Middle aged anti-fascist and left libertarian in South London. In to: dub, country and western, critical theory, Yiddish, black history, internationalism, trade unions, salt beef. Fan of: Omar Aziz, Bayard Rustin, Hannah Arendt, Cesaria Evora.
Deeply un-surprised that right-wing anti-vaccine activist Alon Mizrahi, recently feted by lots of western leftists for literally no other reason than that he is a Jew who hates Israel (eg he has been promoted by Owen Jones), is now singing the praises of Nazi Nick Fuentes.

Over in the other place, Alon Mizrahi has finally got the attention he's seeking as a radical anti-Zionist Mizrahi.
But as I say to friends: don't get excited, you never know how long this phase would last.
Only a decade ago, Mizrahi was a regular writer for the hard-right Israeli website Mida.

Really scary report on the Prarieland case, the Trump regime’s intensification of its war on antifa:
"According to the government’s case, the defendants’ all-black clothing, handheld radios, and use of encrypted messaging apps serve as evidence, not of their being security-conscious protesters in a period of escalating political repression but, rather, of being members of a 'militant enterprise'."
These Dallas Residents Are on the Front Lines of Trump’s War Against “Antifa”
If convicted, people who showed up to a protest could face “decades of prison time,” the National Lawyers Guild says.

I’m not generally a fan of if-the-boot-was-on-the-other-foot counterfactuals, but can you imagine what the UK media would be doing if one of Corbyn’s closest politician allies was found to be a Russian agent? Why is Farage not being held over the coals for this?
