Nothing says hatred and blind bigotry than this article and clip. George Galloway is not shy about his hatred of Jews and Israel, he has expressed it hundreds of times in his career, but this is about as blatant as you could be. Watch the video and decide for yourself whether his remarks and actions constitute unabashed hatred.

GEORGE GALLOWAY IN
ANTI-ISRAEL WALK OUT
George Galloway sensationally stormed out of a debate in Christ Church tonight after discovering his opponent was an Israeli.
He was meant to be debating the motion ‘Israel should withdraw immediately from the West Bank’ with Brasenose finalist Eylon Aslan-Levy.
But when his opponent used ‘we’ in reference to Israel, the Respect MP demanded to know whether the undergrad was a citizen of the country.
After the PPEist replied in the affirmative, Galloway, claiming to have been misled by organisers, grabbed his coat and left.

“I am appalled that someone would storm out of a debate with me for no other reason than my heritage.
“To refuse to talk to someone just because of their nationality is pure racism, and totally unacceptable for a member of parliament”
Galloway has previously refused to debate with anyone connected to the country.
