Anti-Zionist UK Parliamentarian George Galloway Eviscerated by Audience on BBC Panel Show (VIDEO)

George Galloway, the British parliamentarian infamous for his unflinching support of terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, was the recipient of a feisty response from Jewish members of the audience during a BBC panel discussion on rising antisemitism in the UK....

...Galloway was unrepentant nevertheless. After chiding the program’s host for not selecting a “balanced” audience – another way of saying there were too many Jews who disagreed with him present – Galloway launched into a fierce condemnation of Israel. As he accused Israel of carrying out “mass murder” during the summer 2014 war in Gaza, audience members heckled and booed. One member interjected that Galloway had branded the city of Bradford, which he represents in parliament, “an Israel-free zone.”

“In doing that, you directed your comments to the British Jewish community,” she declared. “You put the British Jewish community on the front line at a very volatile time.”
