Tottenham Hotspur have condemned former MP George Galloway for an alleged anti-Semitic comment he made on Twitter after the Champions League final on Saturday evening.
Galloway took to social media following Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in Madrid when he congratulated Jurgen Klopp’s side and added that there would be “no Israel flags on the cup.” which is an alleged reference to the North London side’s strong links within the Jewish community.
The 64-year-old has since been sacked by talkRADIO with the radio station confirming on Monday that they had terminated his weekly show whilst insisting they do not tolerate such views.
Following his Tweet, Galloway defended the post by claiming that a some Spurs fans at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium were flying the flag of Israel in the crowd and it showed an affiliation to a “racist state”.

Tottenham gave the following statement to Sky Sports News on Sunday: “It’s astounding in this day and age to read such blatant antisemitism published on a social platform by someone who is still afforded air time on a radio station on which he has previously broken broadcast impartiality rules.”
