91. All you need to do is Google Galloway on Yutube
Edithann ,   USA   (02.22.13)
and see how he does it....so quick and steely you'll hardly feel the pain... No need to read these Ynet idiot comments...when reality Yutube is so much more fun... Do you really think and Israel can hold a candle to a master like Galloway? . TATA
92. Galloway is one misled person...
SoaringDove ,   USA   (02.22.13)
Here Mr.G. shows the world his deeply racist character...and then goes into Facebook to tell his FB audience his racist thoughts...but wasn't Facebook created by a Jew? Why on this green earth is this racist "pig" using a an Israeli invention? What a piece of work!
93. Galloway knew he was Israeli
Harvey ,   London   (02.22.13)
Don't believe for a moment that Galloway was unaware of the nationality of his opponent . He would have researched meticulously beforehand . This was a premeditated strategy which was also used recently by a code pink harridan in a debate with a pro Israel activist on a US news programme . The idea is to speak first , put your point across and then walk out without giving your opponent the right of reply . In Galloways case , it goes a step further . It was a means to render the young Jewish student a non person . A despicable individual not worthy of a response and more worryingly so abhorrent ( in Galloways eyes ) that he could not bear to be in the same room . This was the same methodology of the Nazis in the 1930s who first negated all aspects of Jewish influence and participation in day to day life . This was a precursor to the Final Solution . Galloway is a racist and antisemite - the only Jews he acknowledges are the NKarta or ' good Jews ' . But no matter . Jew hating swine such as Galloway come and go like the weeds in a field . Israel and the Jewish people will be around long after he is gone and merely an insignificant footnote in history . Am Yisrael Chai
94. To: Abe at No. 76
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.22.13)
Bigger idiots, that's who. No shortage of those in the U.K.
95. #18 - any wrongs that Israelis have done...
William ,   Israel   (02.22.13)
are always taken out of context with the Arab crimes causing the mess in the first place ignored. One cannot truly reach justice if one is unwilling to look at the entire picture with all facts as they are, and George Galloway (and yourself) simply are not capable of this. Israelis are very self-reflective people and admit their wrongs, with a chance to fix them. However, Israeli guilt does not absolve Arab crimes, especially ones of war crimes, ethnic cleansing, attempted genocide, use of human shields, corruption, breaking intl law, etc. - and this has been going on for 93 years now. Your ilk cry about a house built on a hilltop for a Jew but claim a night-time slaughter of a family by "Palestinians" was self-defense. The point is - you believe Israelis are the devil, foreigners to the land where you declare they have no historical or religous ties, and there's no point in arguing
96. Stay out of the Cal sun #60 you are frying your brain
Dina ,   USA   (02.22.13)
Such nonsense. 60 is ignorant. He probably never visited the Holy Land and he knows better than the Israelis who live in a tiny country surrounded by huge Arab countries who use Israel as a scapegoat to rip off their citizens. Go to Israel Donnie you will visit the truth not a pack of lies as you sadly spew out here today.
97. #44 - thought that title went to Germany and Holland
William ,   Israel   (02.22.13)
98. #51- it's all in the article, no need to use conjecture
William ,   Israel   (02.22.13)
I know you're in a habit of making up facts when the real ones are to your disliking, but in this case it's all pretty obvious and you make yourself look like an ass.
99. #55 - no one committed ethnic cleansing and you know it
William ,   Israel   (02.22.13)
It's easy to see from 2.2 million Arabs of Israeli citizenship and a "Palestinian" population that's only been growing rapidly since 1967. You're a wanker who doesn't seem to like inconvenient facts and need to create your own to fill in your agenda holes. Seeing how you're from the UK, I can see the great future for that country of which people like Daniel in London are marginalized by their own violent immigrants.
100. This is the Future
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (02.22.13)
Keep your head up high, Israel. If you look for the most psychotic Jew-hater, you will get a glimpse of the future. The world is becoming more degenerate and these dogs will be their new leaders. No one believed that normal people would ever suggest Hamas and Hizballoh are legitimate, but they do now.
101. "ISRAEL" is history's most recognized name :)
BUTSeriousy ,   Sydney   (02.22.13)
102. British mp
Edouard ,   Canada   (02.22.13)
His Jewish girl friend probably dumped him when he was young Or she sheathed on him with a Jew Something of that kind Once thing for sure he is an antisemitic guy and he is dangerous
103. Israel Apartheid
ltrail ,   United States   (02.22.13)
Shame on You, British MP, George Galloway. Your mother should spank you for your racial/anti-Jew attitude. If you speak of Apartheid, what about the stance of the muslim neighbors of the State of Israel. You really have a problem, Sir.
104. take care of
A Base ,   France Paris   (02.22.13)
It is time for the Mossad not only to take care of arabic and iranian terrorists but also pigs in europe like galloway. this guys are pretty much dangerous as terrorist. Put a little bit Polonium in his food !
