ABOUT GEORGE GALLOWAY:
Few contemporary politicians have attracted as much controversy as George Galloway. A Labour MP from 1987 to 2003, he was an outspoken critic of the policies of Tony Blair and New Labour, in particular the decision to invade Iraq. Fiery comments such as "the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders" saw Galloway expelled from the Labour Party. But Galloway returned to the political fray by founding the Respect Party and winning Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 General Election. Mr Galloway re-entered Parliament in this March as MP for Bradford West and has recently provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the rape charges against Wikileaks' Julian Assange.

An Israeli accusing someone of being racist. That is the joke
-
The fact that the room applauded a man who walked up just to speak something in a foreign language and then proceed just to call a person a racist with no intention to debate or even ask a question, and then drop the mic while waving a flag like he’s done a courageous thing. It is just embarrassing and blind admiration and frankly it confuses me.

His friend “Eylon” is Eylon Levy, now the current spokesman for the Israeli government and a key person responsible for propagating the current genocide in Gaza.
-
How the British government can support a country that murdered our soldiers is an absolute disgrace . Money surpasses everything even loyalty to its own people .
-
Babbling in Hebrew, a foreign language and shaking like a coward. What a great guy.
-
Anyone who clapped for that student who was defending the indefensible is beyond disgusting
-
"Yakov why are you stealing my Home?" "If I don't do it someone else will"
-
and they put their hands together for a man who walked to someone, babbled on, and walked off, saying I don't want to debate. that showed how clueless these people can be.

"If I don't steal your house, someone else is gonna steal it." - Yakub, illegal Israeli settler, 2021

Imagine an Israeli calling you a racist. That's like getting advice on childcare from Rose West
-
George Galloway, you’re brilliant and I love you for standing up justice! ❤️
-
Very well handled by Mr. George Galloway! A well thought out response to the smug Israeli student.
-
An Israeli calling someone else racist . That's like Ronnie Biggs calling John Dillinger a thief
-
"i dont debate with racists" while he holds the flag of an oppressive ethnocracy, theres an oxymoron if ever ive seen one!
-
This man is an example for his humanism and his defense of the oppressed
-
Being called a racist by an Israeli is like hearing an honest compliment
-
All the proof you need that going to Oxford or Cambridge doesn't mean you're smart. Just means you can study and do exams and tick entry requirement boxes
-
Imagine starting a conversation with a person to tell him you don't want to have a conversation with him. It's like saying hello just to say goodbye.
-
How many of those who applauded him actually understood what he was saying???? Hypocrisy Hypocrisy!!!!
-
He really thought he did something. Babbling in foreign language, waving flags around, calling people racists then left the room. He can't even stare right in everybody's eyes 😂
