It's legit. Galloway has been playing into reactionary shit in order to grow and this inevitably attracts very bad people and candidates. It's a dead end strategy that will only really succeed in maintaining his own relevance and not really help achieve socialism.

With that said antisemitism has risen among totally normal people in the UK as well. I met a doctor the other day who just blatantly said the jews are bad in conversation with me (not just the israeli population). The conflation of jewishness with the state of Israel is responsible for this alongside the absolutely massive anti-israel attitude across basically the whole country.

I mean, unless the quotes are entirely fabricated there doesn't seem to be much ambiguity.

She's quoted as saying that 6 million can't be the real death toll, and quoted as using "The Jew" as a pejorative epithet against Bill Gates, and then finally quoted as saying some collective behavior of European Jews motivated Nazi Germany's persecution.

Pretty clear cut, particularly since these all seem to be direct quotes and not even other statements she liked or shared.

I've briefly looked through twitter and found a screenshot including the Bill Gates post at the very least, but neither of the other two really egregious ones.

There is a lot of screen caps from her involving Soros though, but I think her personal account has been deleted by now so most of what has been saved and posted is focusing on her talking about Zionists.
