George Galloway: Arabs "are a lost cause"

Anti-Zionist British politician George Galloway recently said on a televised interview that "the Arabs are a lost cause" and that he's given up fighting for them and will go on to other issues.

Galloway is notorious for being one of the most openly anti-Zionist politicians in Britain, and his support for Saddam Hussein's Iraq even led to an inquiry allegedly tying him to Hussein's effort to buy off western politicians and bypass sanctions in an oil for influence scheme.

According to the Jewish Chronicle, he said that "We don't want any Israeli goods, we don't want any Israeli services, we don't want any Israeli academics coming to the university or the college, we don't even want any Israeli tourists to come to Bradford, even if any of them had thought of doing so. We reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel. And you have to do the same."

Galloway also supported Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour party, with Corbyn also being a fierce and determined opponent of the State of Israel.

Now, however, following the fall of Iraq under George W Bush and especially the rapid fall of Syria, Galloway admitted that "the Arabs are a lost cause" for the time being and that he would be focusing on other things.
