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.

"Do you just applaud anything?" - A message to the new academic elite.
if words were bullets, that ignorant schoolboy would be six feet deep right now.
Oh man the greatest laugh of all time is if one guy applauded when he said that.
@naser said it's called cancel culture, look it up sometime... and it stands against the freedoms that many have fought for, for us. It says, because you don't agree with what "we" say you will be persecuted for your opinion, that is fascism. Now I will ask you, do you just make responses without adding anything to the argument, or is your specialty purely criticizing and making assumptions that others are blind when you will not see?

No, he's spent a lifetime jumping on every conflict he can because he is a grifter... he never "solves" any conflicts, but he certainly makes them worse.

Upper class children for you
Oxford Grad: aRe yOO rAciSt?!
Galloway: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
Howd you get so racist though even?
I'm not sure if you listened to his speech at all. He basically said he wouldn't debate with a supporter of Apartheid. That's not saying anything at all. This whole racist/not racist BS doesn't answer anything. Refusing to debate a supporter of Apartheid is intellectual dishonesty and laziness. If you believe in your own moral judgement, go out and debate.
@@MikhailKalashnikovMiG So lets put the question on you then - would you debate your worst enemy?
Vlad uhh yes? why not? Why would I not want to prove my case?
Refusing to debate someone because, to quote George Galloway HIMSELF, "I don't debate Israelis", is absolutely racism.
To think this speech was 10 years ago... I don't care what else detractors might have said about Galloway, he has established his consistency, prophetic vision, vast knowledge, great oratory skill, and extraordinary courage, that he deserves great respect and gratitude for all who seeks truth and justice. An honest person is consistent, through long period of time, and across spectrums.
He should have received a standing ovation for this incredible speech.

He sounds genuine in his values regarding anti-apartheid, irrespective of where it happens or against whom it or what form it occurs, and I would applaud to this.
Israel was built on colonial ideals. Britain, France and USA felt that the holocaust should not have happened on their watch. They decided to correct the matter by building Israel on top of Palestine due to the fact that they did not consider the Palestinians to be real people.
Those young people got schooled, and you can bet they found their hearts changed and their thinking changed solidly for the better of mankind. Gallloway is a gift to the world.
It’s the extreme brainwashing. They need hard deprograming
To be an Oxford student and this is the best question you could come up with. just amazing
Sadly, this isn’t necessarily a contradiction in terms!
@@antiparticle1765 As a person from an expensive university, most people actually just use their money to basically repeat their subjects long enough till they eventually pass. Plus when I graduated and was exposed to the workforce, what I found was that its those who actually come from universities where you barely paid anything that worked the hardest. Because people from rich universities are lazy and rich while those who came from the ones that were cheap or basically free, were the ones who worked the hardest because they're the ones with the most drive to break free from their poverty.
@@antiparticle1765 In short what I learned is that whether you come from a prestigious expensive university or one that's barely known and basically free. In the end it's the person that defines their value not the university they come from.
@@TruthorfibOxford is not an “expensive” university? It fees are the same as every other university in Britain. Elitist, perhaps. But not expensive.

@@Sco10 any tips for how to practice this and get better at it?
@@Sco10 Saying anything with conviction and proper though simple grammar along with unnecessary volume may make for a spectacle for the easily entertained but it is a mistake to think that that makes him articulate. He sounds like an angry man, a decent rhetorician he might be, but to a trained ear he values emotion over substance and depth. The transcript of his monologues don't hold the weight or impact of his acting. He's a fine actor of an angry man that says pseudo-profound things but if you look into his career, he's at best a master spinster, hoodwinker, and charlatan, and narcissist of the worst kind. Perhaps you haven't seen his debate with Christopher Hitchens? If not, please do.
"What kind of people are you?" The answer he got and location of the presentation says it all.
Love how he stood his ground and then responded as well
'Stood his ground?'
He barely needed to break a sweat. If this is what a privileged education gets you.

Whoever calls George anti-semitic has never listened to what he actually says.

