Terror’s Lord Haw Haw: George Galloway
In World War Two “Lord Haw Haw” broadcast Nazi propaganda to Great Britain. Check out this link to Voices of the 20th Century which says: “Lord Haw-Haw was the name British listeners gave to William Joyce, a German radio propaganda broadcaster during World War II.”
In the 1930s Joyce was a British Fascist. In 1939 he left England and went to work for Hitler.
British buffoon and MP George Galloway was once a hard-core Marxist. Now he’’s become The War On Terror’s Lord Haw Haw.
Let’s have the leftist turned jihadi speak for himself. As published in The Daily Telegraph:
In his most inflammatory outburst yet on the invasion of Iraq, the controversial British member of Parliament George Galloway has sought to justify lethal attacks on British troops on the grounds that the rebels “are defending all the people of the world from American hegemony.”
Mr. Galloway described the insurgents as “ragged people, with their sandals, with their Kalashnikovs, with the lightest and most basic of weapons,” but who were still managing to defeat the world’s only superpower.
The member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow denounced those Iraqis who had joined the security forces as “collaborators” and said it was “normal” for them to be targets for suicide bombers — who have killed hundreds of them.
Mr. Galloway’s remarks, contained in a series of interviews broadcast by three Arab television stations after a recent visit he made to Syria, were more provocative than the comments that led to his expulsion from the Labor Party in 2003.
In what the party interpreted as incitement to attack British forces, Mr. Galloway said at the height of the American-led invasion in March 2003: “Iraq is fighting for all the Arabs. Where are the Arab armies?”
In an interview broadcast on Al Jazeera late last month, Mr. Galloway accused President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair of being terrorists for launching an invasion that cost civilian lives.
“It is not the Muslims who are the terrorists,” he said. “The biggest terrorists are Bush and Blair.”
A dedicated Marxist, Galloway’s agitprop now includes the rhetorical twirls and flourishes of Jihadist jive:
…During the part of the interview broadcast on al-Jazeera, Mr Galloway made a pun that, at first sight, suggested that he had become a Muslim.
“We believe in the prophets; peace be upon them,” he said. “Mr Bush believes in the profits and how to get a piece of them. That’s his god. That’s his god.
“George Bush worships money. That’s his god: Mammon.”
Adding the words “peace be upon him” in any reference to the Prophet Mohammed is common in Islam. But Mr Galloway is believed to have been referring to the prophets such as Moses, Abraham and Adam, who are recognised equally by Christians and Muslims…
Galloway’s not a legitimate critic — he’s in the process of moving from loudmouth left-wing nut to enemy propagandist. A member of the Labor Party comes close to saying that:
Eric Moonman, a former Labour MP and ex-serviceman, said the comments ought to be investigated by the Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin.
“Galloway’s remarks border on the unstable,” he said. “He is throwing petrol on the flames and putting at risk the soldiers who serve the country he is supposed to represent”…
Here’s one of Galloway’s more “unstable” quotes –he’s accusing the US and Britain of raping Jerusalem and Baghdad:
“Two of your beautiful daughters are in the hands of foreigners: Jerusalem and Baghdad,” he said. “The foreigners are doing to your daughters as they will. The daughters are crying for help and the Arab world is silent. Some of them are collaborating with the rape of these two beautiful Arab daughters. Why? Because they are too weak and too corrupt to do anything about it.”…
The Telegraph story ends with this assessment:
Experts in the Arab world said Mr Galloway was, consciously or unconsciously, aping the rhetoric of extremists. “No ordinary Arab politician or even journalist, would use such heightened language,” said one. “To say your daughter is being raped is, for an Arab, completely over the top.”
After World War Two Lord Haw Haw was tried for treason — and hanged.
What voices do you hear Mr. Galloway? In a fair world, you would be hanged.

Where are the Brits- they have stronger libel laws which would seem to reflect less of a respect for ‘free speech’ in the American sense of the word. If that’s not treason, then what the hell is? http://pmclassic.blogspot.com/2005/08/fear-and-treason-in-republic.html

The aping of Islamist rhetoric aside, Galloway’s tack is interesting because its core — hostility to the United States and its allies — reflected Soviet policy in the Arab world for nearly three decades. The United States supported conservative Arab regimes, mostly monarchies, against often viciously anti-Islamic regimes backed by the Soviets for years, and of course Soviet sympathizers in the West did not like it. I have long believed that we have paid a heavy price for seeing the Soviet Union collapse and then acting as if Communism and Soviet foreign policy had never existed. One small part of that price is that Marxist admirers of the Soviets’ effort to subordinate Islam to secular state socialism now get to attack the West for oppressing Islam.

It seems warranted, although I kinda lean towards something a little less pleasant than hanging for Galloway.

