A study on racism in Israel that is racist itself. Classic.

A tactic of Zionism has long been to refer to Palestinian citizens of Israel - who make up 20% of the population yet live under Jim Crow-like conditions - as generic "Arabs," thereby denying that population's historic and ongoing connection to the land that is now called Israel.

But even a racist study on racism still finds racism when hatred is the norm:

"About two-thirds of Jewish and Arab teenagers in Israel seek better relations, and about one-third believe that this noble goal is within reach, even if 51 percent of Jewish youths report high levels of hatred toward Arabs."

These Rebel and True North hacks are NOT reporters. They are far right activists with cameras and websites who masquerade as reporters.

[Notice the interviewer right-wing racist Rebel Media chose to ask Jagmeet questions: white supremacy in blackface(sometimes in a feminist face, LGBTQ face). This has been an ongoing trend in the West]

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Today in Labor History April 18, 1977: Native American activist Leonard Peltier was found guilty of murdering two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation. However, he was actually framed by undercover FBI agents who were conducting counterintelligence on the reservation. During the trial, some of the government’s own witnesses testified that Peltier wasn’t even present at the scene of the killings. In 2017, President Obama denied Peltier's application for clemency. He was still in prison in 2025 and his health has deteriored. On June 7, 2022, The UN Human Rights Council's Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found that Peltier’s imprisonment violates the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. President Biden, as one of his final acts as president, commuted his sentence to indefinite house arrest. In February 2025, he was released and transferred to the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Belcourt, North Dakota.

'In addition to the genocide of Europe’s Jews, the Nazis also persecuted, brutalized, or murdered additional groups of people. In some cases, they did so with the help of their allies and collaborators'

None of what we are seeing in America-under-Trump is new.

The link is worth a visit - just info, no grim photographic material.

@Noortjevee @feike :

De misbruikers ontkennen het, maar het is heel simpel.

Ofwel:

• Antisemitisme is rascisme. Haat jegens *elke* Jood, INCLUSIEF BABIES EN KINDEREN, ongeacht hun uitspraken en/of daden. Dit leidde tot de Holocaust tijdens WWII.

• Antisemitisme is GEEN racisme, maar haat jegens SPECIFIEKE Joden (of niet-Joden) puur vanwege hun uitspraken en/of daden. Het gaat hierbij NOOIT OVER KINDEREN. Iets anders moet geleid hebben tot de Holocaust. Wat?

Het kan niet allebei tegelijk waar zijn, iets waar bijv. IHRA en het CIDI op aansturen.

Reid Seybold, a senior at FSU who was around the corner from the shooting when it unfolded, said he knew Ikner from a political discussion group at Tallahassee State College, where he spent the first two years of his education before he transferred to FSU.

Seybold, the group's president, said Ikner was asked not to return to the group because of views that Seybold said aligned with white supremacy.

“He espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric and far-right rhetoric, as well,” Seybold said.

Since then, Seybold said, he has seen Ikner only a couple of times in passing.

The current president of the same club, Riley Pusins, said that at meetings, the suspect advocated for President Donald Trump’s agenda and often promoted white supremacist values, even though the club was nonpartisan and was about debate and political discourse.

Pusins said many people in the club had labeled the suspect, who attended regularly as recently as last semester, a fascist.

After the meetings, Pusins said, the suspect often made more “inappropriate” comments. He would “go up to the line” in the meeting and then cross the line in comments made after the fact, Pusins said.

"The reason I think we're at the numbers we're at is because this movement has been building a very long time. And one of the things that we need to do when we reclaim America and an America for everybody is to push these people back under the rock they came from. Because that's really where this kind of mentality should be in a healthy society. They'll always be there, but they shouldn't be running everything."

"There is the idea of othering and ... you can see the way the administration began these flights with individuals that they believed they had constructed this image of them as these terrible human beings. Again, although 90% of them do not have criminal records, but they could do it. They had brown skin."

"It corroded democratic norms for decades. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, union busting, judicial stacking, demonizing immigrants and queer people, rightwing propaganda media — all laid the groundwork.

Trump didn’t create this environment. He walked into it, flipped the switches, and set it ablaze. He didn’t poison the well. He found it already poisoned and drank deeply."

"From the backlash to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, to Nixon's Southern Strategy, to the Tea Party’s billionaire-funded anti-government rage against our first Black president, the GOP built a party on grievance and fear."

"Elon Musk was born into a family of racists, bought Twitter to make it racist, persistently appeals to racists, and bought the presidency to make the US government racist. DOGE is a racist, eugenicist project designed to kill off minorities — as well as disabled, poor, sick and elderly people."
