Does anyone have a fact check for this assertion that Joanna Howe - abortion abolitionist - is Opus Dei?

Precisely. Well parsed. 👏

Good question. Good chance both. Nigeria and Venezuela are oil targets.

Saw an interesting piece from an influencer whose wife’s family are still in Venezuela, and how much they reject the capitalist world’s spin on the place on balance. 🤷‍♀️

Yes. Typical of these extremist movements to have a public face that makes their authoritarian, overbearing message sound palatable. Behind the scenes, they despise us and our sins.

Yes. Agreed.

I think we’d all be surprised the number of people who don’t know much or are stuck in a past where we didn’t understand the right of the colonised to resist.

👌👌

Blocking you because I’ve dealt with sealioning before and it’s exhausting.

I am assuming you are sealioning or naive in your erasure of a slow rolling (now escalating) genocide/ethnic cleansing to create the state. The aggro at Jewish people in the ME was largely created by this. Jewish people have flourished in the West since WW2. While Israel cooperates with far right.

Fact. I think there are some pols scared of pressure groups. Maybe donors. I think many may not know how toxic that edge of Israeli Jewish nationalism is, and are doing their best not to be genuinely antisemitic, believing the nonsense that Jews=Israel. Some have been indoctrinated on trips.

Gamer. Figures.

Online radicalisation into Western chauvinism is a real problem.

The creation of Hebrew from its archaic shards was a tool to reinforce a European population’s claim to the region. Erasure of Yiddish was a tragedy of self-loathing. See the antisemitism of some of Israel’s founders.

Also after Muslims. It’s a specific, toxic subset of Zionism that equates Muslims with the old enemy, or worse. They’d rather ally with Neo Nazis, believing that’s the safer option. I’d interpret that as a variant of racism. They’d rather risk the white group clinging to goals of their eradication.

In 2016, when I said that our interventions in the Middle East made it fitting that we took a fair share of the displaced, Greg Sheridan of The Australian told me it was “moral cowardice.” This is Cold War 2.0 talk: any unethical position is fine to defend White? Christian? West from mixing. 🤮

Note that the West’s centuries of colonisation, industrialisation, neoliberal manipulation of global conditions for corporate/Western predation have created many/most of the conditions people are seeking relief from. The power elites know vast numbers will be living in uninhabitable latitudes soon.

Note the One Nationers will have a eugenicist argument for this.

*all Jews are native to the Levant* and *Arabs stole their indigenous culture*. Sheesh. Funny how the founders of modern Israel were open about being a Western colonial project and, more than any other settler colonial enterprise, Jewish extremists have to erase that component.

Yes. Jewish extremist

Yikes

I can’t speak to evil. I can suggest that there is a version of Zionism that has poisoned itself with a hatred of Muslims, imagining them as a new N@zi.

That minority being the Advance-adjacent Zionists.
