"George Galloway, the British MP leading the Viva Palestina international aid convoy to the Gaza Strip, has been declared 'person non grata' by the Egyptian government and deported from the country.
"The politician was picked up by Egyptian officials at the Rafah border crossing on Friday [8 January] and driven to Cairo, the capital, where he was placed on a flight back to London.
"On arriving at Heathrow airport, in the UK capital, Galloway said: 'It's always been a badge of honour to be deported by a tin-pot dictator and that's what happened this morning.
"Having crossed the border from Gaza into Egypt ... my friend and I were bundled into a car, 25 officers, accepting no dissuasion, drove us straight to the airport, basically forced us onto the plane.'"
Deportation from Egypt: the last recourse of the dishonourable Pharaoh and his cowardly, mindless underlings, men without honour, dignity or self-respect, amoral thugs with neither principle nor morality.
George Galloway has more honour, courage and dignity than the entire Egyptian state. I would go further: he is more of a man than 10 million Egyptian men: wretched, docile, self-serving, materialistic creatures who would give what's left of their souls to the devil for half a cent.
A say this as an Arab nationalist – an Arab who is proud that humanity still has men of principle like George Galloway. An Arab who is deeply ashamed of Egypt and Egyptians.
My fellow Egyptians: for how long will you use poverty as an excuse for your lack of honour, dignity and self-respect? You go out rioting in the streets like mindless reptiles over a football match with your Algerian brothers but you would not lift a finger in defence of your beleaguered brothers and sisters in the Gaza Strip.
You have sold yourselves in return for the US Zionist lobby's annual subsidy. Would you sell your wives, mothers and sisters for the sake of the next meal, courtesy of the Israel-lobby-controlled US Congress?
