CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY: Elon Musk and Steve Bannon can make Nazi salutes in public, even on television, with zero consequences. Charlottesville white supremacists can chant ‘Jews will not replace us’ with zero consequences.
Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Kanye West can brazenly spew antisemitic hate, with zero consequences. Kanye can even sell Swastika T-shirts.
Yet a student protesting against the indiscriminate slaughter of tens of thousands of women and children in Gaza is the problem. Never mind the Nazis, let’s get those Muslims. Just in case it wasn’t clear, not all Muslims are terrorists, a conditioned belief that is a side effect of 9/11 and the War on Terror.
Americans, and let’s be honest, most of Western civilization have been fed this propaganda for decades.
The West has literally killed hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Muslims over the past 35 years. Israel has been allowed to do what no other civilised country would ever get away with. They have committed one atrocity after another with zero consequences.
America has made sure of it. This mollycoddling of Israel is a direct consequence of a distorted religious ideology permeating the halls of Congress and beyond.
The flames of anti immigration sentiment is being fanned in Europe, the U.K., and America. I’ve been patiently biding my time, waiting for the opportunity to introduce Douglas Murray, militant critic of immigration into Europe and of Islam in general.
He has written a number of books on the topic and is a staunch defender of Israel. He calls himself a Cultural Christian and promotes the Great Replacement conspiracy theory. He is the British version of Tucker Carlson.
ANTI-ISRAEL CRACKDOWN: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US has revoked at least 300 foreign students’ visas as part of President Donald Trump’s effort to clamp down on pro-Palestinian protesters on university campuses.
“Maybe more than 300 at this point,” he said while speaking to reporters on a visit to Guyana. “We do it every day, every time I find one of these lunatics.”
Rubio was asked to confirm how many student visas the administration had revoked in its crackdown on rhetoric at universities that it considers anti-Israeli.
The remarks follow immigration officials detention of a doctoral Turkish student attending Tufts University – an arrest the secretary defended.
A video of the student, Rumeysa Ozturk, being taken away by masked, plain-clothes officers to an unmarked car outside Boston, Massachusetts, has gone viral and sparked protests online.
Ms Ozturk is a Fullbright Scholar on an F-1 student visa and is in a doctoral program for Child Study and Human Development at Tufts.
Rubio was asked on Thursday why the Turkish student’s visa was revoked.
“Here’s why: I’ve said it everywhere, and I’ll say it again,” Rubio said. “If you apply for a student visa to come to the United States and you say you’re coming not just to study, but to participate in movements that vandalize universities, harass students, take over buildings, and cause chaos, we’re not giving you that visa.”
It is currently unclear whether Ms Ozturk has been charged with anything.
Rubio did not provide any of the specific allegations against the 30-year-old, who has participated in pro-Palestinian protests. The Tufts student also co-wrote an opinion piece in the student newspaper last year that called for her university to divest from companies with ties to Israel and acknowledge “Palestinian genocide”.
“Based on patterns we are seeing across the country, her exercising her free speech rights appears to have played a role in her detention,” Mahsa Khanbabai, Ms Ozturk’s lawyer, told Reuters.
The arrests are a part of Trump’s pledge to combat what the administration has classified as antisemitism, which was written into an executive order in January.
Since then, the White House has also revoked $400m (£308m) in Columbia funding over allegations the university failed to combat antisemitism on its campus, and threatened to do the same to other universities.
One of the highest profile arrests involves Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist, who remains in a Louisiana detention facility without charges.
