61. TO NO 13
sam ,   colorado   (02.21.13)
Galloway does not need any fame because he is famous enough so talked about News as you told
62. To No. 54
Bertram ,   London, UK   (02.21.13)
Another clown, like Galloway.
63. To: No. 51
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.21.13)
The organizer of the debate was identified in the article as Mahmood Naji. Not Jewish. As you are want to do, you are grasping at straws.
64. Galloway
patricia starr ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.21.13)
What a pig! and a typical Hamas lover - you know those guys who hide behind women and children and send rockets - he is afraid of an Israeli student - of course he knows how inept he will be
65. Hypocrite
Aharon   (02.21.13)
People like Galloway claim Israel singles out a group of people (the Arabs) and denies them basic human rights, which is completely false. However, he does the very thing by refusing to debate Israelis and encouraging boycotts against Israel. Israelis can also not recognize the "palestinians," no normalization, just Boycott, divestment, and sanctions, until the Fantasy state is defeated. However, Israelis know better and that such actions won't lead to a long-lasting solution. If we could only convince Jordan to take in the "palestinians" then most of the problem would be solved.
66. Galloway-
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (02.21.13)
This suprises me, as Mr Galloway has great skill in debating issues in front of the masses. Perhaps that is where he earned his reputation for being among the world's greatest Mass Debaters?
67. "GORGEOUS"(sic) GEORGE does a good job for ISRAEL
Andre ,   Clichy, France   (02.21.13)
"GORGEOUS"(sic) GEORGE does a good job for ISRAEL and the Jews. Being elected by Pakistani voters who themselves are loathed in Britain, especially after 7/7/2005, whatever he supports is sure to trigger contempt amongst the British. He has supported Iraq, married an Arab palestinian, now supports Iran...all enemies of Britain and the Western world. So great, let him carry on !...
68. He may be an MP.....
Mark ,   London, UK   (02.21.13)
but that is the only platform I would allow him. I would boycott anything and everything he's involved with.
69. Re: My post at No. 63
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.21.13)
Second paragraph should, of course, read "As you are wont to do ...." Some people just bring out the worst in me.

where is your evidence???? actually, this debate was arranged by an arab muslim student in oxford. i bet that at least the majority of the crows was not israeli firsters, but muslim students as well. note that this arab muslim student, a gentleman, criticised galloway's behavior to the core. but then again, can you provide the statistics of the crowd? howm any jews? how many christians? how many muslims? how many israeli firsters, you antisemite!
71. Cool off, you hypocrites!
Tom W ,   USA   (02.21.13)
Your hysterical rants about a known foreign antisemite scum in a faraway land seems disingenuous. The worst poisonous vomit is performed in Israel by Haaretz and its contributors. Yet nobody ever objected it, MK Zoabi is protected even when she physically attacked the State. There is a transparent stench of cowardice that wafting in the air: Jewish kapo wannabe-s are treated with kid-gloves; - but trashing this scumbag is safe, popular and Pol.Corr. For the bigmouth cowards.
72. British MP got scared to debate Israeli college student!
Alex ,   US   (02.21.13)
Shame on British that elected this racist to parliament.
73. 51
(02.21.13)
do you have a brain or are you, as usual, asleep at the intelligence and reading comprehension wheel???? read the article again. it is specified that the organize was an arab muslim. his name is mentioned. and not only mentioned, but this muslim's reaction to galloway's behavior is extremely critical and negative. this muslim admonished galloway's despicable behavior. he was scared, galloway, that is. he knew that there is no way he can win a debate against a jewish israeli mind because he knew he is inferior.
74. Galloway's perspective Illuminating
Lolek ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.21.13)
If anyone supports Galloway's position, they must be of the view that there should be no peace process because they are negating the partner with whom peace is to be attained.
75. galloway is a rasist
Y ,   N   (02.22.13)
76. He should stick to debating with...
Abe Isaacson   (02.22.13)
... his chum, Saddam Hussein. I wonder who elects the idiot.
77. Good lesson to Abbas

if you lived in israel, you will surely notice and read many many many criticism of haaretz and the israeli leftists by israelis themselves. actually, no israeli takes them seriously and as a result after years of oslo debacles, the left in israel is next to nothing. very marginalized. and they know it. israel, is a center right population and so it should be.
79. Who is fanatical
Lenya ,   Australia   (02.22.13)
You and Galloway have a fixation on Israel and the Jews while thousands Muslims and minorities are dying around you in the Muslim world..When you call the civilised side in the debate the fanatic it just shows how stupid you are. And yes the "Palestinians are an invented people...and Yes the Marmara incident was self-defense...Ahh whats the use your eyes have scales on them and you are wasting my time.
80. Feras, yours is an ugly stance which
Take a mirror !   (02.22.13)
does nothing but contributes to the destruction of peace and the enhancement of hatred and killing throughout the entire world.
81. #24 - how can you tell?
William ,   Israel   (02.22.13)
Did they all look Jewish? Did they all look Israeli? The host of the event was a Muslim, which also indicates the rest of the room was of mixed diversity. The article states the audience reaction - some boo'd Galloway, some called him "human". I must say - with all of your jumping to conclusions, you must be very physically fit. Perhaps you should create a video to compete with the PX90 program.
82. 36, Daniel, a big thank you !
Israel Forever !   (02.22.13)
83. To 54. In 10 years time you will have no white people in SA
Neil   (02.22.13)
and 'idols' like your Olympic heros will continue to be prosecuted in court by a guy who is also wanted for 7 charges. Just saying.
84. #66 - HAH!
William ,   Israel   (02.22.13)
85. taste of your own medicine
world observer ,   thousand oaks, CA   (02.22.13)
So it is ok to be racist to Palestinians but you don't like it when you receive it? At least be Equal opportunity :)
86. When someone knows they are wrong they behave like this!!
Brett Levitas ,   JHB RSA   (02.22.13)
He has no case to put forward and instead of embarresing himself by losing the argument he leaves with his tail between his legs!
87. George Galloway simply lost a debate
john   (02.22.13)
to a young Israeli student by running away like a scared pussy cat that he is.
88. 76
(02.22.13)
the brits and a large islamic constituency, who else?
89. #40 & #59
ltrail ,   United States   (02.22.13)
I, too, side with Daniel.#36. There really need to be repercussions against a British MP stating such anti-Jewish bias since he represents the UK. If the UK condones his rhectoric; shame on the Government of the UK.
90. Yes we can blame him....
Lenya ,   Australia   (02.22.13)
But you will not because you wear the same shoes...bigots, racists, Female haters, Anarchists, lovers of Terrorists, etc, etc
