I warned about this many years ago and said that Meloni had to be assassinated ASAP. No one listened. Now:

How many innocent refugees will die as a result of this? Probably eventually more than the numbers who will die in all the wars of the 21st century combined?

What missing from the house fire story. The guy holding the hose set the house fire
Tucker Carlson’s Own Lawyers: “Tucker Carlson is not to be believed. No rational person takes him seriously.”
Cenk: “I trust Tucker when he says he’s anti-war! I seriously believe he can be our ally on this issue!”
Tucker Carlson’s Lawyers: “Dude. What did we JUST say? Are you trying to convince people that you’re irrational?”
tucker might not be wearing a bow tie, but tucker's always wearing a bow tie - if you catch my drift.
Mehdi hit the nail on the head. It doesn't matter what Tucker says because we know he will say anything when it's convenient. I would put Cenk in the exact same boat. Cenk isn't a good-hearted naive leftist. He is obfuscating and being disingenuous for personal reasons, aligning himself with Tucker Carlson in hopes that Tucker will rise to the top of the post-Trump Republican Party.
It's the same reason we don't trust MTG after she split from Trump. These people are still republicans with alterior motives. When Trump is gone they'll go back to bigoted ways.
Interesting how you managed not to even once mention MTG being on the side of russia in their war on Ukraine.
Cenk and Ana are some of the best examples of true centrists.
Fwiw Cenk did spend a lot of time and energy painting Trump as antiwar lol
Ok. I'm about to use some Cenk, Ana logic...Netanyahu called the ongoing military engagement in Lebanon, "the gateway to peace." Take the win. I don't agree with EVERYTHING he's done, but he says he's on the side of peace so it must be true. Who cares about a man's character and actions?

superficial reading might be well you know Russia allied with Iran Iran taking a beating and therefore Russia Iran down
9:319 minutes, 31 secondsRussia down but actually Russia up tragically right and Russia up a because of the price of oil b because of the
9:399 minutes, 39 secondslack of interceptors that uh the United States can provide to Ukrainians
...
to have a world in which it's the survival of the fittest that basically you know is the name of the

Hmm, Albania
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albania%E2%80%93Israel_relations
Albania was the only European country, of those occupied by the Axis powers of World War II, that emerged from World War II with a larger Jewish population than it had before the Holocaust. In 1999, Israel took in Kosovar Albanian refugees from the Kosovo War, providing them with medical care, food, and accommodations. In 2018, a monument dedicated to former Israeli President and Prime Minister Shimon Peres was erected in Tirana to honor his memory. Also in 2018, Albanian Ambassador to the UN Besiana Kadare of Muslim-majority Albania co-hosted an event at the United Nations with Jewish-majority Israel and Catholic-majority Italy, celebrating the translation of the Talmud into Italian for the first time.
In November 2019, after a deadly earthquake struck Albania, Israel sent Israel Defense Forces (IDF) military engineer troops to Albania to search through the rubble for survivors and rescue them, assess whether buildings were structurally sound, and provide Albanians who had been evacuated from their homes with waterproof tents to shelter them. In January 2020, Albanian President Ilir Meta met with Israel Defense Forces soldiers during an official visit in Israel, embraced them, thanked them for their assistance, and awarded them the Albanian Golden Medal of the Eagle.

In other words, rightists who do not express racism are not ideologically opposed to racism, but rather at that point in time merely consider it inconvenient to express their racism. Even when they appear to criticize other rightists for expressing racism, they are criticizing on the grounds of optics only.
This is logically to be expected: anyone who is pro-Western must at least not mind Western civilization's extensive history of racism. (They generally believe that "non-whites" even despite being victims of racism should be grateful to "whites", as "non-whites" still got (*gasp*) MODERNITY only thanks to "whites". ::) )

I actually found kirk more tolerable during Trump 1.0, where he would shut down Groypers for their racism and talked about things like "stapling greencard to diplomas"
Now, with merger of ZC and BS, with many "non racist" Zionists becoming explicitly racist toward "non Whites", he has become explicitly racist as well.

"But how can we do this when even non Western societies are far from gnostic (i.e. valuing reproductive sex over all else), and our primary aim is destroying Western civilization?"
There is no better time to do this than now, as world population has never been as high as it is now, and the environment has never been worse than it is now.
Antinatalism is inherently anti-Western first and foremost, as Western civilization is the most pronotalist civilization in that it alone promises to expand into outer space which would enable the largest future potential increase in reproduction:

Russia 2.0 every step of the way, terrifying seeing the direction US is headed towards.
In the name of “protecting women” these people beat a woman unconscious.
Looks like the perfect time for a lesbian to use 2nd amendment
Cenk of tyt has expressed that coming to the defense of trans individuals is a losing strategy for democrats, that it is taking the bait on culture wars, and I could not disagree more vehemently.
What is up with the homosexual transphobia?!
A persecuted person attacking another persecuted person all on behalf of the agenda of the people persecuting people.
Juat as there has been no shortage of "non-white" Eurocentrists willing to throw other "non-whites" under the bus in order to (they hope) be accepted by "whites", similarly there have been (as Kulinski accurately points out) far too many LGBs willing to throw Ts under the bus in order to (they hope) be accepted by cishets. I had predicted this even earlier, as I was the first to point out how some of the most performatively egregious MAP-phobes I have encountered have been LGBTs trying to earn acceptance at the adult supremacist table. Of course back then everyone reacted by attacking me for defending MAPs. But did the Ts throwing MAPs under the bus know they would be the next to be thrown under the bus? I did.

