"What right did Britain have to grant you (Jews) somebody else's country?"
I think Hitchens, today, wouldn't cower from this performance, but would have more to add. This was in 2005, but posted on YouTube in 2013. It wasn't until 2014 that "The Secret Casualties of Iraq’s Abandoned Chemical Weapons" by C.J. Chivers was published in the NYT, featuring Army sergeant Jarrod L. Taylor saying, “I love it when I hear, ‘Oh there weren’t any chemical weapons in Iraq.’ There were plenty.” Saddam's deceit continues to confuse the world. In hindsight, Galloway appears to be wrong, here, about Hitchens in Dundee, he misrepresented Hitchens' position on Palestine, and Galloway WAS playing, cynically, with the story of Cindy and Casey Sheehan. Oh, and anyone who would tour with Janet Fonda in 2005 (when she was on tour saying "[Cosmic energy fields are] not just NewAge hogwash. It is actually how reality works," is not only suspect, but probably uber-grateful Hitchens is dead today.
