Shocking moment George Galloway storms out of Oxford University discussion

[cancel2 2022]

I used to have a lot of time for Gorgeous George especially when he faced that Senate committee and made them all look like fools but this is just plain disgusting.

Controversial Left-wing MP George Galloway shocked an Oxford University audience by refusing to debate with an opponent because he was Israeli.
To cries of ‘racism’, Mr Galloway picked up his coat and stormed out of the hall.

The Respect MP had been booked to appear in the debate at Christ Church college and had spoken for ten minutes in favour of the motion that ‘Israel should withdraw immediately from the West Bank’.

Debate organiser Mahmood Naji told Oxford student newspaper Cherwell: ‘At no point during my email exchange with Mr Galloway’s secretary was Eylon’s nationality ever brought up or mentioned.

‘Nor do I expect to have to tell the speaker what his opponent’s nationality is.’ Mr Galloway later updated his Facebook page to say: ‘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.’ Mr Galloway, who famously met Saddam Hussein in 2007, was expelled from the Labour Party in 2003 for calling Tony Blair a liar. Last year he won a by-election in Bradford West, taking the seat from Labour.
