Hard to describe Hitchens as a 'thinking person' on this issue. He regularly displays his contempt for the Palestinian people by parroting well-worn Hasbara talking points and passing them off as his own contrarian wisdom. Most bizarrely, he seems to think that there was some golden era before the Oslo Peace Process when apparently the Palestinians were satisfied living under brutal Israeli occupation. Avi Shlaim, Norman Finkelstein, Gideon Levy, Amira Haas and others provide much more lucid analysis on the topic.

"the normal thinking person" Mr. Hitchens, supports the one and only politician who calls out the colonialist enterprise of 1948 for what it is. What utter arrogance and criminality humans adopt when they aquire power over a weaker set of humans. (See Galloway's 2012 Oxford Union debate on joining the military.) Galloway expresses that so forcefully and eloquently and we have to listen, even if it makes colonialists squirm.
The dictionary definition of ‘Holocaust’ is “destruction or slaughter or slaughter on a mass scale” - which is what is happening in Gaza. The Jewish people suffered one of the worst holocausts in history but that doesn’t mean they own the word or that no one else can suffer “destruction or slaughter”. What is horrific is the fact that it is now Israel perpetrating such acts on the Palestinians (and please don’t say civilian deaths are unintentional … the sheer scale of civilian deaths would suggest otherwise)!
But 1% of a population is not genocide its simple maths although any loss of life is a tragedy but that tragedy its on hamas for not being peaceful in the 1st place and if unchecked will do the same thing again and again because they believe the jews should be eradicated 😢
"Not by any means a majority" says Hitchens. Until Mr. Hitchens wakes up to the fact that it is not a tiny, insignificant minority requesting more politicians like Galloway, he will continue to underestimate their clout.
The people who are speaking out the loudest against the deaths of these children are the people who are causing the deaths with deliberate endangerment for ideological gain. The ignorant folks in the West who only fixate on the children's deaths without considering the reasons are, in fact, encouraging more death by enabling Hamas.
He may be overcompensating - he and his brother found out late in life that their mother was in fact Jewish... and by definition, so were they. (To be fair, neither could have been accused of antisemitism brior to their discovery...)

@bm1617 "narcissism, the ultimate sin." Narcissism is the excessive interest in or admiration of oneself. Why does this god character display so much narcissism then? Not to mention the narcissism of many of his most vociferous advocates?
can someone explain to me: 6M Jewish Civilians died at the hands of the Nazis. They called it the Holocaust and and it has become a shield for the Jewish nation, something that is always referred to as a defence against anti-Semitism. 6M civilian casualties in Poland 19M civilian casualties in USSR at the hands of the same Nazis, total deaths including those who were sent to work camps or concentration camps. Nazis treated Jews, Poles nations of the USSR the same. Yet there is no mention of other nations, implied or literal when they talk about the Holocaust. Why has the Jewish nation been allowed to monopolise this and use it at will?
Agree or disagree I think it's okay to discuss the comparison and both positions have valid points which should be respected because we need dialogue not violence
I have enjoyed listening to Hitchens take on many things in the past and mostly I agree with him .... but he's on the wrong side of history here and it saddens me.
I watched the Alex o' conner interview, Hitchens acted like a complete tool, refused to accept demonstrable evidence negating his position regarding drug laws in Portugal, ranted, called him names and stormed off, the polar opposite of his late great brother

@@davis7099 My point is; that Jews often display a voracious ethno-centrism that usually presents itself in a pathological need to defend other Jewish people and the state of Israel. Hitchens and his clan are using a terrorist attack where hundreds were killed to justify a literal ETHNIC CLEANSING of TENS OF THOUSANDS and forced evacuation from their homeland of innocent men, women and children, 99% of whom have no connection to the terrorist group Hamas.
There are a huge number in the Uk that are not radical Islamists but very critical of Israel for creating a apartheid state and now a policy of ethnic cleansing and horrific treatment of innocents. It’s not that complicated
Galloway comparing what is happening in Gaza right now as a Holocaust is correct. It is not a term that is patented or exclusive to any group of people. Oct 7 was a military offensive by Hamas that took advantage of Israel’s intelligence complacency, even though they had the blue print of how it was going to occur. Israel’s response on Oct 7 by invoking the Hannibal Protocol was responsible for more Israeli citizens being killed than Hamas did. Survivors talking about Tank fire at homes where Hamas operatives were with civilians and killing them all is chilling. Apache helicopters fire bombing vehicles indiscriminately was a disaster.
Wow man, they are ALL showing their true colors with this whole thing, huh?
Yep.
15:29 Can you believe Hitchens suggests Israel should have claimed the typical rhetoric "we are hated because we are Jews"

@@jittmet7766 yes they are under occupation. And as the occupiers israel has no right to defend itself. Israel's permanent occupation endangers the cultural existence of the Palestinian people and violates their right to self-determination. Arthur Balfour had no right to give away Palestinian land.

