LOL!
Galloway, the Savior of Gaza, is denouncing me in Scottish media:
The Guardian even unearthed a Trotskyist in Egypt – the only one, surely – to pour ordure on me. I bet it wouldn’t have happened to Bono.

Galloway’s circus
From El-Badeel:
The Popular Committee for the Solidarity with Palestine activists in Arish boycotted Galloway’s convoy, accusing him of “coordination with the NDP and saving the regime’s face”, as General Shousha, the governor of N. Sinai, made arrangements with the State Security police senior staff and the local NDP officials for a “warm reception,” that included tightening security all over Arish, forcing local officials to dress in the traditional Sinai costumes (to add to the ambiance of the photo shots), ordering all schools to mobilize their pupils to stand on the two sides of the highway to “greet” the convoy.
General Shousha also stated, according to El-Badeel, that the NDP was to take care of all the “convoy’s expenditure.”
Galloway’s Moulid
While mobilizing thugs to crack down on MBs and opposition activists who still went ahead from Alexandria to receive Galloway’s convoy, the NDP organized a warm reception (described by one blogger as a moulid) at the Salloum crossing:
NDP gathered people from schools and government offices to meet the “Viva Palestina” convoy. Seems to be very similar to NDP propaganda campaign during elections .. People are summoned for a purpose and then dismissed.
MB activists tried to meet with George Galloway but were prevented from even entering Salloum by state security.
Because of the split in the opposition, even the political forces that decided to meet up with him were too late to do so.