Muslim Congressman Abe Hamadeh endorsing Hindu Vivek Ramaswamy as the “conservative” option for Ohio’s next Governor.
Exactly what the Founding Fathers envisioned when they wrote the Constitution and built this country.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GkrmyKSW8AErPr8?format=jpg&name=large)
I predict a Vance/Vivek showdown in 2028, similar to the Masters/Hamadeh showdown, given that both Masters and Vance are Thiel acolytes. The question is if Ramaswamy will have the guts to take on his "friend" and classmate Vance, given the latter has made his racist views against Indians clear. Vivek easily surpasses the mediocrity Vance in intellect (who probably got into Yale through quotas favoring "working class" (read: "White") applicants and also veterans, and whose only claim to fame is a stupid book that was probably ghostwritten by Amy Chua), so it should be a cakewalk.

Reducing Illegal Immigration Best Way To Stop Germany’s Far Right, Says Angela Merkel
No, the best way to stop the far-right is to physically exterminate them. Also, it is legal to seek asylum. Pushing back asylum seekers is what is illegal. Finally, pushing back asylum seekers is not stopping the far-right, but ideologically conceding to the far-right. Merkel has already done so, given that she now describes seeking asylum as "illegal immigration" when in the past she knew better.
Critics have long argued that Ms Merkel’s refusal to push back large numbers of asylum seekers during the 2015 mass refugee influx at the Austrian border led to more than one million arrivals and fuelled the rise of the far-right party.
From the first time the AfD advocated pushing back asylum seekers, every AfD member should have been arrested and burned alive in public with the burnings televised. Their homes should then have been given to refugees for free.
She told the BBC that if Africans do not see a future for themselves at home, “the problem of immigration will only increase for us in Europe”.
How is it ever a problem when people are allowed to choose for themselves where they want to live?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/frances-macron-visit-serbia-possible-102120838.html
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron starts a two-day state visit to Serbia on Thursday with the focus on the possible sale of 12 Rafale multi-purpose fighter jets to the country, which has maintained close ties to Russia despite its invasion of Ukraine.
Macron is to meet populist President Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade on Thursday evening, when the deal reportedly worth 3 billion euros ($3.3 billion) is expected to be announced.
...
The potential acquisition of Rafale jets would allow Serbia to modernize its air force, which consists mainly of Soviet-made MiG-29 fighters and aging Yugoslav combat aircraft.
The only thing that should be done with Serbia is total extermination of its population (<7 million) and then adding its former territory to Bosnia.

Rightism has infected the EU:
Macron Rules Out a Leftwing Government: What Next?
In this video, we’re going to look at what’s happened over the past few days; why a new coalition looks increasingly unlikely; and what might happen next.

Comments:
The right: wow Macron just shat in his pants!
The left: yep he definitely just shat himself.
Macron: I know my actions are correct if both the extremes are criticising me!
The pitfalls of defining yourself as a centrist.
Because Neo-liberal no-comprimises Macron is the definitation of a centrist. And somehow a coalition of mostly center-left parties gets tagged as extreme leftists...
They are too left leaning for me but being considered extreme is a strech

We keep hearing about ‘legitimate concerns’ over immigration. The truth is, there are none
...
The political “centre” usually reacts to the far right by denouncing its methods and distancing themselves from its coarse, racist rhetoric – but ultimately conceding to its underlying argument. In the days after the general election, Tony Blair advised Keir Starmer that to ward off the far right, he should celebrate what is good about immigration but be sure to “control” it. No matter how respectable and sensible such advice may seem to some within our political classes, the sentiment that “controlling” immigration is a way to appease socially conservative voters is one cause of the corrosiveness.
Why? Because it implies that a fear of immigration is a legitimate concern, and that reducing immigration is the appropriate method to assuage that fear. It is this sentiment that could shape what comes next.
Finally mainstream journalism is beginning to get it!
The choice is not ignore or accept. Politics is about persuading people of another way; to think this can’t be done is patronising as well as dangerous.
The government could change the narrative by making the history of empire and migration a statutory party of the curriculum, and by actively countering racism in the press, among opposition parties and within its own ranks. But it could also use this moment to change people’s material circumstances by getting rid of “hostile environment” policies and providing safe routes of travel (one of the only viable solutions to stop people from having to cross the Channel). It could also make visas cheaper, provide better housing, simplify labyrinthine Home Office processes and end temporary, exploitative visas, giving people the ability to come here on decent terms and stay if they want to.
...
the anti-immigrant sloganeering needs to stop: whether it’s the appeasing of “legitimate concerns”, a commitment to “stop the boats” or the more-acceptable-in-polite-society promises to put “controls on immigration”. They have all played their part in leading us here.
Anyone who opposes freedom of movement is initiating violence against all who wish to move. The only ethical response to initiated violence is absolutely ruthless retaliatory violence.

Eric Ciotti of the mainstream right Republicans party announced a surprise alliance with the RN this week
...
some on the right remain open to the RN.
Francois-Xavier Bellamy, the party's lead candidate in Sunday's European Parliament vote, said he would "of course" vote for an RN candidate over the left in a second-round run-off.
About Ciotti:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89ric_Ciotti#Foreign_policy
He claims an "immense admiration" for the state of Israel and wants the recognition of Jerusalem as the unified capital of that country, as well as the transfer of the French embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, in order to "break with a form of diplomatic tradition that is globally pro-Arab" of France.[35]

Our enemies report:
https://vdare.com/posts/marco-rubio-once-all-in-on-amnesty-backs-deportation
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, interviewed on Meet the Press last Sunday, totally reversed himself on the subject of deporting illegal aliens.
...
Senator Rubio was, of course, to quote one of our own writers from nine years ago, ”a top quisling in the Gang of Eight amnesty scheme.”
Anyone who ever thought Rubio sincerely cared about refugees is a fool. Cases like these are evidence of how the perceived moderate position has been shifting rightwards (not leftwards as asserted by Musk etc.).

