Israeli blood is more valuable than the blood of Lebanese or Palestinians

I've recently had the opportunity to view some televised interviews with Mr. George Galloway, British MP for Bethnal Green and Bow on Sky News, a Murdoch owned FOXNews-like channel in the UK. Galloway is criticised by many, but viewed as a hero by more, for his fiery leftist comments against the British and US governments for their War on Terrorism. His interviews on Sky News re-iterate his position that Hizballah is not a terrorist organization and are only brandished as one by the US and Israeli backed media, whom have tried to spread this mentality to their viewers. I had never heard of this man before, and I don't think many people here have. It is worthwile to hear him speak, as he his very articulate in his answering of any question and keeps his comments very secular, so has to avoid being drawn into a Muslim versus Jew conflict, a stance that these interviewers have made countless failed attempts to bring out in him. His interviews can be viewed on YouTube.

Galloway does make an impressive point with his rebuke on the Hizballah not being a terrorist organization. The interviewer moves on to say that Iran has backed the party and has provided rockets that can target all of Israel, not just the north or Tel Aviv. Galloway responds with a rebuke that America has supplied laser guided missiles to Israel that can target not just Lebanon or Palestine, but every country in the middle east. Nuclear missiles, he adds later. It seems that because Galloway is so well grounded and in his element with a solid response for every twisted question that the interviewer posed, it became difficult for her to make him out to be a crazed lunatic as she so often tried to do with her undying love for the Israeli's and her complete disregard for the dying Palestinians. It was definitely a loss for SkyNews here, this was not the interview they wanted. There was no discussion here as the interviewer always moved on with a new question rather than addressing any of the concerns brought up by Galloway.

Moving on to the latest in the UN troops to take over the south of Lebanon - there has been very little progress in making this a reality. The UN countries are still finding it difficult to get countries to provide soldiers for this mission. Germany isn't giving any, France is very uneasy and Italy is not stupid. Italy's foreign minister Massimo D'Alema stated that the deployment of a couple thousand Italian troops to the region depends on Israel respecting the truce (something it has already failed to do so, I might add, as it has already attacked Lebanon again in recent days with a raid that many news outlets have failed to cover). I must give credit to the Italians, it looks like they know of how Israel regards UN Resolution (a suggestion rather than a rule of law) and are keeping their troops out of any undue hardships. So salute to you Italia.

And now with Olmert saying that the Israelis will stay put in Lebanon until an international peace keeping force is deployed, we can see that Israel will not be leaving that country anytime soon, although you shouldn't have expected anything different. Israel knew that no country would want to commit itself and face the wrath of Olmert or any possible reprisal from Muslims in their respective countries. That's why the winning hand is always in the Knesset and everyone else's hand is either fold now or lose more later, something the occupied territories have been dealing with for decades.
