Produktbeschreibung
George Galloway (born 16 August 1954) is a British politician, author and broadcaster, who has been a Member of Parliament since 1987, and is particularly known for his anti-war views. He was a Labour MP twice, first for Glasgow Hillhead, and later for Glasgow Kelvin, before his expulsion from the party in October 2003, and his subsequently becoming a founding member of RESPECT; he currently represents Bethnal Green and Bow, having been elected to that seat in 2005. Galloway is perhaps best known for his vigorous campaigns in favour of the Palestinians in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and for his defence of Hezbollah in Lebanon. He attempted to both overturn economic sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s and early 2000s, and to avert the 2003 invasion of that country. He is also known for a speech he gave before then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, in which he appeared to praise the dictator, although Galloway has maintained that he actively opposed the regime until the United States-led Gulf War in 1991, and has always stated that he was addressing the Iraqi people.