105. What is he, an 8-year old? End.
John   (02.22.13)
106. and if he had said
frank ,   rehovot   (02.22.13)
I don't debate with niggers because they are inferior, lazy, stupid and thieves! How exactly would the world have reacted??? but jews, not a problem because the english gov't as well as most of the world support jew-baiting....now exactly way is that? because of this supposed pal question? I don't think so, as was that the reason in the 1930s, what about the programs in Russia, inquisition???? just another excuse to destroy us but for what reason? Why do they hate us? They know we don't own the media, they know we don't own the backs, so why? Because for over 2000 years the church has been condemning and persecuting us and the world is always looking to blame someone and we are the easy ones...well maybe not so easy anymore!
107. Galloway, I thought you didn't want us
Israel Forever !   (02.22.13)
in England. Now, you don't want us in Israel. Come now, make up your mind for you can't have both.
108. Galloway like Lord Haw Haw of PLO
(02.22.13)
Galloway prepared to talk to Sadaam Hussein and Muamar Gaddaffi buthchers who received retrbiution from their own Arab people, yet he wont speak to a mere Israeli 3rd year student. He doesn't deserve to be a member of parliament or represent anybody. The man shows anything but respect which ironically some might say is what he calls his political party.
109. Boycotting Israel is not racist at all
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (02.22.13)
Galloway refuses to recognize the apartheid state of Israel as a matter of principle. There is nothing racist about this. He clearly states that there can be no normalisation under the current circumstances. He boycots Israel in all its aspects. He did not ask Aslan-Levi: "Are you Jewish?" Galloway simply does not recognize the State of Israel, because it is an oppressive state, which carries out ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. He takes a radical, but principled position. George knows the internal workings of the State of Israel and how the apartheid system operates, even within Israel, better than anybody. He is one of the best debaters around on the Palestine issue. Aslan-Levi had a lucky escape. I am opposed to political Zionism in principle, and I do support the BDS movement. I am willing however to debate Israelis and I take part with Israelis in joint actions, like in Bil'in. Galloway doesn't want to have anything to do with Israel or Israelis. That is his right and I repeat: there is nothing racist or anti-semitic about it. It is a political position.
110. To No. 58
Bertram ,   London, UK   (02.22.13)
"... in the end the crimes the British did to humanity no other nation did...". An insult to Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin and Mao, surely.
111. #3 Jacob; Galloway debated with a Senator committee in 2005
A Bethlehemite   (02.22.13)
without knowing if he'll be able to defend or lose the accusations confronted him. So he's no coward not as you say 'must not like to lose debates'. There has to be more to the story. The guy was very confident and represented himself very with at the Senator committee in 2005. Whether you people think he's Anti-Semitic or not, they guy always backs his claims with facts.
112. #26 & #76 -Electors
Get Real ,   UK   (02.22.13)
Google-Bradford West Nearly half population muslim Google-Galloway's policies say no more
113. #78. nameless: the facts are not like that
Tom W ,   USA   (02.22.13)
Israelis may be don't take "seriously" Haretz and its acolyte ...may be...I am not sure... But the Haaretz people are the most referenced news-source in the world. Their incessant aspersion and defamation of Israel are quoted in the Western press and legitimizing the worst antisemitic drive ever. The damage done by the Left is far more pernicious than a British nobody's conniption.
114. Here's the thing you....
Feras   (02.22.13)
Galloway knows what Britain did, he acknowledges it, and he does NOT support it, in fact he debates about Britain and what kind of GODLY right it had to give the jewish people the land of palestine as an israeli state. so cool off on that subject. which unlike you, you defend your mistakes with blind eyes. who's the real hypocrite now?
115. Read
Was a Brit ,   T.Aviv   (02.22.13)
Read about this goon's (lack of) morals in the British press. I would be offended to have this unsavory character supporting us. We would be tainted by the smell of his behaviour.
116. How is Haaretz any different?
Miron ,   USA   (02.22.13)
Unlike Galloway, who peacefully hates, these guys lovingly murdered Israelis with different political opinion, in case of Mr. Galloway he would have to shoot his opponent dead to get on even keel with Amira Hass and Gideon Levy.
117. #113 tom
solomon ,   bklyn   (02.22.13)
The "most referenced news source in the WORLD"?! What planet do you live on? And how can we take your posts seriously if you exaggerate beyond belief just to make your point?
118. At the end
Ralph ,   Caesarea   (02.22.13)
the Brittons will pay an heavy price for mandate on Palestine.
119. Galloway can never be a leader!
Izzman ,   USA   (02.22.13)
A lawmaker in the British Parliment who walks out on a debat with a student because of the students Nationality. Is a true looser and showed a terrible example on front of Students.. I hope his actions become known, as this Galloway is a hater and racest. In my opinion this Galloway should not lead even a heard of cows.. He is an anti semit that has his own views.. He is unwilling to be challenged in a debat with a student. Because he knows he would loose.. Galloway is upset Israel won a war after it was attacked by 3 cointies and won the war.. He is not willing to recognize Israel. Israel is a strong and mighty nation. Izzy
120. Galloway.
Michael ,   Melbourne,Australia   (02.22.13)
How does this antisemitic fool explain the fact that in all Arab countries the penalty for selling land to a Jew is DEATH. So much for his attack on Israel calling IT racist!