Rather than attacking GG he should be condemning Netanyahu and his supporters committing genocide.
And that’s the problem, that’s hyperbolic nonsense 😂
Exactly
No-one is commiting genocide - that word is fast becoming worthless as it's improperly used so many times - it wasn't long ago that Russia was commiting genocide apparently- they seem to have stopped...
Over 30,000 murdered in cold blood, mostly women and children. Blocking food, cutting off water. Have a look at yourself Steve@@stevehall9333
@@stevehall9333 So what is happening then according to you?
George Galloway is a moral man
30,000+ dead Palestinian men, women and children and thousands left homeless and starving. Why ?
Why ? You need to ask ?
Because Egypt won't open its border and neither will Jordan.
@@compartsrecoveries2048
Wrong answer. Correct answer; because the IDF is out of control.
@@monkeyboy8424 because Islam has extreme elements that blame Israel for everything whilst never ever taking the blame for anything they do wrong. Why don't Muslim countries care about the plight of Palestinians? It's embarrassing just how little they care. They just use the issue to score political points whilst doing absolutely nothing practical to help. That is just plain evil.
Blind revenge on the blameless victims
You call a genocide a "policy adopted by Netenyahu". This is pure barbaris.
Is it a genocide?
Clearly Is genocide .@@WalterKhayyam

George a great man ❤
I used to think hitchens was a logical thinker,but now sadly I see he’s joined the club of the self same hacks who print propaganda.
Yeh same here. I used to like him. stopped listening to him back around 2020.
Why has GGs election got the politicians and commentariat running around trying to defame, discredit and belittle him?
I mean even sunak felt he needed to call a press conference!!
😂😂
Peter Hitchens is effectively endorsing genocide…his mealy-mouthed description of genocide as being bad policy is pathetic
Well done George Galloway 👏 Continue to stand for the oppressed
Galloway stands for no-one but himself.
What like he supports putins genocide in Ukraine … is Putin oppressed
British politics needs Mavericks like Galloway at this time. He will shake the hornets nest.
I wish it were so. Or is he tapping into the narrative, in which case he is just aligning with those who are shaking up the hornets nest to distract from the deadly vipers nest. The media is captured, the narrative is captured. Anyone who is not being CANCELLED is probably part of the problem at this moment in history.
Exactly, see all the dumb and phoney patriots suddenly jump to the establishments defence

Its not hatred of Jews. It is the hatred for Palestinians.
All this talk of segmented thinking is apt. Anti-war and violence against civilians does not equal pro-Hamas support.
Im not aligning myself with Islam. Im aligning myself with humanity.

better than many of the western leaders who are the cause of the majority of instability across the world@@rrstows3522
Galloway is great. It makes total sense as to why he won the election.

Waffle waffle blah blah blah. No one care what you have to say. I agree with all the comments from my friends below!

No, Douglas Murray is on the front lines in Gaza stealing ladies underwear

Oh no the sacred cow was questioned we can't have a that can we🤷dissapointing from hitchens.
The painting behind Hitchens. Is it the Tower of Babel?
Yes. That time when his god petulantly thwarted us humans cooperating with each other.
Yes, it's Bruegel's Tower of Babel. Peter regards it as a contender for the greatest painting in the world and appraised it in his blog once. Kinda fits with his pessimistic world view.
@bm1617 "narcissism, the ultimate sin."
Narcissism is the excessive interest in or admiration of oneself.
Why does this god character display so much narcissism then?
Not to mention the narcissism of many of his most vociferous advocates?

I suspect this type of comments section reaction is why people will be keen to see GG get going on the politicos in the House of Commonfolk
Here we go again...
I can't stand either of these two so can we just leave it at that.
George Galloway comparing the actions in Gaza with the Holocaust is exactly what is happening
YEP
But not exactly what didn't happen...
No it isn't.
FAKE NEWS
Exactly. How no one can see this is absolutely appalling
can someone explain to me:
6M Jewish Civilians died at the hands of the Nazis. They called it the Holocaust and and it has become a shield for the Jewish nation, something that is always referred to as a defence against anti-Semitism.
6M civilian casualties in Poland
19M civilian casualties in USSR
at the hands of the same Nazis, total deaths including those who were sent to work camps or concentration camps. Nazis treated Jews, Poles nations of the USSR the same.
Yet there is no mention of other nations, implied or literal when they talk about the Holocaust. Why has the Jewish nation been allowed to monopolise this and use it at will?
🤣🤣🤣 F Hitchens. HE IS IRRELEVANT!
He’s more relevant than you are
Especially when he cannot decide if genocide is an atrocity he should know he is Jewish. Definitely in the category of irrelevant.
@@thomasbootham2707 🤣🤣🤣🤡

