DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Maverick politician George Galloway urged Western governments on Thursday to reduce tensions with the Muslim world by pressuring Israel to withdraw from Arab land in the wake of its invasion of southern Lebanon.

Galloway said Israel's 39-year occupation of swathes of Arab territory had spurred militants to attack the West.

"The poison which circulates as a result of this unresolved conflict is poisoning our own lives in the West and making our people more endangered," Galloway told a news conference at the end of a visit to Lebanon and Syria. Galloway says Israel poisoning West by Khaled Yacoub Oweis

Beakerkin, Galloway and Livingstone are worse than your worst nightmare! How the British tolerate these dangerous nutcases, beats me.

Welcome back! I do hope you are now feeling much, much better. It's great to have you back with us.

I couldn't agree with you more. Let the military get on with fighting wars. Politicians usually screw up. Afterall, they are not trained in military strategy, are they?

As you say, the Israeli war against Hizbullah certainly seems to have backfired.
