George Galloway swiftly walked out of the debate at the university’s Christ Church College, following his opposite’s accidental revelation that he was a Zionist.
The MP told Eylon Aslan-Levy that he never recognized Zionist regime.
Galloway was discussing the fact that the Zionist regime should immediately withdraw from the occupied West Bank when Aslan-Levy used the word “we” to describe Israel’s stance on the issue.
“You said ‘we’,” said Galloway. “Are you an Israeli?”
“I am, yes,” Aslan-Levy replied.
The British MP then said, “I don't debate with Israelis. I have been misled, sorry,” reiterating as he walked out that, “I don't recognize Israel and I don't debate with Israelis.”
“I never debate with Israelis nor speak to their media. If they want to speak about Palestine - the address is the PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization],” Galloway later said on his Facebook page.
He also noted that the Christ Church College had never informed him that the debate would be with an Israeli.
