The Countdown star and former Labour MP became embroiled in the angry spat after Ms Riley called out what she sees as a rising tide of anti-Semitic sentiment.
The presenter, who is Jewish, said in recent weeks she has been confronted with 'weird and aggressive posts about Israel and Zionists'.

In a series of tweets she thanked colleagues who stood with her against the online abuse she has been a victim of, including Countdown host Nick Hewer.
She tweeted, 'Thanks to Nick Hewer and everyone else standing shoulder to shoulder with me and so many others, against bullying, and against Antisemitism. It's so very much appreciated. BeLouder.'
However, Galloway, who was also a member of parliament for the Respect Party, hit back at the Oxford University graduate.
He said: 'Dumbfounding. She calls Chomsky ( or Chomski as she styles him) an anti-Semite and slanders half the Labour Party as the same. 1980's left-wing comedy icon and all round gent backs...her! #Corbyn #Labour.'
Ms Riley replied: 'F*** off George Galloway. Today is not the day I'm going to be polite to antisemite scum - to be explicit George Galloway.'
The row heightened in recent days when Mr Hewer, outraged at the abuse Ms Riley was receiving online for standing up to anti-Semitism, said he would no longer vote Labour - something he had done since 1964.
He said he was 'astonished at the blunt assaults and trickster arguments' aimed at her after she criticised Jeremy Corbyn over anti-Semitism.
He tweeted: 'As an Anglo-Irish lapsed Catholic, raises to abhor bigotry, I am astonished at the blunt assaults and trickster arguments fired at my friend and colleague Rachel Riley for calling out anti-Semitism in that once great Labour party which I have voted for since 1964. Not any more.'
Galloway, who once appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, also took aim at Stephen Fry after the former QI host tweeted that he stood with Ms Riley

Galloway tweeted: 'To be clear stephenfry Are you 'standing by' Rachel Riley off Countdown as an arithmetician or because you too consider NoamChomsky (aka Chomski) to be an Anti-Semite?'
Last year Mr Riley revealed how she had been called a 'Tory, brainwashed and thick' for criticising Jeremy Corbyn after he was accused of racism.
Mr Corbyn denies allegations of anti-Semitism in his party.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