People who lean socialistic tend to feel good about community, sharing, and collaboration over competition. They often feel that the greatest good accrues from self-sacrifice for the common good and feel good about redistribution until all lives are much more equal. Of course, that was foundational to Karl Marx’s famous exhortation: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
Such a psychology translates into sadness, often anger, even fury, that top executives make millions, owning mansions while other people, despite government and private charity, live a meager existence. Socialist-leaning people also tend to feel government is more aligned with their values than is the private sector.
...
In addition, capitalists are more likely to believe that psychologist Abraham Maslow's theory of self-actualization over social contribution leads people toward selfishness and away from prioritizing needs of the collective. Capitalists point to the communes in the U.S. and kibbutizim in Israel, most of which have long since disbanded because, in practice, individualism (ahem) trumped the collectivist ideal.
Hence, people who lean capitalist are more likely to support Republicans, including Donald Trump, even though they may dislike his personal style, his past, and that he’s been inconsistent in his capitalism, for example, imposing a tariff on Chinese goods. Capitalist-leaning people ignore those because they so advocate many of his other positions—perhaps most conspicuous, his calling for a merit-based immigration system, as opposed to the Democrats’ approach of amnesty for all except for major felons. Also, capitalists' belief in people's tendency to selfishness leads them to embrace Trump and other Republicans' wariness of trust but rather an insistence on stronger sanctions on Iran, a bolder defense and that Europe be pressured to pay its fair share of NATO expenses.

Western Capitalist way of life Make People into Degenerates
Studies suggest that mere exposure to money, for example, can increase self-centeredness and diminish altruism (Vohs, Mead, & Goode, 2006). Societies that have embraced market economies tend to foster individualism (Taras, Steel & Kirkman, 2016) and exacerbate inequality (Bettache, Chiu & Beattie, 2020) over time.
Social class also influences self-perception, with individuals from higher economic classes placing greater emphasis on personal choice and achievement (Stephens, Markus & Townsend, 2007). Moreover, marketing strategies stoke the flames of materialism and have a significant impact on well-being (Kasser & Kanner, 2004).
Capitalism also interacts with biases and stereotypes related to race, gender, and competition. Discrimination often arises when capitalism prompts individuals to view others as competitors (Bobo & Hutchings, 1996).
Gender biases, for example, tend to be more prevalent in societies with greater economic inequality (Glick et al., 2000). Neoliberal ideologies that commodify race can further perpetuate racism (Goldberg, 2009). Even the widespread bias in which individuals perceive themselves as "above average" can be traced back to capitalist values of individual success and competition (Zell et al., 2020). By examining these biases in the context of competitive capitalism, we gain a deeper understanding of their origins.

Mainstream journalism gradually catching up to the obvious:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/13/opinion/european-union-far-right.html
Hans Kundnani’s mixed heritage—he was born of a Dutch mother and Indian father—frames his very readable critique of the European project (the EU), Eurowhiteness. When his parents arrived in the UK in the 1960s his Indian father was, he tells us, in some ways less of an outsider than his mother – he could vote, she could not. In his lifetime however, non-white Commonwealth citizens were “reimagined as immigrants” while the rights of Europeans continually grew.
https://trueleft.createaforum.com/news/ethnonepotism/
Continuing:
the focus on divisions within the bloc obscures a much more disturbing development taking place beneath the surface: a coming together of the center right and the far right, especially on questions around identity, immigration and Islam. With European parliamentary elections next year, this convergence is bringing into clearer view the possibility of something like a far-right European Union. Until recently, such a thing would have seemed unthinkable. Now it’s distinctly plausible.
Actually, I had warned about it well over a decade ago.
For the past decade, European politics have widely been understood in terms of a binary opposition between liberalism and illiberalism. During the refugee crisis in 2015, for example, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Mr. Orban were seen as political opposites—she the figurehead of liberalism, he of illiberalism.
Since then, the convergence between the center right and the far right in Europe has gone further. The lesson that center-right parties drew from the rise of right-wing populism was that they needed to adopt some of its rhetoric and policies. Conversely, some far-right parties have become more moderate, albeit in a selective way. At a national level, parties from the two camps have governed together, both formally, as in Austria and Finland, and informally, as in Sweden.
Yet the most striking illustration of this convergence is the harmonious relationship between the European center right and Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the post-fascist Brothers of Italy, who became prime minister of Italy last year. As soon as she indicated that she would not disrupt the bloc’s economic policy and would be supportive of Ukraine, the European People’s Party was willing to work with her—and its leader, Manfred Weber, even sought to form an alliance with her. The center right, it turns out, doesn’t have a problem with the far right. It just has a problem with those who defy E.U. institutions and positions.
The two, in fact, can agree on a lot—something that plays out most clearly in immigration policy. In contrast to its progressive image, the European Union has, like Donald Trump, sought to build a wall—in this case, in the Mediterranean—to stop migrants from arriving on its shores. Since 2014, more than 28,000 people have died there as they desperately tried to reach Europe. Human Rights Watch said earlier this year that the bloc’s policy could be summed up in three words: “Let them die.”
The European Union’s distinctive approach to migration depends on what might be called the offshoring of violence. Even as it has welcomed millions of Ukrainian refugees, the bloc has paid authoritarian regimes in North African countries to stop migrants from sub-Saharan Africa from reaching Europe, often brutally.
We have covered this double-standard extensively.
today’s far right speaks not only on behalf of the nation but also on behalf of Europe. It has a civilizational vision of a white, Christian Europe that is menaced by outsiders, especially Muslims.
...
figures like President Emmanuel Macron of France have also begun to frame international politics as a clash of civilizations in which a strong, united Europe must defend itself.
In this respect, Mr. Macron is not so far from far-right figures like Mr. Wilders who talk in terms of a threatened European civilization. His electoral success in the Netherlands could be a prelude, many fear, to a major rightward shift in the European parliamentary elections next June. That would give the far right substantial power to shape the next commission even more than the current one—both directly, with the possibility of far-right figures in top positions, and indirectly, with their concerns channeled by the center right.
This is why I said back in 2015 that Hungary should have been nuked the moment it refused to accept refugees. The reason all of the above is happening is because Hungary was not held accountable promptly and ruthlessly.

