Defend George Galloway!

harry | 08.11.2005 10:43 | Anti-militarism

Defend the reputation of George Galloway.

George Galloway is not only being attacked by the right but also by large sections of the left, especially on this outlet.
Galloway has been the mainstay of the anti-war movement saying things that people would only dare. Greg Palast the so-called anti-capitalist reporter had attacked him so badly that George was not able to organise effectively in America.
The charges of corruption laid by Coleman are also idiotic. Coleman charges that the business man Fawwaz Zureikat put £85,000 in Galloway's wive's bank account. There are also allegations that Ron McKay, Galloway's campaign manager recieved over £20,000, and $446,000 was funded into the Mariam Appeal the political campaign to draw attention to the sanctions against Iraq.
It is true that Zureikat was involved in the oil for food program, and he was also a contributer to the Mariam Appeal as was Galloway's wife and McKay. Many businessmen across the globe involve themselves in charities or political campaigns that they support. It is no unusual. These links are slim to say the least and do not justify another witchhunt by Norm Coleman and his like.