Oh they listen and they understand, they just play dumb.
now south africa is falling apart, george galloway is a clown. anti semetism is fake and gay too
Those who label someone like George Galloway as "anti-Semitic" are those who who would have it that being anti-Zionist is the same as being anti-Jewish. Zionists don't want the world seeing them as anything but Jewish. They are appropriating the identity of true historic Jews and re-inventing themselves as a white Jewish "race". George knows the difference between a Jew and a Zionist.
O'Durden I could not understand your comment or why Africa was mentioned in this thread, are you denouncing anti-semitism? Or denying it?
If these kids are Oxford students, then, wooow. The Oxford is no longer a place for brighest to shine even brighter.
My thoughts exactly
You dont say...i mean look at the current state of "universities" today ... and this was 2013
It never was, it never will be. Universities are just propaganda machines for liberalism.
I was a student there and I agree. Not all of them of course, but by and large they're a bunch of smug, whiny little turds who will undoubtably be the next rulers of Britain. I hate Oxford University.
It's the same way in the US. These old academic institutions don't carry the same weight that they used to. I went to an ivy league and the classes now are a joke. Getting in is the only difficult part. Beyond that, it's just a bunch of delusional kids parroting their own awful ideologies.
Sometimes I love stupid questions because it opens the door for brilliant answers.
I always enjoy listening to George Galloway, what an excellent speaker.
Gosh! Oxford students' level of global affairs knowledge is falling into the toilet!

These "Students" have had private education from elitist intuitions which have little to no diversity in terms of any economic background meaning that they have very close minds and any real life experience of the outside world due to being surrounded by daddy's money and being privelaged to the point in getting whatever they want. Not because of Political Correctness or some other crap that Alt Righters always use in every argument.
Thats what happens when they start choosing by diversity over actual ability
@@velox5598 god I agree so much. Just their accents and general snobbery shows how sheltered their upbringing has been
@doritos91381 none No , that's the Star Trek/Mr Spock definition of logic. A common misconception. Logic is not "sense". It often appears to be quite the reverse. It's actually a discipline in its own right , with clear rules and a system of notation. Check it out. It's a fascinating field , but it's not common sense or even neccessarily critical thinking.
When I was there in the 1980s they still supported apartheid

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it.

They would just be scoffing and rolling their eyes. These people are too convinced of their righteousness. Real life isn't a Hollywood movie.

After having discovered George Galloway I became an instant fan of his dedication to true justice, and asking him whether he is racist is the most idiotic question I wouldn't expect from an Oxford student. (although my high opinion of Oxford students rapidly decreased after having watched these debates)
Thank you George ‘ you are indeed an honest man ‘ and you speak the truth ‘ I salute you sir from NY’

Depends on what they're studying, generally speaking.
If you want a barometer of someone's intelligence just ask them their views on free speech. The stupid will say they don't support free speech.