https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-migration-deal-roberta-metsola-refugees-migration-asylum-rules/
BRUSSELS — The European Union on Wednesday broke years of political deadlock by agreeing on a deal that will significantly change how the bloc limits migrant entry, moves migrants around EU countries and effectively makes it easier to deport unsuccessful asylum seeker applicants.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola hailed the deal as historic. Negotiators worked through the night to agree on the overhaul of the EU’s asylum procedures, signalling a shift to the right
...
Under the agreement, which still needs to be formally ratified, front-line countries in Southern Europe will institute a stricter asylum procedure at their non-EU borders and will be more empowered to deport rejected asylum seekers. Countries further inland will be given a choice of whether to accept a certain number of migrants or pay into a joint EU fund.
...
The deal comes just six months before the EU election, with polls showing a surge in support for far-right, anti-immigration parties in countries like Germany and the Netherlands. The debate around immigration is set to be a decisive and divisive element of elections in Europe in 2024.
...
Speaking to reporters in Brussels later on Wednesday morning, Metsola acknowledged that the pact was “not a perfect package” and denied it mirrored proposals from the far right, arguing it was a instead a political compromise reached amongst centrist parties.
“It’s a center that does not copy the right, it goes on pragmatism,” Metsola said.
STFU. Here is the reality:
While EU officials celebrated the agreement on the migration pact first presented by the Commission in 2020, human rights organizations and migrant advocacy groups have warned of the deal’s implications on migrants and asylum seekers reaching Europe’s borders.
More than 50 nonprofit organizations warned in an open letter that the migration pact would allow countries to arbitrarily detain children, remove migrants to what the deal called “safe third countries,” and increase “racial profiling.”
“Today is a catastrophic day for people fleeing war and violence. With its asylum reform, the European Union is focusing on detention camps, fences and deportations to unsafe third countries. This is a compromise at the expense of human rights,” said Christos Christou, international president of Médecins Sans Frontières.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/20/france-immigration-bill-passed-controversy-emmanuel-macron-marine-le-pen
Emmanuel Macron’s ruling centrist party was divided and soul-searching on Wednesday after a strict new immigration law was approved by parliament but contained so many hardline measures that the far-right Marine Le Pen claimed it as an “ideological victory” for her own anti-immigration platform.
...
Le Pen, leader of the anti-immigration, far-right National Rally party, said her party would vote in favour of the bill, calling it an “ideological victory”. The far-right MP Edwige Diaz described the bill as “incontestably inspired by Marine Le Pen”.
...
Opposition politicians on the left pointed out that when Macron was re-elected for a second-term in 2022, he had acknowledged that many voters chose him not for his own ideas but to keep out the far-right ideas of his opponent Marine Le Pen.
Cyrielle Chatelain, a Green MP, told parliament there was a feeling of “shame and betrayal” that Macron had instead brought in the ideas of the far-right with this bill.
This will keep happening until leftists understand that when rightists call for violence against refugees, the only genuine countermeasure is for leftists to call for total extermination of those who call for violence against refugees.

France’s New Immigration Bill Explained
On Tuesday evening, the French Senate passed an immigration bill that would significantly restrict asylum and deportation policy in France. But despite the passing, it is already proving to be a controversial topic, both because of its content and because Macron may once again be forced to use Article 49.3 to force the bill through the National Assembly. But can this immigration bill once again send the protesters to the streets, or can Macron with his deep unpopularity see it through?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X09A8sjQLac
seven million people
Almost seven million people, or 10.3% of all people in France that year were immigrants, meaning "born a foreigner in a foreign country," it said. In comparison, 6.5% of French residents hailed from abroad in 1968, it added. More than a third of immigrants in France in 2021 had acquired French citizenship, it said.

German Opposition Wants New Citizens To Accept Israel; 'Can't Take Anti-Semitic Refugees...'
A German opposition party has called for measures to combat anti-semitism amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine war. The Christian Democratic Union has urged that anti-Israeli activities be "put to an end". The leader of the party, Friedrich Merz, said that the ability to become a German citizen should be linked to respect for Israel's sovereignty.

Comments:
Europeans should have thought about that before they started creating refugees via western colonialism and constantly interfering in Africa and the Middle-East. You don't get to go around the world destroying people's ways of living and then run away when the consequences for your action's come back to haunt you.
The DownFall Of Germany Is So Insane😂
Forcing someone to like their oppressors ....how ludicrous is that
(Rightist) Europeans want to run away and wall themselves off and not have to face the consequences for the western colonialism that they all participated in. This is how you know they are all COWARDS! Walling yourself off from your colonial victims sounds so Israeli these days...

