people are not swivel-eyed, loyalist sectarians but there are a large number of them. A large six-figure number, and if I were living in Scotland as a Roman Catholic I would be worried about that.
George GallowayThey say that politics is show business for ugly people, but as I always crack, what would I know about that? I like a challenge
George GallowayIf there's been any use of nerve gas it's the rebels that used it. If there has been a use of chemical weapons it was Al-Qaeda that used the chemical weapons - who gave al-Qaeda the chemical weapons? Here's my theory, Israel gave them the chemical weapons.
George GallowayIt's clear enough that there was substantial fraud in Ohio, thus delivering the Electoral College vote for President Bush.
George GallowayIt can be said, truly said, that the Iraqi resistance is not just defending Iraq. They are defending all the Arabs and they are defending all the people of the world against American hegemony....It's not the Muslims who are sick. It's Bush and Blair and Berlusconi who are sick. It's not the Muslims who need to be cured. It's the imperialist countries that need to be cured.
George Galloway
