"The Trump administration view of “western civilisation” is based on race, Christianity and nationalism. The European version is a liberal view founded on democracy, human rights and the rule of law, including international law."
That might be what EUrope says, but not what EUrope does!

Amazing how blind centrists are to the foundational nativism of European politics. There is more outcry over the U.S. Southern border than over the European Mediterranean border.
How about the actual treatment of non-white citizens and non-EU immigrants or LGBTQIA+ community in many EU states?

Doing critical research in academia can be lonely and alienating, particularly when it's about an already grim topic like reactionary politics

"Das extremistisch-arabische 'Nakba'-Vokabular" - die deutsche Verzerrung palästinensischer Geschichte findet kein Ende.
In diesem Absatz steckt das komplette Set Dummheit mancher „Linker“ zu dem Thema:
1. Geschichtsrevisionismus (Nakba in Anführungszeichen).
2. Denken nur in Nullsummen.
3. israelische Geschichte als invertierter Spiegel deutscher Geschichte verklärt („Araber = Nazis“).
4. wie immer: Ausländer.

‘We faced hunger before, but never like this’: skeletal children fill hospital wards as starvation grips Gaza
‘We faced hunger before, but never like this’: skeletal children fill hospital wards as starvation grips Gaza
For months Israel kept food shipments to Gaza far below starvation rations. Now the death toll is rising rapidly
*
Starvation in Gaza is destroying communities – and will leave generational scars
Mohammed’s skeletal arms stick out of a romper with a grinning emoji-face and the slogan “smiley boy”, which in a Gaza hospital reads as a cruel joke. He spends much of the day crying from hunger, or gnawing at his own emaciated fingers.
At seven months old, he weighs barely 4kg (9lbs) and this is the second time he has been admitted for treatment. His face is gaunt, his limbs little more than bones covered in baggy skin and his ribs protrude painfully from his chest. Continue reading...

While the threat of the far right gets euphemised (populism, left behind etc) and their politics legitimised, any alternative left of centre gets exaggerated and ridiculed so that we are left with the bad and the worse as alternatives
