They support indiscriminate killing of Israeli's and in fact, have their own death squads who summarily execute those they deem "enemies" in their own territory.<BR/><BR/>Galloway is an avowed supporter of Hamas and it was widely suggested and not refuted that he would seek to obtain support for Hamas while in Canada.<BR/><BR/>So - in other words.. the fact that the JDL didn't want a terrorist supporter in our Country, doesn't mean, we should have allowed him in. It may mean that we need to be more vigilent in how we view pro-JDL individuals and organizations and the JDL, obviously itself. <BR/><BR/>My understanding is that it is generally accepted that the JDL is no longer involved in terrorist acivitity, but that it is a strong supporter of Kahane Chai - which is a terrorist group.<BR/><BR/>So - I think if we are being consistent - we would say, "Galloway shouldn't be allowed, and neither should the JDL or anyone supporting or seeking funding for Kahane Chai".<BR/><BR/>The point is one terrorist isn't any better than another - and hiding behind the "reasons" for that terrorism - whether it's oppression by Israel or fighting against anti-Semites.. is just putting window dressing on a whore-house. It's still what it is.Robert G.

I saw that interview with the JDL guy and Galloway, and wondered at his frankly threatening language. <BR/><BR/>But I hadn't made the connection between his organization and the terrorist one.

I voted for returning the blogger. <BR/><BR/>How Liberal is it to emulate the grip of the Conservative Party of Canada? Is Democracy about being another bobbing head in our House of Commons?<BR/><BR/>My thoughts only represent one of the hardily sought after swing vote come election time.
