Remember back during the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, when George Galloway proclaimed to loud cheers at a “Stop the War” demonstration:
“I am here to glorify the resistance, Hezbollah. I am here to glorify the leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah.”

The same Hezbollah and Hassan Nasrallah which organized a welcoming celebration for the freed child-killer Samir Kuntar?

Perhaps one way […]

Remember last January when London-based Hamas spokesman (and Stop the War Coalition speaker) Azzam Tamimi told a Tel Aviv-born Israeli to “go back to Germany”?
Perhaps he was representing the position of Hamas’s famed moderate wing. Now it seems some in the organization have an even more extreme position on the Jews living in Palestine (including, […]

Say what you want about Saddam Hussain, he did have an effective hold on state violence. Rather ironically, it was the loss of that stranglehold on the various factions and interlopers in the post-Baathist Iraq that led to many left-wing pro-Iraq war supporters revising their opinion on the war. The loss of life, regardless of […]

There’s some handwringing going on at the Socialist (dis)Unity blog over a disappointing turnout in London for yet another Stop the War Coalition demonstration.
Judging from Richard Seymour’s video, it was a rather desultory affair (despite his efforts to add excitement with fast-motion and the “Street Fighting Man” soundtrack). I can’t imagine anyone waking up on […]

Judeosphere tells you everything you need to know to fit right in with the more-anti-Israel-than-thou crowd.
Speaking of which, any reports from the latest Stop the War Coalition actions in London and Glasgow? Did anyone there mention the latest, um, unpleasantness in Tibet?
If anyone is interested, here is the ANSWER Coalition’s explanation of why there is […]

There is a small group of Stoppers* and 9-11 ‘Truthers’ known as ‘We Are Change’ (WAC) who some of you may have seen in recent You Tube confrontation with Nick Cohen.
On Wednesday, the WACOs were in action again - choosing to make Alastair Campbell’s attendance at a football match a chance for protest. How contemporary […]

Reviewing the official George Galloway website I note that he had listeners at a recent rally rolling in the aisles as he described Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell as Tony Blair’s “mini-me”.
Which gives me a legitimate excuse to re-post a picture a kind reader sent to us back in 2005…

George Galloway has always denied taking money from Saddam Hussein’s regime to fund his anti-sanctions campaign and even swore on oath to the US senate and a British court to that effect.
After a major investigation the Charities Commission begs to differ:
George Galloway’s campaign against Iraq sanctions was bankrolled using aid diverted by Saddam Hussein’s regime […]

Presenting “Big Brother’s Big Mouth” alongside Peaches Geldof and Chris Moyles.
As “Entertainmentwise” puts it:
That line-up is as close to a guarantee of bum-clenchingly embarrassing TV as you are going to get.
Found his level though hasn’t he?

Put aside for a moment the almost-certainly coerced “confession” of trespassing and praise for her captors from British seaman Faye Turney.
Consider how easily and reflexively a couple of the antiwar movement’s leading lights blame the victims.
Former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan turned Stop the War Coalition star attraction Craig Murray writes on his blog that Iran […]
