"It’s the club of Ronnie Rosenthal and Avi Cohen. It’s the club of Mo Salah and Sadio Mane. It’s the club of Parson Jackson and Bill Shankly (with no e). It’s a club of all flags, all religions, all nations and none."
"It's astounding in this day and age to read such blatant antisemitism published on a social platform by someone who is still afforded air time on a radio station on which he has previously broken broadcast impartiality rules," responded a Tottenham Hotspurs spokesman, Sky News reported.Former Tottenham Hotspur chairman Lord Alan Sugar responded to Galloway's tweet, calling it "a swipe at the Jewish community who are Spurs fans. The man is low life an anti-Semite of the highest order"Galloway responded to Lord Sugar by inviting him on Twitter to a debate on racism in the Albert Hall, adding that his "half of the gate money will go to Palestinian kids in Gaza.""I would answer but you have blocked me you double barrel twerp. I would not be in the same room as you let alone the royal Albert hall. You are anti-semetic and a racist," Lord Sugar responded in a tweet, later posting a screenshot showing that he was blocked from seeing Galloway's Twitter as well.Please don’t include Liverpool Football Club in this bullshit. It’s the club of Ronnie Rosenthal and Avi Cohen. It’s the club of Mo Salah and Sadio Mane. It’s the club of Parson Jackson and Bill Shankly (with no e). It’s a club of all flags, all religions, all nations and none. https://t.co/EK1fMnupz4

In October 2014, he declared his constituency city, Bradford, an “Israeli free zone” in protest of Operation Protective Edge.In 2015, Galloway expressed support for a third intifada, saying "Whenever it comes I will support it with every breath God gives me."Jerusalem Post Staff contributed to this report.I would answer but you have blocked me you double barrel twerp.
