George Galloway’s Deputy Under Investigation for Saying Israel “Has Forfeited Any Right to Exist”

Chris Williamson, the Deputy Leader of George Galloway’s Workers Party of Britain, is being investigated by police for saying that Israel “has forfeited any right to exist”. The Mail has more.

Former Labour MP Chris Williamson made the comment on social media on October 17th, ten days after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,200 Israelis.

He told his 149,000 followers on X: “The people of the world now know that Israel has forfeited the right to exist and that resistance to the genocidal Zionist entity is the only option.” …

The Jeremy Corbyn ally sparked further fury after refusing to condemn the attacks when he appeared on Radio 4’s Today programme on Friday after The Workers Party of Britain, of which he is Deputy Leader, won the Rochdale by-election. …

Williamson, 67, a former Labour MP for Derby North, was Shadow Local Government Minister from 2010 to 2013. 

He was suspended from Labour in 2019 after he claimed the party had been “too apologetic” in response to allegations of antisemitism.

Evil, nasty pieces of work, who do not belong in civilized society. It doesn’t require one to channel their inner Sherlock Holmes to know that it’s these very individuals who would have either been Nazis or the informers who grass up their neighbours to the Gestapo if they suspected there was any Jews being kept hidden. This is what this wicked turd is. Just another now run of the mill attack on a Jew over in sleepy Switzerland last night. Not many countries escaping the ”Allahu akbar” treatment these days is there? ”A visibly identifiable religious Orthodox Jew was stabbed in the Selnau district of Zurich, Switzerland. The incident occurred on Saturday evening shortly after the Sabbath concluded, according to the local Jewish community. Zurich police stated a 15-year-old assailant stabbed the 50-year-old victim, who was in critical condition. An investigation was launched into the incident as a suspected hate crime, including “the possibility of an anti-Semitic motivated crime.” An eyewitness, quoted by the local Blick news site, “the assailant laughed when he was arrested.” And further reports indicated it was a hate crime, during which the assailant shouted “death to the Jews” during the attack.  The Swiss Office against Anti-Semitism and… Read more »

Of course, you know it wasn’t an Indigenous French person who did this, but a “Global Majority Heritage” type.

Yes indeed. And it wouldn’t surprise me that with Ramadan just round the corner there may be more such Islamist ‘treats’ in store. After all, there’s only one thing worse than a psychopathic, homicidal maniac and that’s a ‘hangry’ psychopathic, homicidal maniac.

🎯🤣 Perfect, Dings. Could not agree more. 👏 Stick the whole wretched, traitorous lot of them on a one-way journey to some Islamic, democracy-hating, death obsessed sh*thole. I’m sure they’d be much more comfortable. And regarding the resident ‘Jew-haters R US’ trolls, personally I’d prefer to live surrounded by a load of Jews than I would radical Muslims. Wake me up when Israel starts chucking people off buildings if they come out as gay, kill you if you leave Judaism or practice another religion, kill you if you draw God or Jesus, force women to cover themselves with a bed sheet whenever they leave the house ( *only with a male chaperone, mind* ), or stone a woman to death if she’s “disobedient*, because women have bugger all rights full stop. I could go on but until such a time as Israelis/Jews start behaving like barbaric savages without an ounce of humanity I’ll take my chances living side by side with people whose life’s mission isn’t to blow themselves up in a public place and take as many hated non-Muslims as they can with them, ta.👍 I know who the biggest threat is and it ain’t the tiny fraction of… Read more »

Are we now keen on the police investigating Williamson’s right to express his opinion freely?

Get a grip, it’s not like he’s misgendered somebody 🙂

I disagree with him entirely and I think he’s a nasty piece of work, but I also do not believe this should be a police matter.

“Israel “has forfeited any right to exist”

Is this his own words? God help Britain if it is!

All completely fake of cause!

Why is it an offence to question the right of Israel to exist? To the best of my knowledge Guatemala claims the entirety of Belize and Serbia claims the entirely of Kosovo. The claim of the Republic of China to Mongolia was maintained at a time when both were members of the United Nations. What is the difference between these claims and one that Israel is by right the territory of Palestine?

Let me repeat. Israel was accorded recognition conditionally on the existence of two states of Israel and Palestine, having campaigned for recognition on that basis. I cannot think when anyone was investigated for saying that Palestine has no right to exist, though Israel and its supporters plainly think so.

And what on earth has any of this got to do with scepticism or free speech?

I have always considered this man as evil personified.