Germany bans public grieving and solidarity with Palestine
Germany is home to Europe’s largest Palestinian community, with roughly 80,000 Palestinians living in the country. For years, German authorities have tried to stifle Palestinian activism in the country, viewing it as a nuisance to its explicit policy of “unconditional support for Israel.” Demonstrations, such as one earlier this year to mark the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, have been sporadically banned in recent years and organizations, like the Palestinian prisoner solidarity network Samidoun, have also come under increasing scrutiny.
Yet the criminalization of solidarity with Palestine on a national level has taken on entirely new dimensions since October 7.
Talking points that were two weeks ago only uttered by far-right AfD politicians are now being openly expressed by politicians from all parliamentary parties in Germany. Playing off the idea of “imported antisemitism,” the social democratic Chancellor Olaf Scholz is now arguing that “we must finally deport on a large scale” residents who do not hold German citizenship and openly protest against Israel. The Christian Democrats (CDU) are even demanding that the recognition of Israel’s right to exist must become a precondition for German citizenship.
Samidoun has been made into public enemy number one, as the media presents the group as a bastion for “sympathizers of terror” that poses “a particular danger, because as a secular organization, they are building bridges between Islamists and radical leftists.” In a speech before parliament on October 12, Chancellor Scholz personally announced a ban on Samidoun along with a ban on the activities of Hamas in Germany.
The authorities have been particularly hostile towards any signs of solidarity with Palestine.
Sonnenallee, a busy street in the district in which many Arab migrants live, has become a focal point of dissent against Israel’s attack on Gaza. The police patrol Sonnenallee every evening with tight controls on the public squares. Racial profiling and brutal arrests are commonplace and often recorded and posted to social media.
As other European states are witnessing mass protests in solidarity with Palestine, the German state has been able to use force and violence to prevent such scenes on German streets. Yet it is unlikely that the government will be able to ban these sentiments of solidarity indefinitely, especially as the images of Israel’s brutal attack on Gaza continue to circulate around the world.

France bans pro-Palestine rallies, cracks down on protesters amid Gaza war
Ban comes as Israeli bombs kill more than 1,400 people, wound thousands and wipe out neighbourhoods in Gaza.
The French police have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters who took to the streets in support of the Palestinians, shortly after the government moved to ban all such rallies.
Police broke up a rally in capital Paris on Thursday, following orders from Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin to ban all pro-Palestine demonstrations in the name of “public order”[Then Why do you not also ban pro-Israeli demonstrations in the name of “public order”?.] Critics called the order an attack on civil liberties.
“We live in a country of civil law, a country where we have the right to take a stand and to demonstrate. [It is unfair] to forbid for one side and to authorise for the other and that does not reflect the reality of Palestine,” 29-year-old Charlotte Vautier told the Reuters news agency.
French minister Darmanin also said at least 24 people have been arrested across France for “anti-Semitic acts” since Saturday, adding that he believes any foreigner who commits such acts should be expelled from France “without delay”.
No restrictions have been announced for events in support of Israel.
“France is doing everything alongside Israeli authorities and our partners to bring them home safely because France never abandons its children[ Unless their "black" or Arab],” Macron said, adding that Israel has the right to destroy Hamas but must do so while “preserving civilian populations”.

It's OK for rejection to be white
France’s top body rejects contention by campaigners that racial profiling by police is systemic
France’s highest administrative authority on Wednesday rejected an effort by rights campaigners to end what they allege is a systemic and generalized practice by French police of targeting Black people and people of Arab descent for stops and checks.
Local grassroots organizations and international rights groups had hoped that a favorable ruling from the Council of State could force deep reforms within French law enforcement to end racial profiling.
Plaintiffs expressed dismay, although some drew comfort from the ruling’s recognition that discriminatory checks do happen and aren’t rare.
“These high judicial authorities have failed to understand the violence and exclusion generated by these police practices,” Issa Coulibaly, the head of a Paris youth association involved in the compalint, said in a statement.
“They failed to grasp the historic opportunity to improve the daily lives of millions of their fellow citizens, particularly those perceived as Black and Arab,” said Coulibaly, who is Black.
The Council of State is France’s ultimate arbiter on the use of power by authorities. The plaintiffs’ lawsuit, France’s first class-action case against police, was filed in 2021. It included a 220-page file that was chock full of examples of racial profiling by French police.
The government has denied systemic discrimination by police.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/11/court-police-france-racial-profiling-identity-checks-discriminatory
Court finds police in France often use racial profiling in identity checks
Practice ruled to be discriminatory, but Conseil d’État says it does not have power to force change in policy
France’s highest administrative court has recognised discriminatory police identity checks based on racial profiling exist in France and are not isolated cases, but said it could not change political policy on the issue.
In a class action against the French state, six French and international organisations including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the Open Society Justice Initiative had asked for French authorities to be found at fault for failing to prevent the widespread use of racial profiling.
They had asked the court to impose measures to make France end the practice, arguing that non-white people across France, notably young men perceived to be black or from north African backgrounds, are routinely singled out and stopped in the street, asked for identity papers and frisked without explanation – often several times a day and from as young as 10 or 11 years old.
The court – the Conseil d’État – stopped short of calling the issue systemic, but did say such checks were “not limited to isolated cases”.
Significantly, it also said the practice amounted to “discrimination for the people who have had an identity check on the basis of physical characteristics associated with their real or perceived origin”. But it added that it did not have the jurisdiction to force a change in political policy.
Maïté De Rue, a senior lawyer at the Open Society Justice Initiative who is involved in the case, said: “The decision of the state council is extremely disappointing. It recognised that ethnic profiling is a serious and pervasive problem in France.
“But it missed the historic opportunity to order the French authorities to take measures to to end this racial discrimination, in compliance with their international obligations.”
Bénédicte Jeannerod of Human Rights Watch said she hoped this would stop what she called the “posture of denial” of successive governments over the existence of the problem of racial profiling in France.
Issa Coulibaly, the head of Pazapas, a local youth group based in the Paris suburb of Belleville, who was part of the legal action, said the court had “failed to understand the violence and exclusion generated by these police practices”.
He added: “They failed to grasp the historic opportunity to improve the daily lives of millions of their fellow citizens, particularly those perceived as black and north African.
“It was a missed opportunity. The court had the opportunity to change the daily reality of people subjected to this. They considered they couldn’t do it. And that raises a lot of questions. How will that be seen by people affected by racial profiling?”
He said people would once again feel that the problem was being minimised.
Coulibaly said he had turned to the court because politics and politicians had failed to address the problem for 40 years. “And today the court is sending us back to politics, but for decades the political class has failed to acted on this,” he said.
In 2017, the French rights ombudsman estimated that men perceived to be black or north African were 20 times more likely than others to be stopped by police for identity checks.
France’s interior minister, Gérald Darmanin, told a parliamentary commission in July: “It’s false to say there is systemic racism in the national police.”
The judgment will be coming to you very soon France.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/german-opposition-leader-faces-criticism-113145409.html
Friedrich Merz, who leads the center-right Christian Democratic Union, assailed the government's approach to immigration in an appearance Wednesday on Welt television. He said people “go crazy” when they see large numbers of unsuccessful asylum applicants staying and getting “full benefits.”
“They sit at the doctor's and get their teeth redone, and the German citizens next door can't get appointments,” he alleged.
...
Health Minister Karl Lauterbach told the daily German newspaper Bild that Merz was stirring up hatred against migrants “by apparently deliberately creating the false impression that they steal expensive care from Germans.”
When in reality:
The head of the German dentists' association, Christoph Benz, was quoted in Friday's edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper as saying that “dentists are not being overrun” and that he hadn't heard of any practice having an appointment backlog because of having to treat large numbers of migrants.
...
reporting had made clear “that what Mr. Merz asserted here largely does not correspond to the facts.”
Asylum-seekers have only limited entitlement to health care during their first 18 months in Germany, though they can see a doctor in cases of acute illness or pain. They would only be able to get dentures in that period if it was urgent.

