Thank you Chuck! This was awesome.

George Galloway: "Israel has been invading and occupying Lebanon all of 
my daughter's 24 years of life [...]
It is Israel that is invading Lebanon [...]
You've just been carrying a report of 10 Israeli soldiers on the border 
getting ready to invade Lebanon, and you ask us to mourn THAT operation 
as if it were some kind of war crime. Israel is invading Lebanon and has 
killed 30 times more Lebanese civilians than have died in Israel, so it 
is you who should be justifying the evident bias which is written on 
every line on your face and is in every nuance of your voice and is 
loaded in every question that you ask."

Reporter: "[...]Hesbalah was set up back in the 1980's in order to 
remove every Israeli soldier from Lebanese soil as you said it achieved 
that in 2000."

Galloway: "No it didn't. This is a key point that you are concealing 
from your viewers. Israel was forced out of MOST of the south of Lebanon 
in 2000. It still occupies a part of Lebanon since 2000. Thousands of 
Lebanese prisoners have been kidnapped by Israel."

Reporter: "The 3 Lebanese who have been 'captured', perhaps you would 
like to use that word, have been before a judge and been to a court of law."

Galloway: "These are not the prisoners. Please have a slightly longer 
memory than 4 weeks. [...]"

Then the reporter asks about Iran giving Hesbalah weapons.

Galloway: "America has given Israel missiles that can target not just 
every city in Lebanon but every city in the Arab and Muslim world 
including Iran. Why should America be allowed to give long range 
missiles including hundred of nuclear missiles!"

Reporter: "but it has been to a terrorist organization"

Galloway: "Only in the minds of Rupert Murdoch and Sky and the Times [...]"

Reporter (Anna): "In most people's eyes Hesbalah ..."

Galloway: "In most people's eyes Israel is a terrorist state."

Reporter: [Isn't Israel being successful]

Galloway: "Hesbalah is more popular today in Lebanon amongst Christians 
amongst Sunnis amongst Shiites amongst all Arabs amongst all Muslims 
than it has ever been [...]"

Galloway: "You believe, whether you know it or not, that Israeli blood 
is more valuable than of the Lebanese or the Palestinians and the 
discerning of your viewers already know it."
