Which I responded with this:
The rockets almost stopped, and Israel almost opened the crossings. Where's the problem?

Thanks for showing decisively just how twisted the "rocket" claims were. It shows clearly just who did not hold up their end of the ceasefire.
Stop the ban on George Galloway! Defend free speech!
Defend free speech. Let George Galloway into Canada.
Stop Jason Kenney’s attack on civil liberties.
By now you will have heard that Jason Kenney, Canada's Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, has banned British MP George Galloway from entering Canada. Galloway is scheduled to speak in four cities during a pan-Canadian speaking tour from March 30 to April 2.
Kenney's decision to ban Galloway is an unprecedented attack on free speech and on the right to criticize our own government's foreign policy. Kenney's office has publicly stated that Galloway will be banned because of his views on the war in Afghanistan and because he represents a "threat to national security".
The ban follows Kenney's recent attacks on Canadian Arab and Muslim organizations and on Palestine solidarity campaigners for their criticism of Israel's war on Gaza and its treatment of Palestinians. In the last few days, Kenney unilaterally cut funding to the Canadian Arab Federation for its immigrant settlement program. Kenney also recently attacked students organizing Israeli Apartheid Week on campuses across Canada.
Kenney has attempted to silence their voices by accusing them of anti-Semitism, despite the wide range of support and participation of Jewish organizations and individuals in these Palestine solidarity events.
The organizers of Galloway's speaking tour – the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War, the Ottawa Peace Assembly, and Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights – condemn in the strongest terms Kenney's attack on free speech and our right to criticize our government's foreign policy. We call on all supporters of civil liberties to join us in challenging these attacks and in reversing Kenney's ban.
In the next few days, we will launch a pan-Canadian campaign to defend free speech in Canada and to reverse Kenney's ban. We call on you to join in this campaign to ensure Galloway's entry into Canada. We must organize now to ensure that all events where Galloway is scheduled to speak will proceed as planned.
Toronto Coalition to Stop the War
Why do you insist on making this about something it isn't?Galloway has his soapbox. I'm curoius to see where he will take this. I'm sure we will hear more from Galloway. I've been busy contacting people and putting the word out. If you care about our right to Free Speech, pass the information on....
If you care about our right to Free Speech, pass the information on....
Thanx for proving my point you can not read or understand English...the word is...ineligible...CDNBear
The man is not ineligible to enter Canada because of his opinion.
Ya, that's my point.
He is unable to enter Canada because he has financial ties to Hamas. A known terrorist group. He has condoned and supported acts of violence against Israel civilians.
- not eligible; "ineligible to vote"; "ineligible for retirement benefits"
- prohibited by official rules; "an ineligible pass receiver"

You wouldn't know a fact if it hit you in the head. You can not even read English.Sounds like you'd better put on your tin hat to protect yourself from all these "leftist" organizations:lol::lol:
Just the Facts
Rhetoric or not, imbecilic at best.Not at all. Sorry to hear about your family. I'll bet that, had they been able, they would have done everything in their power to resist or help others to resist. Perhaps they should be demanding their "right of return"? Oh yea, I'll bet they are not semi prisoners in refugee camps being told by their occupiers..."why can't you just be a good nigga and follow our rules?".
Note to moderator....overstated rhetoric only to make a point
The man has bragged about it openly. I'm trying to sift through the mindless chatter of the fringe masses to find the actual quote. But rest assured. It exists, he hasn't denied it anything he's spewed in regards to Canada as of yet.Cannuck
It's the fact that he has financially supported terrorists and thus committed a criminal act according to Canadian law.
Care to show us just how he has "financially supported terrorists"?
I love it when people so void of an answer, ask a question instead.:roll:You obviously believe strongly that people should be able to donate to any and all terror groups in Canada. Why? Do you?
And you're evidence for this is?
You mean you're arguing this and have no idea what the facts are?CDNBear
He's on record stating the Hamas accredited suicide bombings of Israeli civilians is "military heroism".
Care to post an exact quote here so we can judge for ourselves whether or not you are quoting him out of context?
That is hate speech as defined by Canadian, US and UN legalese.
Firstly, we'd have to have the exact quote to make a decision. I've got news for you.
The US has virtually total free speech. IOW, even "hate" speech is allowed.
In Canada, I believe hate speech is defined as promoting genocide against a particular group (clearly Galloway is not doing this).
As for the UN, perhaps you can look this up for us to more clearly state their "law"?
So again, show us clearly just what Galloway said and show us clearly the laws that he is said to have broken. We are waiting.........zzzzzzz
Spoken like someone who knows nothing of which upon they converse.The man has bragged about it openly. I'n trying to sift through the mindless chatter of the fringe masses to find the actual quote. But rest assured. It exists, he hasn't denied it anything he's spewed in regards to Canada as of yet.
I'm a patient man. I can wait.......
You obviously believe strongly that people should be able to donate to any and all terror groups in Canada. Why? Do you?
And you're evidence for this is?
I love it when people so void of an answer, ask a question instead.
Ask a stupid question.....get a stupid answer
Care to show us just how he has "financially supported terrorists"?
And you're evidence for this is?
If you can show me what difference it would make I'd be glad to. Mind you, I've spent enough time on forums with the likes of you and EAO to know it won't make a difference.
This thread. Try and keep up. It's was a rather simple question and playing twister in some foolish attempt to sidestep it does nothing to help your cause.
Not as ridiculous as you and yours...You mean you're arguing this and have no idea what the facts are?
You've made some ridiculous claims without any evidence whatever to back them up. If I claim I have elves in my garden, is it up to you to prove I don't?:lol::lol::lol:
That's enough proof for me.TORONTO — Canada has banned an outspoken anti-war British lawmaker from the country on [COLOR=#038258 ! important][COLOR=#038258 ! important]national [COLOR=#038258 ! important]security[/color][/color][/color] grounds, officials said Friday.
George Galloway is well known in Britain for his opposition to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. He was due to give a speech in Toronto on March 30.
A spokesman for Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Canadian border officials made the decision because Galloway constitutes a national security threat.
The government will not overturn the decision for someone "who only recently bragged about providing financial support for Hamas, which is a banned terrorist organization in Canada," Alykhan Velshi said.
So the accusers of Galloway would rather quit than try to prove that their allegations have any merit whatever? Are you used to having claims like this go unchallenged?
The accusations, which, incidentally, are the whole reason for this thread.
You mean you're arguing this and have no idea what the facts are?
