Disrespecting our leaders in the name of solidarity?
Former British MP George Galloway posted an image for an upcoming "Mother of All Talk Shows" episode featuring an image of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei
shaking hands with Donald Trump — the
killer of his father, his wife, his child, his relatives, and his fellow Iranian compatriots (including 168 schoolchildren in Minab), Muslim brothers/sisters, and innocent equals in humanity.
Singing an agreement, which is merely a formality, equals normalizing with these bloodsoaked criminals? Is this what a supposed ally like George Galloway thinks?
We have differences with some of the positions Galloway has taken in the past, no one is perfect and we don't expect perfection in others. It is things like this which add to his blunders and reduce his stature in our minds. We expect basic decency.
The fact that his guest is Chris Helali also speaks volumes. We have exposed him as former US Army Intelligence who served as a volunteer mercenary for the US Pentagon-backed YPG Kurdish separatist forces in Syria from 2016-2017, having even
given an interview in a Spanish-language outlet claiming to be queer/homosexual (he probably is not queer, but lied about it to sell the Kurdish separatist cause to western liberal anarchists).
At the time, he claimed he quit the YPG because they were "too authoritarian" (in line with his then-held liberal anarchist views), but he has since changed his story and now claims he left because "he found out the US was backing them." The US was backing them since 2015, how could he not know? How could anyone put their life on the line in an armed group involved in active combat without knowing about who he is risking his life for? Also, Kurdish separatism is a Zionist cause. Mossad has been involved in the Kurdish cause for decades and the divide-and-conquer agenda, which Kurdish separatism is a large part of, was solidifed in the Oded Yinon plan of the 1980s.
Helali's chameleonic personality is nothing new. He got elected to the position of Baliff in Vermont, serving withing the US police and judicial system as an elected official. Yet, despite being part of the US government as an elected official in a state/local office, he somehow managed to "enlist" in Iraqi Hezbollah. Then he enlisted as a volunteer in the Russian armed forces. However, he has not not yet reported for duty, neither in Iraq nor in Russia, yet found the time to hop around to China and Iran, and then attempting to go to Mexico to meet with the Iranian team since he is also an independent media figure and reporter.
He also claimed to own one of Jeffrey Epstein's black books, yet did not give it to journalists and the media as a responsible person would. So many question marks around this guy.
This isn't about unreasonable suspicions — being a volunteer for a Pentagon-backed Kurdish separatist group that
actively fought against the resistance axis in Syria is a giant red flag worth being examined at the very least.
If an MoU is signed, there will be no handshaking, smiles, or normalization with the west.
As our
mawla Imam Hussain (a) said: "Never to humiliation!" (
hayhaat mina dhila)
Solidarity cannot be tone deaf or disrespectful. We hope Mr. Galloway will correct this and be more considerate and thoughtful next time.