The French government of Emmanuel Macron has shifted right on migration and security issues, and on Monday, his interior minister, Gerald Darmanin, was heading to Rome for meetings. Darmanin said before he left that France would help Italy maintain its border to prevent people from arriving but was not prepared to take in migrants who have arrived in Lampedusa in recent days.
’’Things are getting very difficult in Lampedusa. That’s why we should help our Italian friends. But there should not be a message given to people coming on our soil that they are welcomed in our countries no matter what," he said on France’s Europe-1 radio.
‘’Our will is to fully welcome those who should be welcomed, but we should absolutely send back those who have no reason to be in Europe," he said, citing people arriving from Ivory Coast or Guinea or Gambia, saying there is no obvious political reason to give them asylum.

https://us.yahoo.com/news/sunak-gambles-lurch-uk-moderates-040000173.html
(Bloomberg) -- Trailing in the polls, battered by economic headwinds and seeing businesses and the City of London flirt with the Labour Party, Rishi Sunak is rolling the dice that a shift to the right could keep his Conservatives in power.
...
Downing Street’s political shift accelerated this week, starting with the signals the government was willing to row back on some environmental commitments. That’s because the election result in Uxbridge and South Ruislip — Johnson’s old stronghold — showed local opposition to a plan to tackle air pollution by charging drivers of older vehicles. Turning away from green issues is a long-held demand on the climate-skeptic right of Sunak’s party.
...
On Tuesday, the premier dramatically intensified his attacks on Labour, accusing the opposition of being “on the same side” as “criminal gangs” smuggling migrants into the UK.
...
Ministers and advisers told Bloomberg they would amplify difficult debates in the coming months to show voters there are key differences between the Tories and Labour on the pace of the green transition, changing workplace culture, transgender rights and migration.
...
The party will use Brexit-style arguments to appeal to the emotions of older voters who make up the base. Sunak will make the argument that the world is changing, but that the change will be managed carefully — while warning that Labour will move too fast. The rationale for that is visible around Europe, according to the aide, who said Germany, Italy and the Netherlands have seen an electoral pushback against the green agenda.

French government paints a rosy picture for tourism despite unrest over the police killing of a teen
The Eiffel Tower, chateaus in the Loire Valley — and cars on fire. Tourists to France faced a new reality during an eruption of nationwide anger following the police killing of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk.
While hotel owners cite a drop in bookings in some areas, the French government insisted on Thursday that the overall picture for the tourism industry remains rosy, and promised a “great season” for visitors despite the simmering discontent.
Officials from the Ministry of Economy and Finance held a meeting Thursday with representatives of the tourism industry to discuss the consequences that the nationwide unrest following Nahel’s death has had on France’s tourist activity and international image.
The violence ebbed this week, but the roots of the tensions remain.
The Union of Hotel Trades and Industries (UMIH) reported that hotel cancellations in Marseille had reached up to 30% in the wake of the protests, and anticipated that attendance at bars and restaurants in Paris could plummet by half.
Local and national reports cited international flight and hotel cancellations driven by fear, added to the property damages that businesses suffered during several days of violence.
“The fact is that restaurants, hotels, and shops are open today in Paris, Marseille, and Lyon, and this is the most important thing.”
Others said they felt safe because of the prominent police presence in the streets of the French capital. Heavily armed officers patrolled past Dior and Cartier boutiques on the Champs-Elysees avenue this week as part of an exceptional, 45,000-strong nationwide police deployment that led to more than 3,000 arrests — and new concerns about police excesses.
Johan and Jenna Haukbrauer, a couple visiting from Germany for the first time, said they were aware of what was unfolding but were nonetheless not discouraged.
“We checked the news, but we were fine because there are lots of policemen here and security forces, so for us it’s fine,” Johan said.
The job of the police is to serve "white" people and make them feel safe.