Bullies incite. Then, when confronted, protest innocence and deride those who confront. Don’t the British people have to wonder why their leaders are not standing up to a bully? The British people are not cowards. Why don’t ordinary British people say something?
Comment by Peter Hughes — 8/6/2005 @ 4:44 pm
The people who attacked the West, acting as servants of Soviet Imperialism have, in many cases, seized on the Islamists as the way to destroy the West, especially the USA. In their view the Commies should have won the Cold War, and they will make the alliance with the Islamist fascists to carry on that war into the future. Carlos the Jackal, that old Commie terrorist, converted to Islam in prison becasue he viewed it as the only means now left to fight against capitalism and the USA.

We should call Galloway “Lord Gaw Gaw”.
Comment by HA — 8/7/2005 @ 6:57 am
Michael L. is right I think, in that those who hate America will align themselves with whatever hurts or tries to destroy America. They will support environmentalists because they seek to shut down American technology and progress. They will support terrorists because they seek to destroy Americans. They will support dictatorships because they destroy freedom which causes prosperity.

I think we used to hang, draw, and quarter those guilty of treason. If tickets were on sale for such an event in London, I’d fancy it could be a rip-roaring commercial success. Mind you it’s a shame to limit it, as we’ve now got lots of traitors in the UK.

George Galloway now claims in his column in the Mail on Sunday (a right wing UK paper for which he is paid £90,000 per year - a leftie taking money from a right wing newspaper?) today that his words to Arab TV audiences were distorted in translation by MEMRI which he emphasises is an Israeli (read Zionist etc etc) website. Eerrrrr…. the TV clips including a lengthy one on Al Jazeera we have seen show him speaking in ENGLISH with subtitles…..says one thing abroad and another at home does he? Twit. He obviously knows little of the power of the Blog! PS Eric Moonman in your post is obviously a mixup twixt Eric Joyce (ex Major) and a chap called Moonie (ex Defence Minister)

The interesting thing about Galloway is that a British constituency elected him.
Comment by john Mack — 8/7/2005 @ 10:24 am
George Orwell wrote during WWII: Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementry common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice ‘he that is not with me is against me’. My thoughts also. Those on the Left that actively oppose the GWOT fit his description. Part of their problem is that they don’t view this as a real war. They also fail to realize that they will some of the first victims if and when the enemy begins a terrorist campaign similar to those now being practiced against Israel and Iraq.

It seems Galloway may be subject to prosecution under the new laws proposed by Blair this week - especially any speech which “glorifies” terrorist acts.

Mr. Galloway, when you are all alone and you turn out the lights and are in the dark, what do you see?

“The interesting thing about Galloway is that a British constituency elected him.” Interesting, but not surprising, as the constituency has a majority muslim population … and a majority of them seem to be anti-war and …. oh, yes, anti-British.

The interesting thing about Galloway is that a British constituency elected him. Galloway got elected from a heavily-Muslim district (Bethnal Green), and many have alleged voter intimidation from roving gangs of Galloway-backing thugs in the last election.

People like Mr Galloway are dangerous and their comments border on treason. There is no excuse for anyone to give aid and comfort to the enemy just because they do not like the politcs of the people leading their government and the government of an ally.

“The interesting thing about Galloway is that a British constituency elected him.” Yesterday evening I spoke with two nice ladies who had emigrated from England to America. They expressed a fondness for socialism and believed that Communism has its good points. Even after so many tens of millions of deaths and hundreds of millions enslaved and impoverished.

Hi folks Wouldn’t want you to think that we’re taking this pillock lying down. Under the current proposals on treason, inciting and supporting terrorism etc, Galloway would be convicted. By pure chance, we posted our own article a day after you. We’re thinking that there’s a deeper rot in parts of British society than even you recognise… Cheers Freedmanslife

I saw the quote about the U.S. and Britain raping Islam’s beautiful daughters. That is reckless to the point of criminality. Journalist Steven Vincent was just murdered in Iraq because of reports that he was going to marry his translator. She was badly beaten. The men in family apparently felt their honor required his death. Of course, in most cases of rape, the victim would also be killed. How would that be applied to Baghdad and Jerusalem? At the very least, I’d say this is treason. I think the Brits ought to be finding a way to lock him up and keep him incommunicado.

In this technological age someone should be able to put Galloway’s words into Haw-Haw’s voice and create some sort of short video clip placing Galloway back in the 40s.

George Galloway takes every chance he can to undermine America,Britain.Israel & the West he is trying to start a revolution by gathering a band of activists to join any demonstration to undermine the goverment & police.This man is one of the most dangerous men in this country.He demonstrates on behalf of the Palestnians but doesent when it comes to Darfor or human rights in China. He says he is a socialist but works for a capitalist radio station.He also works for an Iranian propaganda Tv station spewing out vile propaganda on behalf of Iran.This man should be tried for treason and thrown out of parliament.
