I have a feeling that for the overwhelming majority of UK residents, the departure of Galloway from Parliament will be a case of "good riddence to bad garbage".
What's there to debunk? Galloway feels that Israelis knowing how to aim is a crime.
Name one other war in an urban setting that produced fewer civilian casualties than the Gaza incursions.No, knowing how to aim yet causing huge civilian deaths is what he thinks is a crime

Are you claiming it is wrong to kill those who are at war with you?noticed you ignored this earlier,
List of Israeli assassinations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_assassinations
Thats gonna create quite a lotta anger, isn't it? Could we maybe make a comparison here between the ideology of Israels Kidon and Hamas?
Are you claiming it is wrong to kill those who are at war with you?
And curious you once again ignore that Hamas targets civilians and tortures political opponents to death.
noticed you ignored this earlier,

The people they killed were certainly at war with Israel, do you disagree?Now, were they at war for all of these killings? No.
This is a lie, you have seen the evidence you just chose to ignore it.I have not seen such evidence, but would not be entirely surprised.
No, they targeted people who were warring on them. It is well within the rules of warfare to target the enemy, even if he hides amongst civilians.I have however seen numerous accounts of Israel targetting civilian locations and thus civilians, and killing dozens of people and leaders through their various assassinations.
No, they're the elected govenment, who have to defend themselves from Israeli agression frequently.
I dont like Hamas, but I dont think they are terrorists any more than Israel is a terrorist state (if we are going by civilian deaths especially)
Formed in late 1987 as an outgrowth of the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Various HAMAS elements have used both political and violent means, including terrorism, to pursue the goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in place of Israel. Loosely structured, with some elements working clandestinely and others working openly through mosques and social service institutions to recruit members, raise money, organize activities, and distribute propaganda. HAMAS's strength is concentrated in the Gaza Strip and a few areas of the West Bank.
HAMAS activists, especially those in the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, have conducted many attacks--including large-scale suicide bombings--against Israeli civilian and military targets, suspected Palestinian collaborators, and Fatah rivals.
dont they?!
They have a large army and miliary power. Hamas are like toy soldiers firing out of date and inaccurate weapons.
So theres no real reasons that people can give then why he's so bad? Apart from all the ones that I've proved wrong
Might make a list of all the things people have accused him of that were outright wrong in a bit, that would be a laugh. You have to wonder why so many people believe all these false allegations.
Untrue. But I didn't expect anything better from you. He just supports them over Israel if having to decide between them both. His sticking up for Hamas and people in palestine during times of war and inhumain suffering is often confused with him being some sort of fervant Hamas sycophant.
BZZZZT!
Wrong. He supports them over Israel while in conflict for humanitarian reasons, and will stick up for their right to defend themselves. He is not a hamas supporter by any means.
Here's a montage of Galloway asshattery, where he makes it quite clear he is pro-Hamas:
The Nazi Party was an elected government, as well, and shared Hamas's fascist and anti-Semitic viewpoints. Israeli self-defense measures should not be confused with IslamoNazi aggression against Israel.
The US State Department does think Hamas are terrorists.
Have you found an urban war which had less civilian deaths than the Gaza incursion yet?
And curious you once again ignore that Hamas targets civilians and tortures political opponents to death.
