George Galloway swims, as ever, in murky waters. At least – some consolation – he's not at all happy with the latest developments in Syria. “October 7 now looks like a very bad idea, and it makes you wonder whose idea it was anyway.” Hmm.
From MEMRI TV:
Iranian Professor Mohammad Marandi, who teaches English at Tehran University, told former British MP George Galloway in a December 8, 2024 interview following the collapse of the Bashar Al-Assad regime that “Netanyahu has succeeded in raising the black flag of ISIS and Al-Qaeda in Damascus.” He lamented that after “what Erdoğan has done” he can no longer say that Israel has been defeated. Galloway replied that in fact, the collapse of the Assad regime is an Israeli victory and echoing a post on X he had written earlier that day, he said: “October 7 now looks like a very bad idea, and it makes you wonder whose idea it was anyway.” Marandi discussed Iranian regional influence saying that while Erdoğan was not serious about the Palestinian cause and did not give Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank a single bullet, Iran supplied weapons to the West Bank. He further said that Iran had sent troops and advisors to Damascus in order to ward off the opposition, but President Bashar Al-Assad and the Syrian army refused to fight them.
Not necessarily an Israeli victory, but certainly an Iranian defeat. Poor George.
Oh lord, that hat….
