Douglas Murray scores ‘emphatic victory’ in Munk debate

Sky News host Rita Panahi says Author Douglas Murray had an “emphatic victory” in a recent debate in which he argued that anti-Zionism is antisemitism.

Mr Murray claimed victory with 66 per cent of the audience vote in the Munk Debate against political commentator Mehdi Hasan and journalist Gideon Levy.

“I think we can see why you won the debate,” Ms Panahi said.

Ms Panahi sat down with Douglas Murray to discuss the Munk Debate and the rise of antisemitism in the West.

Didn’t Mehdi Hasan wipe the floor with him ?

[davymyboy]

The Munk debate has been taken down. That means Medhi and Gideon won.

Triumph? Murray got his ass handed to him.

[askh]

The comments will tell you who truly won that debate

[macaron]

Lmao are you serious? He sounded like a child and shook his head every time Medhi Hasan stated an fact.

[DotyFuzz]

Triumph?? Sky news are creating their own happiness 😂😂

[shellstar]

Sky coping hard. Douglas lost this debate.

[cnvjrsc]

Yes, Sky
Ignorance is strength war is peace, slavery is freedom

[Verbomasbello]

How dishonest of a title. Did you not watch Mehdi Hasan speak?

[bennyben]

Murray won the debate? 😂 😂 😂 Murray got slapped, obviously sky news always comes up with their own judgement. Really funny

[ayaanayub]

Do Aussies have trouble recognising winning or losing?

[asif]

This is a man who couldnt win the argument and started on personal attacks on Mehdi..

[vanessa]

😂 he thinks he won the debate 😂😂😂I guess they didn’t see the entire debate .

[GregQchi]

The headline is the opposite of what happened.

[Jim_Murphy_]

The reason why Douglas and Natasha technically won the debate is because the audience was outlandishly one sided. The crowd booing Shin Bet and Oxfam was a low point and highlights exactly where Israel and its supporters are in their thinking. I’ve watched it twice now and I’m sorry but Douglas laid out very simple points that were easily rebuked with a dose of ‘look over there’ thrown in for good measure. It was an embarrassment to be honest.
