George Galloway, the Rochdale MP and left-wing politician, has sparked controversy with his statement that no state, including Israel, 'has a right to exist.' His comments were made during an interview with Sky News' deputy political editor, Sam Coates, at his victory event in a Rochdale car dealership in 2024. Galloway's stance has drawn criticism for its apparent inconsistency, as he also advocates for the Palestinian right to a state. Critics, including Christopher Hitchens in 2005, have previously accused Galloway of supporting tyrants under the guise of anti-Western and anti-Israel sentiment, particularly criticizing his indifference to the 'daily murder of 200 children.'
