00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,439
I'm George Galloway Member of Parliament

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,160
anti-war leader and presenter of press

3
00:00:07,439 --> 00:00:11,880
TV's comment every week at this time I

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,000
answer the best question that has been

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:19,640
sent to us at hash ask Galloway tonight

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,240
we've chosen abas mad's question which

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:25,599
is this what are your views on the

8
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:29,039
recent Israeli air strike against Syria

9
00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:32,000
which killed six Hezbollah Fighters and

10
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:34,040
a general in the Iranian revolutionary

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,160
guard well the first thing that has to

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,239
be said is is that it's a very

13
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,559
significant escalation indeed and it's

14
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:45,600
one pregnant with real consequences for

15
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:48,000
the region and for the world Israel

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,480
first refused to say that it had carried

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,039
out the air strike then it implied off

18
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:55,520
the Record that it had been a lucky air

19
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:57,840
strike they had no idea who was in the

20
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,559
Convoy that they struck but if you

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,320
believe that you'll believe anything it

22
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:06,840
was a very high value set of targets not

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:11,360
just an Iranian General but the son of

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:15,600
Imad Mia the hero of Hezbollah Jihad

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:19,000
muga joining other Martyrs killed in the

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:22,759
strike and there will be an answer and

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,360
the Lebanese resistance hasah I'm sure

28
00:01:22,759 --> 00:01:28,840
will provide that answer the Earth will

29
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,040
shake as a result of their answer Israel

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,920
will presumably retaliate again and we

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,840
could be in for a very significant

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:41,079
escalation even the outbreak of full

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:44,880
scale War again just like 2006 on the

34
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:47,119
Lebanon Israel Frontier and across it

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,640
both ways because of course the

36
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:52,360
resistance has the means to strike

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Israel just as much as Israel has the

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:57,520
means to strike the resistance so it

39
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,960
couldn't be very much more serious and

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,759
I'm grateful to abas for giving me the

41
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:08,880
the opportunity to briefly dilate upon

42
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:08,880
it remember every week # as Galloway
