This really made my day :D

He completely tears the SKY presenter to shreds!

A wonderful piece of clear-headed debating by someone with genuine passion for their subject, he doesnt let the Murdochs biased agenda get away with anything. Worth watching even if your not following the conflict, or want a more balanced take on the situation. This is the sort of thing you probably dont get to see often on mainstream tv stateside, so enjoy :)

I don't agree with some of George Galloway's views but I can't disagree with him on any point here. I'm genuinely suprised Murdoch's propaganda machine put this on their website!

George Galloway's sort of like a communist Bill O'Reily. He's a good debater and can be insightful on some issues, but frequently he's more of a rabble rouser.

Yelling 'SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!!' & 'CUT HIS MIC!!' everytime you feel threatened doesnt count as good debate in my book ;)

I'm hardly a defender of Israel's sledghammer aproach of dealing with endo-national militants by bombing the s**t out of a redeveloping nationstate. But I still think the guy's as biased as the people he attacks. And some of the comments on YouTube make me wanna hit someone. Both sides are responsible for terrorrism, both sides have commited war crimes, neither side can be painted as whiter than white, Israel launches rockets into areas not really caring if any civilians are killed in the process, Hezbollah launches rockets into areas HOPING to kill civilians, Israel kidnap Lebanese, Hezbollah kidnap Israeli's...

I didn't say that O'Reilly was always good. Like Galloway, he _can_ be good.

However, I sympathize with O'Reilly. Glick made me ill to my stomach the first time I watched him talk.