Truly irrelevant. More incorrigible than his brother.
Well done on your victory Mr Galloway . Mr Hitchens can along with the other losers get stuck into a big bowl of sour grapes!
Spiced with curry,,,,🤡
Hitchens dont care really
The only reason Peter Hitchens gets any air time is because of the legacy of his (long-dead) brother.
Agree or disagree I think it's okay to discuss the comparison and both positions have valid points which should be respected because we need dialogue not violence
I have enjoyed listening to Hitchens take on many things in the past and mostly I agree with him .... but he's on the wrong side of history here and it saddens me.
Hitchens is a simpleton.
He is at least the lesser of the Hitchins brothers.
lol hardly...
He is making a low resolution argument. Only you are allowed to do this, of course.
what is the high resolution argument? I ask in good faith@@pierscadell7188
Prove he is
Lol Hitchens is the perfect icon of ruling class hubris and cluelessness.
Hitchens, sadly, is quite an immature man.
Did he walk out of this interview, as well?
Oh go an smoke another spliff.
@@Billcarsonstobaccobox immature riposte
Pretty sure George Galloway walked out of a debate simply because he found out his opponent was an Israeli.
I watched the Alex o' conner interview, Hitchens acted like a complete tool, refused to accept demonstrable evidence negating his position regarding drug laws in Portugal, ranted, called him names and stormed off, the polar opposite of his late great brother
@@zekeedwards7904 He has written about the subject, and the sources are available on the stuff he has written - including on Portugal.
"The dictionary definition of ‘Holocaust’ is “destruction or slaughter or slaughter on a mass scale” - which is what is happening in Gaza. The Jewish people suffered one of the worst holocausts in history but that doesn’t mean they own the word or that no one else can suffer “destruction or slaughter”. What is horrific is the fact that it is now Israel perpetrating such acts on the Palestinians (and please don’t say civilian deaths are unintentional … the sheer scale of civilian deaths would suggest otherwise)!" wrote @user-xn1qf7fx6r and i thought it a jolly good thing to write.
Hitchens the health freak - looks light grey and ill.
Good im glad you spotted it lets hope he won't last long among us
I dont understand how vile people are still here breathing the wonderful air
It's all the hate, causing him to slowly asphyxiate. Miserable old sod.
Nothing can undo the horror and right the wrong. May you at least be at peace ☮️
The next time your house is burgled the police can say that to you then?
Right John ? 😄
Why do shows get these tools as guests to continue the msm propaganda of ignorance, Galloway would tear these two to shreds with intellect and fact. Have him as a guest and let’s see how they would handle him.
Many are panicking with George back in parliament. Why are they so afraid? Democrace.. remember.
Peter, come on, Galloway has done more than you ever will.
Nope
What is happening in Gaza is wrong, disgusting and unacceptable 😢🛐❤
Anyone with half a soul sees what is happening is barbaric, cruel and entirely unacceptable. Hitchens is obviously not one of these people.
Oh I know what side Galloway would have been on. Rather less certain bout either of these guests.
A bevy of establishment clowns out to attack George!!
Yes poor hamas George and the money he gets from his groomers.
Yes and not one of them attacking people who refuse to swear allegiance to the crown but collect a wage. At least GG has sworn allegiance to the crown.
Peter Hitchings is definitely not establishment😂
Well to make you feel better I will leave out establishment 🥱@@deadinthebed963
It's worth noting that Peter Hitchens is Jewish on his mother's side, and he also married Eve Ross - A Jew...
@@davis7099 My point is; that Jews often display a voracious ethno-centrism that usually presents itself in a pathological need to defend other Jewish people and the state of Israel. Hitchens and his clan are using a terrorist attack where hundreds were killed to justify a literal ETHNIC CLEANSING of TENS OF THOUSANDS and forced evacuation from their homeland of innocent men, women and children, 99% of whom have no connection to the terrorist group Hamas.

Have a debate with george mr hitchens if u dare. You showed what you are in that prison program
Can someone sum up his arguments (not sure I can stomach watching him for half an hour) pls ?
talk about appaling.
the way peter hitchens has been physically deteriorating .
i haven't seen him in some time
He looked much better on his last, long broadcast on Times Radio, a few weeks ago.
There are a huge number in the Uk that are not radical Islamists but very critical of Israel for creating a apartheid state and now a policy of ethnic cleansing and horrific treatment of innocents. It’s not that complicated
Galloway comparing what is happening in Gaza right now as a Holocaust is correct. It is not a term that is patented or exclusive to any group of people.
Oct 7 was a military offensive by Hamas that took advantage of Israel’s intelligence complacency, even though they had the blue print of how it was going to occur.
Israel’s response on Oct 7 by invoking the Hannibal Protocol was responsible for more Israeli citizens being killed than Hamas did. Survivors talking about Tank fire at homes where Hamas operatives were with civilians and killing them all is chilling. Apache helicopters fire bombing vehicles indiscriminately was a disaster.
It’s warped 😂
Military offensive? Targeting civilians, pensioners and babies. Hamas operatives?? You mean cowards that hide behind children?
Definitely bought and paid for by the little hats. Sad
Why does Hitchens always look like he can't stand the smell of his own 🦬💩
Can't blame him - hearing him talk, I can't stand the smell of it either.
It's nothing to do with being on the left or right it's about humanity being wiped out