Don’t be put off by riots, France tells tourists and foreign investors
France is still safe for tourists despite the ongoing riots, French Economy Minster Bruno Le Maire has said.
Le Maire has made multiple interventions in foreign media to stress that rioting will have no impact on the French tourism season. His calls come as several countries — such as the U.K., the U.S. and Canada — urge their citizens to be particularly careful when traveling to France.
"All the major democracies today are faced with this kind of problem,"[So your admitting that all democracy's have a racism problem.] he told the Daily Telegraph on Wednesday, adding that "our British friends should be happy to visit France and have no fear."
At the same time, the French minister is trying to reassure foreign investors and rating agencies that helping businesses impacted by riots won't result in more public debt.

https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/mass-immigration-doesnt-work-in-sweden/
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson publicly denounced his country’s poor management of immigration this week in a landmark opinion piece for the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet.
The article is just the latest sign of a political volte face in the Scandinavian country’s infamous immigration outlook, but one that makes sense with respect to Kristersson’s Moderate Party’s electoral pact with the right-wing Sweden Democrats, in place since 2022.
...
Kristersson promised a “paradigm shift” in Sweden’s handling of immigration upon entering power last year, vowing to end decades of liberal immigration policy spearheaded by the Social Democrats. Kristersson also referenced Danish asylum policies as a model for Sweden to follow in the coming decade, with Denmark praised for its strict management of asylum intake.
Opinion polling has shown a public preference for more stringent border control as the Sweden Democrats pile pressure on Kristersson’s government not to submit to new EU migration quotas.

https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20221206-macron-makes-second-attempt-to-crack-down-on-illegal-immigration-with-new-law
French President Emmanuel Macron is set to make a second attempt at increasing expulsions of illegal immigrants under fierce pressure from his far-right opponents.
Macron's centrist government unveiled the outlines of a new draft immigration law on Tuesday that will be debated formally in parliament in early 2023.
It comes just four years after a 2018 law with similar objectives, passed during Macron's first term in office, which also aimed to take the heat out of an explosive political issue.
...
Speaking to the Parisien newspaper at the weekend, Macron pitched the new legislation as a means of addressing the historic rise of the far-right National Rally, which in June became the biggest opposition party in parliament.
"We need a policy that is firm and humane in line with our values," the 44-year-old said. "It's the best antidote to the extremes which feed off anxieties."
It is not an antidote. It is acceptance of the RN worldview, which will only increase its confidence.
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who scored 41 percent in the second round of April's presidential election, regularly accuses the government of laxity and "submerging" France with foreigners.
And now with the new law you are telling everyone that you agree with her. Which will only embolden her to push rightwards even harder:
"I don't expect anything (from the new law)," she said on Tuesday. "They will talk to us again about balancing firmness and humanity. We've heard that for decades.
See? You can never defeat evil by appeasing it. The only way to defeat evil is to exterminate it.
Even if it were true (it is not) that France does not have space to house refugees, the correct response is to make space by exterminating the 41% of the population who voted for RN and then giving their former homes to refugees. Indeed, despite France actually having space to house refugees, the 41% of the population who voted for RN should still be exterminated to make refugees safer. This is the only antidote to rightism.
People from 15 different charities and some left-wing MPs demonstrated in front of the national assembly on Tuesday to denounce what they termed the "hostile" attitude of the government to migration.
But the supposedly centrist Macron will never listen to them. Centrists only ever listen to rightists.

Smallest German governing party stalls on citizenship reform
BERLIN (AP) — Senior members of the smallest party in Germany’s coalition government are seeking to hit the brakes on plans to ease the rules for obtaining German citizenship, arguing Monday that the government must first do more to ensure that people who are in the country illegally are deported.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, a member of his center-left party, have signaled in recent days that they're keen to move ahead quickly with liberalizing the rules — one of a series of modernizing reforms that Scholz's three-party coalition agreed to tackle when it took office nearly a year ago.
But senior lawmakers with the pro-business Free Democrats, who tended to ally with the center-right bloc before joining Scholz's coalition last year and who are now struggling in the polls, have pushed back on that plan.

France does what Italy should have done:

France to let migrant boat dock, has harsh words for Italy
PARIS (Reuters) -France said on Thursday it would allow an NGO ship carrying more than 200 migrants rescued in the Mediterranean to dock at the port of Toulon, while harshly criticising Italy for not taking the boat in.
Immigration is a hot-button issue in both countries, and French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the right-wing Italian government's ban on the charity vessel, which had been stuck off Sicily for days, was "reprehensible" and "selfish".
"In this context, France decided on an exceptional basis to make up for the Italian government's unacceptable behaviour and to invite the ship to come to the military port of Toulon," Darmanin told a news conference.
only to then immediately reveal its disingenuousness:
"There is no doubt that it was in Italy's research and rescue zone," said Darmanin, adding "there will be extremely strong consequences for the bilateral relationship".
To start with, France will not take in some 3,000 migrants who had arrived in Italy and which he said Paris had previously agreed to take in. The French would also reinforce controls at its borders with Italy to prevent migrant crossings, he said.
Accepting 200 in exchange for rejecting 3000? Sounds like an attempt to placate rightists:
With French politics veering to the right, and the far-right National Rally (RN) the second biggest-group in the lower house of parliament, President Emmanuel Macron's centrist government is also under mounting pressure over immigration.
Which never works anyway:
The far-right was quick to react to the decision to let the Ocean Viking dock, with the RN's Marine Le Pen tweeting that he was being "dramatically" soft on immigration.

