Pompous right-winger who refuses to give up asking ‘Do you condemn’ Palestinian resistance gets a history lesson
Workers Party GB leader and Rochdale general election candidate George Galloway gave right-wing TV host Piers Morgan a history lesson after Morgan opened yet another interview by ridiculously asking supporters of Palestinian freedom and human rights whether they condemn Palestinian resistance against Israeli oppression.
Morgan asked Galloway whether he condemned what Morgan claimed was the biggest one-day slaughter in the history of Palestine and Israel – and Galloway had to school Morgan that 7 October last year was nowhere near the biggest single-day death toll in the history of Israeli occupation. In fact, in the Sabra and Shatila massacre during Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, overseen by later-Israeli PM Ariel Sharon, almost four thousand mostly Palestinian women and children were massacred in the space of just a few hours:
The Palestinian men had left for Tunisia as part of a supposed peace deal, so Israel’s massacre was doubly cowardly.
Morgan is well aware of the scale of Israel war crimes and its slaughter and maiming of far more than 100,000 Palestinians since 7 October, and must be aware of both the decades of murder and oppression by Israel that preceded it and the fact that Israel’s killing of its own people on 7 October was described by the IDF as ‘immense’, common knowledge in Israel, yet continues his disgraceful tactic. Palestinian lives matter every bit as much as those of Israelis or anyone else. Free Palestine.
