It was a former ambassador called Oliver Miles, in a piece that he wrote for the Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/oliver-miles-the-key-question-ndash-is-blair-a-war-criminal-1825374.html “such as Richard Ingrams’ disappointment that the panel included ‘two Jewish historians’”

I also once heard him tell a caller that protests in Israel against Sabra/Shatila exceeded anything in the Arab world. The question then becomes, "is it antisemitic to deny Jews their homeland" which he in effect does with his Balfour apology schtick. Galloway always denounces overt antisemitism, as you describe.

Galloway took them to task firmly about their comment, saying "That's racism".