George, A clever man, he understands more than Most.
He’s a bigot, and clearly so are you.
JC Denton It heavily calls into question your intellect, and your capacity for analysis if you watch this video and your deduction is ‘anti-bigotry’. Galloway is a raving anti-semite, an arrogant self absorbed maniac. I am no racist, nor do I have any affiliation with the left. I will offer no respect when George dies, the same way he offered no respect to Christopher Hitchens when he died. A man who refuses to debate with Jews, and who speaks poorly of the recently deceased purely on the grounds that they disagreed over US foreign commands no respect, and shame on you supporting him. It is clear that his supporters are as cancerous as his views.
@@0zzySpartan117 I think your confusing two different terms. He's an Anti-Zionist, not an Anti-Semite. Zionism is a political ideology that has many detractors of different stripes, including Jews themselves. Sometimes when we say "Jews" we may be referring to the racial, religious, or cultural groups that fall under that name. This clarification is often missing from vocal critiques of Zionism and is probably the reason Hayek is upset?
I'm glad I watched this, twice by the way. I wish I could speak as beautifully as this man does.
I've gotten in hot water for saying basically what he said, not as eloquently mind you. in parenthesis this man rocks.
This man is a good man. I hope he becomes Prime Minister, he will unite this Kingdom.
George Galloway has spent much of his life trying to help vulnerable people in the Middle East and South Africa as well as those in his constituency who are some of the most ethnically diverse in Britain. His constituency being Bradford where he was voted in overwhelmingly. To label him racist is fantasy.
We should remember of course that the vast majority of students who study at Oxford are right wing, coming from private education and privilege. To many of these students, politics is something they study from a book on a Thursday afternoon. To the people George represents, it is their everyday life. It is inevitable George would be up against it in that environment and I respect him for taking part.
As Owen Jones once said, his peers regarded his presence at Oxford "a result of quotas". A man from such a background could not possibly have the intelligence to be there legitimately in their eyes.
The reason the question was asked is because he was mislead in a previous visit by a union that wished to stitch the 'lefty' up.
Many of these posh boys would not even know the price of milk if you asked them let alone the real issues that trouble people in everyday life.
*****
What relevance do Harvard and Columbia have with this debate in Oxford?
George Galloway has always maintained the Iraq war was based on lies. He turned out to be correct and therefore has every right to console a mother who lost her son for nothing.
*****
Are you thick? Britain and America were only to happy to sell Saddam weaponry. Mr G only attempted to get medical supplies into Iraq to help the working class people. Mr G protested several times out side the Iraqi embassy in London. Iraq was invaded on a pack of lies told by the Britain and America government. , Casey Sheehan was killed in action during the Iraq War. The British and American government killed him. His mother is an American antiwar activist. Sheehan met with Senator John McCain, and later called him a "warmonger. 2007, Sheehan attended several antiwar events. On January 31, 2006, Sheehan wore a T-shirt reading "2,245 Dead. How many more?" to Bush's State of the Union address and was removed and arrested by Capitol Police.
Google Cindy Sheehan for more info. I doubt you will because you are retarded.
***** Sheehan attracted international attention in early August 2005, when she traveled to President Bush's Prairie Chapel Ranch, just outside Crawford, Texas, demanding a second meeting with the President.[17][18] She told members of Veterans for Peace, "I'm gonna say, 'And you tell me, what the noble cause is that my son died for.' And if he even starts to say freedom and democracy, I'm gonna say, bullshit. You tell me the truth. You tell me that my son died for oil. You tell me that my son died to make your friends rich.... You tell me that, you don't tell me my son died for freedom and democracy." She also vowed not to pay her federal income tax for 2004 because that was the year her son was killed.(wikipedia)
*****
Are you really thick or a troll. His mother knew her son was sent to war and killed by the British and American government on a pack of lies. George Galloway knew and I knew it. How is it is your brain cannot grasp this simple fact? If an army invades another country on a pack of lies do you really believe the invaded country is going to sit back and do fuck all? Yes they have aright to fight back. That lads mother was quite right, her son was killed in order to make scum in America and Britain rich out of oil. Is your brain sub normal , can you not grasp this simple fact as either?.
*****
You simply hate him because you have been indoctrinated to hate him. It's not really your fault, it's just that you are easily indoctrinated by the mass media. you cannot follow reason and logic. If you had lived in Germany you would have easily been indoctrinated into being a fascist. Adolf Hitler wrote that mass fascist rallies can make small worms feel they are part of a mighty dragon.I would add the mass media can warp brains like yours into believing their lies and propaganda.
Well he was right, they applaud everything
As a South African myself, let me add Ronnie Kasrils to that list of Jews who stood up and fought against racism, Ronnie has denounced racism by zionists against Palestinians. He is part of a campaign called "Not in my name" by prominent Jews who believe in both freedom and equality, not freedom for a select few. Thanks Mr Galloway, we appreciate.
The Jewish young man who asked the question and the tone he asked it in proves that he is the real racist particularly against Muslim people.
deranged comment
I can tell hes emotional because it's quite disrespectful considering the things he fights for
This speaks volume right now
George Galloway, you are, and always will be an inspiration to me. I hope always that I can be half the decent man that you are. Fight on, and if you look back, you will see 10,000 times 10,000 of your brothers lined up in support behind you.

