Galloway is entitled not to recognise the state of Israel or even speak to Israelis but it doesn't help the anti-occupation cause
On Wednesday, George Galloway walked out of a meeting because it turned out he was going to be debating an Israeli. "I was misinformed" he said. "I don't debate with Israelis. I don't recognise Israel." Later, he clarified the tactic on Twitter: "Israel: simple, No recognition No normalisation. Just Boycott, divestment, sanctions."