The party is hoping to shape GOP primaries to favor beatable candidates, but some fear they’re playing with fire.
Democrats are attempting to steer the course of Republican primaries at an unprecedented level ahead of November’s midterm elections, spending millions of dollars to promote GOP candidates they view as weak ― even if those candidates embrace the very lies about the 2020 election that the party calls an existential threat to democracy.
[...]
But pundits both on the left and among “Never Trump” conservatives have criticized the strategy as risky, and reminiscent of the party’s hopes in 2016 that Trump himself, a supposedly “unelectable” candidate, would secure the GOP presidential nomination.
“In an environment like this, you want to go against a candidate that gives you the best chance to win. But there are no guarantees in this business,” said Mike Mikus, a Pennsylvania-based Democratic strategist. “But sometimes you have to push the crazy person over the top, and play the odds.”
[...]
Still, Democrats don’t have to go back far to see the potential risks of their strategy. In 2020, national Democrats spent millions trying to boost former Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, a Trump acolyte and anti-immigration zealot, believing he would give their Senate candidate, state Sen. Barbara Bollier, a chance to win in a typically red state.
The campaign failed, with Republicans nominating Rep. Roger Marshall instead. Marshall went on to defeat Bollier in the Senate race by almost 12 percentage points ― a margin indicating Kobach almost certainly would have won the general as well.

High-stakes strategies like this can only succeed if the Democratic Party is willing to go all-in and do whatever it takes to win. But they aren't even willing to press criminal charges against Trump and other coup organizers who have confessed to their crimes, ffs...
This is why there is such a massive risk of Democrats helping to cover up the coup attempt. Why the hell are they helping to push the Overton Window to the right??? They clearly haven't learned anything from 2016 when they spent 24/7 giving free air time to Trump in order to help him.

Trump officials privately mocked pro-choice Sen. Susan Collins for being manipulated into backing then-Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh, sources told Rolling Stone.
...
Some Trump administration officials privately mocked the senior senator from Maine for her public support of Roe, crassly referring to her as a "cheap date," sources told the outlet.
...
A former top Trump aide told Rolling Stone that the belief was that Collins would decide to vote "yes" on her own as long as she got the correct responses from Kavanaugh.
During mock hearings and prep sessions that the Trump administration held for Kavanaugh, the then-prospective justice would avoid revealing how he would vote if an opportunity to overturn Roe arose.
Instead, he would give "lengthy, detailed monologues on dissents, opinions, and precedents," Rolling Stone reported.

Always France and Russia! Somethings just never change! These types of French attitudes are exactly why Hitler invaded France:
Macron says EU is not at war with Russia, warns against ‘humiliating’ Putin
Europe must learn from its past mistakes and make sure no side is humiliated when Russia and Ukraine negotiate for peace, France’s president said on Europe Day (9 May) in Strasbourg.

This post reminds me of this. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Soviet_Treaty_of_Mutual_Assistance)
On May 16, 1935, the Czechoslovak–Soviet Treaty of Alliance was signed after the Soviet treaty with France, which was Czechoslovakia's main ally.
Adolf Hitler justified the remilitarisation of the Rhineland by the ratification of the Franco-Soviet Pact by the French Parliament and claimed that he felt threatened by it. David Lloyd George, a pro-German member of the British House of Commons, stated in that body that Hitler's actions in the wake of the pact had been fully justified to protect his country and that he would have been a traitor to Germany if he had failed to act.[3]
The Franco-Soviet Pact's military provisions were practically useless because of their multiple conditions, such as the requirement for Britain and Italy to approve any action. Their effectiveness was undermined even further by the French government's insistent refusal to accept a military convention stipulating how both armies would co-ordinate their actions in the event of a war against Germany. The result was a symbolic pact of friendship and mutual assistance that had little consequence other than raising the prestige of both parties. However, after 1936, the French lost interest, and all parties in Europe realised that the pact was a dead letter. By 1938, the appeasement policies implemented by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier ended collective security and further encouraged German aggression.[4] The German Anschluss of Austria in 1938 and Munich Agreement, which led to the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and 1939, demonstrated the impossibility of establishing a collective security system in Europe,[5] a policy advocated by Litvinov.[6][7] That and the reluctance of the British and the French governments to sign a full-scale anti-German political and military alliance with the Soviets[8] led to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union and Germany in late August 1939,[9] which indicated the Soviet Union's decisive break with France by becoming an economic ally of Germany.[10]

Ironically, the term "left wing" itself was invented by French freemasons to refer to those who were pro-democracy during the French revolution, in opposition to the monarchist "right wing". But this is the False Left definition of the term. We, as True Leftists, are reclaiming the term.

Why France Has No Left Wing (with any hope of winning) - TLDR News
The French Election's coming round fast, and while Macron looks likely to hold onto his position, it's possible that another candidate could snatch it at the last moment. It could be Le Pen, it could be Zemmour, but one thing's for sure... it'll be a right winger. So in this video, we explain why France has no real left-wing candidates and what's lead to the collapse of the left in the country.

It seems most nations that take the French Revolution as an inspiration do not have a strong left-wing, including the U.S.! Odd how that worked out isn't it?

How Left Is The American Left...And Why Didn't Socialism Catch On Here?
Every minute of every day, the media and most Americans yell about how the Democrats are going "too far left." For the rest of the world, this is an absurd statement, but the average American believes it...why? In this episode, we're talking about the Democrats, how left-wing they really are, and why socialism has never really found a foothold in the United States.

How "Moderates" Serve The Right
This week we're talking about everyone's favorite grillpilled neighbor - the American "centrist" or "moderate". As much as they like to see themselves as enlightened arbiters of progress, centrists are little more than spoilers for actual democratic progress at best, and complete lackeys for the Right in most cases. Let's look at the insufficiency of the moderate worldview!