Henny Youngman political one liners, that is, rhetorical, knee-jerk "One-liners" show no evidence of deep thought, nor interest in evidence to buttress up any claim.
You're not worth the effort.
Amazing, how do you magically know all these things ?
You don't. Knowledge is acquired through discussion of facts, not the making of claims. Children make claims without substantiation, while adults offer objective evidence. You need to do that.
+george boole well said.
Claims, such as what you have just made, abound everywhere however substantiation of the same is another point altogether. I have seen naught but reasoned argumentation on his part for all the positions he has taken. I see him pointing out a lack of the same on the positions taken by others. Until such a one sides consistently on the provably wrong end of reasoned argumentation that person remains a brave and heroic figure regardless the sea of calumny leveled against him.
Well said Mr Galloway
I love this guy 💞
Simply Brilliant!
A powerful answer that still resonates six years later.
And now, 8 years later, it’s possibly more poignant than ever.
@@peytonalexander5300 yep 2022
2023 still
well done George, excellent elaboration to these dull students who entered Oxford through aristocracy
Many of George G's points are shown up as false and roundly skewered here:
blogs.timesofisrael.com/is-george-galloway-an-antisemite/
@@johnmatthews5454 An interesting exercise in illogic. If Galloway were discussing 20th century communism, and consistently identified Slavo, Sachs et al. as Jews first and communists second, then your anti-semitic label might stick. But Galloway is specifically discussing Jews who oppose apartheid, so of course he identifies his examples by their religious affiliation, rather than by their politics. If he was discussing Hindus who oppose apartheid and identified examples by their faith rather than their politics or nationality, would that be anti-Hindu? Of course not. You are twisting a perfectly valid and appropriate reference in this context to create a phony and illogical allegation of anti-semitism.
@robert howard then you must be a huge Galloway fan!
Most people get in on merit now Tom, my dad went to cambridge 35 years ago and is from Luton. Don't talk shit!
@Rimadim dim Not really, I went to an ok school though. I still hated it though, middle class kids are the worst
i just discovered this guy ....and everything I read or watch about him is amazing.....
You shan't be disappointed lad ❤
as South Africans, George Galloway is a hero
This great man will forever be remembered as revolutionary leader
..and pretending to be a cat on TV while dressed in a leotard. What a legacy.
So you known him since long times then ?
@@sratus do you have something against cats?
Leader of what do you joking this dude take money from Kremlin and Iran to talk sheet
Stefan Falx you seriously think Russia’s communist you fucking moron. Do you know what a ducking book is you dim witted dumb fuck. Shut the fuck up, sit the fuck down and read something
George is the real thing. Something most of those at the Oxford Union have never encountered before ! They just got an eye-opener. Brilliant.
They aren't going to care. It's enough for their conscience that they were there.
Galloway is so eloquent & based 😩 I have issues with him but in terms of Palestinian solidarity he is rock solid & admirable
we need just 10 people like you, and we can save the world. be blessed brother
I love George Galloway. If there was another one like him in the world we would have been in a better world.
He should be cloned
HA ha ................ he got you fooled.
@yusuf mughal
Thanks for your appreciation.
As a conservative I disagree with George Galloway on certain subjects but I also greatly admire him.
The two Jewish guys out front,clapping to the question,then look back in anger when the crowd applauded the answer 😆😆😆
Galloway is an outstanding speaker, one can only admire his oratory skills, regardless of politicial inclination. He is handling a critical situation with superb elegance. When he reacted to that flag-waving student, his response was a masterpiece. Instead of ridiculing the student, which would have been easy enough, he challenged the students to reconsider what the Isreali flag stands for, if a far-right organisation with racist and xenophibic, if not latent fascist, positions uses it and the Israelis seem to have no issue with that. And his reply to the racist accusation is another outstanding piece of oratory: his message is (which the students do not seem to have understood, otherwise they would not have asked this question) that for him, apartheid is simply an utterly indefensible, untenable ideological/political position and by debating with someone who supports apartheid as a political doctrine/ideology, whether Israeli or not, would grant this position an aura of acceptability, respectability that Galloway under no circumstances wants to give. Given his experience, not surprising.
Just because a person is intelligent enough to study a certain subject at uni, doesn't mean they are somehow incapable of being misguided or uninformed in another subject. Nobody can know everything about everything, and this is where students can trip themselves up. Nobody is denying they are smart, but being smart means you are able to research things and use your superior ability to analyse and reason and present coherent conclusions. Sometimes they forget this and assume that whatever pops into their head is also as well thought out and valid as their other opinions.
On imageboards we like say "you are NOT immune to propaganda".
@Liam yours is actually a thoughtful comment. Although the student screwed up big time, (and thankfully George put him in his box), he may (or may not) learn from the experience and go on to better things. I'm amazed at some of the stupid/bad/ill-judged impulsive things I've said in the past, particularly as a young guy.
Next to George's speech, this is perhaps the most profound thing said on this page.
wisdom is knowing how little we know a great man once said
Wow hats off to him 👏👏👏👏👏
"Your Boos Mean Nothing, I've Seen What Makes You Cheer"
Well said George x you talk from the heart God bless
Kid got sent to the shadow realm.
The only true British gentleman, whom speaks the pure fact and truth.
George galloway you are a legend. You stand up for the truth. Thank you.
He is so transparent .
Fear No One !
God bless !
He is a fantastic orator
Lol that audience
GG - "Do you just applaud anything?"
Audience - Ohhh Shiaatttt!!!!
Damn. His so serious I can see to his eyes that his very sincere. And he speaks from his heart you can observe into his expressions.
this is real politican. we need a hero like this everywhere. what passion, what a speech in the moment, what a thinker, what a great leader.
I love these oxford talks. A lot of people watching think these students are stupid for asking these questions, but no, its just passionate curiosity! And dont dont scream, or retaliate as hes talking. I think its good! If students are passionate, say something! Say what’s on your mind! And when you get the response like this, you now have tools to formulate another outlook. This is how you learn! Instead of pointing fingers at him saying ‘shame!’ I love these talks! I wish they posted more of these.
