DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I have to say that this was the one result that made me happy - good riddance to the antisemitic publicity-seeking shitebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Was talking to my landlord this morning on ma way to work, Muslim fella and die hard socialist (voted TUSC on Thursday), and we were chatting about the election. He was very pleased Galloway was papped and told me about the time he met him at a Palestinian Solidarity campaign meeting not long before he got elected in Bethnal Green. A few of the guys there were based in that constituency and Gorgeous George was asking who they were voting for. Most said Labour and he accused them of being traitors to their faith. When they pointed out that they don't vote based on religion and on, y'know, policies he got very annoyed and started ranting until one of them asked him if he was Sunni or Shia and he left in the huff.In a slightly related note he's mentioned a few times that he's a bit gutted Humza Yousaf wasn't standing for a westminster seat. He's in all the "Muslim magazines" it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Back up your claim that he is anti-semetic. Not my words but these two articles pretty much sums it up: When Galloway openly calls for “the destruction of the political state of Israel”, he’s not only sanctioning the end of the only Jewish state in the world, but advocating a position which will all but certainly lead to the ethnic cleansing of millions of Jews. When Galloway expresses support for violent, antisemitic extremist movements like Hamas and Hezbollah, he’s in effect endorsing their insidious Jew hatred. When Galloway said he was “enthralled” by Gilad Atzmon’s book The Wandering Who? (described by CST as “probably the most antisemitic book published in this country in recent years.”), he was legitimizing – if not outright endorsing – Atzmon’s neo-Nazi style anti-Jewish racism. And, when Galloway walked out of a debate with an Israeli Jew, declaring “I don’t recognize Israel and I don’t debate Israelis”, as when he declared his district an “Israeli-free zone“, he was not only ostracizing and demonizing six million Jews, but sending a message to the millions of non-Israeli Jews in the world who are Zionists that they are morally beyond the pale. and Galloway was asked to debate a student, Eylon Aslan-Levy on the motion that “Israel should withdraw immediately from the West Bank.” When Galloway learned, as the debate began, that Aslan-Levy was an Israeli, he walked out of the room. Galloway is unrepentant. The Guardian notes:Never mind that Hamas is viciously antisemitic, calls for the destruction of the Israeli state, and touts the odious Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a czarist forgery touting a fictitious plan for world domination. That’s okay. It’s just another example of the double standard whereby Israelis are held to a higher standard of behavior than Palestinians. This was recognized by one student: Michael Baldwin, a third-year student at New College, noted that Galloway had once been given an honorary Palestinian passport, and said the MP would be “rightly indignant” if someone refused to debate him because of it. He added: “I would encourage Mr Galloway to reconsider his position, which is open to accusations of xenophobia.” Galloway said on his Facebook page: “I refused this evening at Oxford University to debate with an Israeli, a supporter of the apartheid state of Israel. The reason is simple: no recognition, no normalisation. Just boycott, divestment and sanctions, until the apartheid state is defeated. I never debate with Israelis nor speak to their media. If they want to speak about Palestine – the address is the PLO.” And even supporters of an Israeli boycott (the BDS) didn’t get behind Galloway’s action, with the BDS implying that it was either racism or antisemitism: 'A spokesman for the Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign moved to distance itself from Galloway’s actions, saying the movement rejected “all forms of racism, including Islamophobia and anti-Semitism”. He added: “BDS does not call for a boycott of individuals because she or he happens to be Israeli or because they express certain views. Of course, any individual is free to decide who they do and do not engage with.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 He should probably have used the term Zionist instead. He didn't though, did he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So the 'anti Zionists are anti Semites' arguement is raising its head again. Sad but not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 He'll probably start supporting independence now. He will see it as a gravy train/bandwagon to jump on and he is fast running out of those. He supports everybody else's independence why not ours too. And, in truth, probably opposed it as it would make him a 'foreigner' in the only country where he could win an election. Pure self-interest, now that's over he doesn't have many reasons to oppose it. ^shows he doesn't care who was elected outside Scotland by commenting on the Bradford west constituency vote.
