George Galloway is a former member of Britain’s Parliament, an eloquent champagne socialist, and a de facto traitor (he called for attacks on British forces during the Iraq War offensive in 2003). But these days, Galloway earns his keep as a well-paid propagandist for Russian President Vladimir Putin (he was formerly in the employ of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei). Perhaps not coincidentally (considering Khamenei’s Jew-hatred), Galloway on Wednesday used Nazi references to rebut accusations the Labour Party is anti-Semitic.
The anti-Semitism scandal is newly relevant because eight parliamentarians quit the Labour Party this week in protest of Leader Jeremy Corbyn’s anti-Semitic tendencies. But it’s all fake news, Galloway says. He claims the media are spinning propaganda from the school of Joseph Goebbels. Yes, Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist for Hitler’s fanatical agenda, who killed his own children.
Watch what Galloway said on Wednesday:
Let’s debunk Galloway. For a start, contrary to Galloway’s assertion that British Jewish organizations believe things aren’t that bad in the Labour Party, the exact opposite is actually true. Jewish organizations in the U.K. have rarely been more concerned about Labour’s disinterest in their concerns.
But the key theme of Galloway’s argument is also provably untrue. He says that the media’s “Goebbelian lie” is its reporting that Jeremy Corbyn might have “an atom” of anti-Semitism in “his mind or body.” Sorry, George, that reporting is an obvious fact. After all, Corbyn hasn’t just rejected and resisted efforts to purge anti-Semitism; he’s repeatedly aligned himself with Jew-killing organizations such as Hamas and the Lebanese Hezbollah (Galloway is also close to Hezbollah). Oh, and the Labour leader has also endorsed anti-Semitic artwork.
This leads us to an inevitable conclusion. If Galloway thinks the media’s reporting on Corbyn is “Goebbelian,” then Galloway must be a true-believer in Orwellian newspeak.
