ABOUT GEORGE GALLOWAY:
Few contemporary politicians have attracted as much controversy as George Galloway. A Labour MP from 1987 to 2003, he was an outspoken critic of the policies of Tony Blair and New Labour, in particular the decision to invade Iraq. Fiery comments such as "the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders" saw Galloway expelled from the Labour Party. But Galloway returned to the political fray by founding the Respect Party and winning Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 General Election. Mr Galloway re-entered Parliament in this March as MP for Bradford West and has recently provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the rape charges against Wikileaks' Julian Assange.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford.

Do you know what a charlatan is.... Do you know the definition of thief is .. If you just believe someone is a hero for what he says, Then you are responsible for some of the problems we have in society's because of your lazy thinking... you should look at the reason someone says something... The same way you judge what someone says in a court of law. You judge the honesty of the testimony you hear depending on there interests in the outcome. Also just like in a court case. When you have a lawyer for the defence or prosecution.. they will say something that thats true . But it's a false impression of what the real issue is . Galloway rents himself out to dictatorships around the world. To focus a country's populations on something other than the government he is employed by. His C V includes Iraq Saddam Hussain IRAN president ahmadinejad Syrian president Asad Lebanons hamas Russian putin... Kicked out the British parliament because he would not disclose who is paying him money Recognise a pattern.?

I'm surprised to know that an Oxford student has such an inadequate knowledge of politics, it seems to me that he was lack of confidence when he asked the question. It could be that he wasn't really paying too much attention to politics and he got his facts from random non-credible sources, but if he does a politic student then he should really be ashamed.

It is astounding they are asking such questions. And amazingly heartening to see this response given by George Galloway showing how well engaged he is.

[@alm4655]

In my experience it is not surprising that some, probably many, from Oxford and Cambridge wilfully distort the truth and ignore history in order to spread lies about the Israel/Palestine issue. Just look at the degree to which UK government institutions and mainstream media in the UK (which are dominated where it matters by Oxford/Cambridge alumni) adopt a default position of 'support Israel at all costs and suppress any dissent'

[@jorantsegkan9000]

Engaged means nothing when they don't have any historical knowledge and instead lies to justify his antisemitic posture.

[@elauadeinsf]

The students question would work well on the majority of people, but not George Galloway, so this was very, very educational for the student and thus the debate was of great value to him.

[@alenezi989a3]

That question was so ridiculous it's insane that anyone can ask it, like good god how oblivious can someone be to believe any palastanian including Mahmoud Abbas has any power to deny anything from any Jew, the country with an army backed the entire west the country that has nuclear power the country that keeps palastanian in refugee camps and continues to build illigal settlements on top of palastanian homes, and this idiot of a student thinks that Mahmoud Abbas has any power is too stupid to be even considered.

[@goldmaple4360]

I agree with many of the statements made by George Galloway, as he makes a lot of sense and he is a good man. However, I am not sure how a single state like Israel-Palestine or Palestine-Israel would exist given the years of hatred, and distrust between Israelis and the Palestinians. In essence, I think a single state in which all groups could peacefully coexist, but it would be highly dependent on mutual trust between the parties concerned.

[@Patri_ck_Clips]

George Galloway is clearly an intelligent, and a highly articulate speaker. However, he appears more willing to prevaricate, instead of actually answering the question at hand. The student questioned him about his stance on the Israel-Palestine two-state solution since Hamas evidently lack both the credibility and will needed for such solutions.

+CIarKent gay people have been living as a minority in all countries, for all of humanities existence. And have been prosecuted for being gay.

Then the selection board at Oxford, made up of creatures from the same background, see "Eton" on the application and wave it through. The result is a peculiar breed of entitled weirdos who "know" everything but appreciate nothing.
