During his detention, the Israelis repeatedly claimed that his entire family had been killed, using a cruel psychological tactic to break him.
But today, as he returned to his home in Gaza and climbed the stairs, his wife ran into his arms, and his children and parents, all alive, stood around him overwhelmed with shock, relief, and joy.
ears of torture and the horrors of Israeli prisons were laid bare today as Palestinians welcomed their freed prisoners.
Some arrived without limbs, others skeletal from starvation, and several so weak they could barely stand, suffering severe dizziness from years of medical neglect behind bars.
It does not help that British citizens are permitted to travel to Zionist Israel and join the military there to commit genocide in Gaza – or travel to Neo-Nazi Ukraine to fight for the Hitlerite military formations with absolutely no recriminations from the British State. On the other hand, for over a hundred years (since the 1917 Russian Socialist Revolution) the US and its Western European satellites have routinely and continuously demonised Socialism and ridiculed “love” and “compassion” – clearing all opposition to the far-right in the Western mind. This one-sided and conditioning toward the far-right intensified after 1945 and the Red Army’s remarkable victory over Nazi Germany. Being brought up in the era of the US exporting its own particular brand of anti-intellectualism, the youth of the West were erroneously taught that up was down, left was right, back was front – and all kinds of other contradictory falsehoods.
This demonstrates how the left must ignore the ignorance of theistic religion and strictly maintain its secular moral compass. Muslims, by and large, due to their religious indoctrination, will side with whoever is siding with them, whilst having absolutely NO intention of actually manifesting any political view not vetted by the local Imam. Muslims will also change sides to momentarily align their issues with the greatest number of non-Muslim supporters – but will never alter their theological viewpoints. Leftists must remain above the madness of theology and the fog of religion. It is Zionism (as fascism) that must be confronted – not Judaism or Jews. Indeed, many Jews are anti-Zionists. Of course, I am sure there are individual Muslims who reject anti-Semitism – but the theological pull is very strong. I would argue that ALL theistic religion is a problem – but one of evolution – rather than specific belief. As a species, humanity needs to move on away from being scared of shadows and worshipping spirits out of fear.
Galloway’s only slither of remaining leftism has been his support for the Palestinians – but when he was accused of being a “White Messiah” by an Arab during a heated debate – Galloway decided to distance himself from Gaza live on air. Until he deletes this – it is clear for all to see. Like an old boxer lamenting his unsuccessful life – Galloway spat “I could have been a contender” If only he had not wasted his time supporting these ungrateful people (many of these online pro-Gaza Muslims were supporting the overthrow of Socialism in Syria – just one of the many pitfalls surrounding this issue). Galloway’s anti-Black racism is legend and I cannot list it all here. Of course, probably about 20-years ago (just after he wore a tracksuit with the word “Cuba” on the front during a stint on Channel 4’s Big Brother) – his viewpoints started to alarmingly lurch to the right. What we see today is many drawn to Galloway’s left-wing past – only to find this new incarnation is (allegedly) a racist bigot admired by many on the right!
Once that “something” is resolved – the label of “Whiteness” will disappear. As a label, we all inherit certain responsibilities regarding its symbolism. Blatant or shallow “reaction” is very common – but it is not helpful. Adolf Hitler is the arch-reactionary and his disorganised intellection is no answer to the historical crimes of the capitalist ideology. In this sense, we are ALL victims in the broad sense. In the narrow sense, victims and oppressors are identified. Where should the lens of visibility focus? Even within Whiteness there are internal victims and oppressors (every girl and woman reading this will understand what is written). The middle class oppresses the working class, the rich crush the poor, and so on. Then, the White monolith imposes its collective will beyond its own geographical boundaries – upon those who are not “White”.
