Polish speaker faces criticism for posing with Belarus border crossers in parliament

The speaker of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia, yesterday hosted the first-ever Christmas event in parliament for homeless people, migrants and others in need.

While Szymon Hołownia has won praise in some quarters for the initiative, he also received criticism – including from members of the recently ousted Law and Justice (PiS) government – for posing for a photograph at the event with people who had entered Poland over the border with Belarus.

Since 2021, tens of thousands of migrants and refugees – mostly from the Middle East, Asia and Africa – have tried to cross there with the help of the Belarusian authorities in what Polish and European authorities have labelled a “hybrid attack” on the EU.

The photograph was shared on social media by Fundacja Ocalenie, a Polish NGO that helps migrants who have crossed the Belarus border.

It accompanied the image with a quote by someone called Lysette – presumably one of the women in the photo – who the organisation suggested had been the subject of “three pushbacks”, the name given to the process by which Polish authorities send migrants back over the border into Belarus.

“I would never have thought, while I was in the forest on the Belarusian-Polish border, that one day I would be invited to the Polish Sejm,” said Lysette. “That I would be among the specially invited people. Such a thought would not have even crossed my mind then.”

The use of pushbacks has been found to be unlawful by Polish courts. Hołownia himself last month called them “illegal and inhumane” and called for them to stop, though he emphasised that the “border must be tight and secure”.

The foundation’s post prompted thousands of comments – largely negative – on social media, including from many politicians, journalists and other commentators.

“This type of action by the speaker of the Sejm is an invitation to illegally cross the Polish border,” wrote Sebastian Kaleta, who served as deputy justice minister in the PiS government until it lost power this month.

“Russia is already taking advantage of the change of government in Poland,” he added, referring to a report that a new surge of attempted crossings from Belarus into Poland may be imminent.

Another former minister and party colleague of Kaleta, Michał Woś, suggested that the photograph with Hołownia was evidence that – as the PiS government argued before the elections – the new ruling coalition will seek to dismantle the anti-migrant fence built last year on the Belarus border.

Even many commentators unconnected to PiS were critical of Hołownia’s actions. “Szymon Hołownia’s human reflex is also a political mistake. A huge one,” tweeted Jacek Gądek, a journalist from the liberal Gazeta.pl.

“This photo is political suicide,” wrote Kamila Baranowska, a journalist from the Interia news website.

Fundacje Ocalenia responded to the criticism by publishing a further statement in which it sought to “answer any doubts”.

“All people with refugee experience who visited the Sejm yesterday are staying in Poland legally,” they wrote. “To enter the premises of the Sejm, you need a pass, which you get after providing all your personal information.”

Was the Dublin Riot a Watershed Moment?

By Raymond Ibrahim

Because it spotlights the current state of affairs in the West — and all the key players — the recent uprising in Dublin should not be so quickly forgotten.

Background: on Nov. 23, 2023, a Muslim man of Algerian origin, with a known criminal record, knifed  a group of preschool children attending Saint Mary’s, a Catholic school in Dublin.  Three children — two girls and a boy aged between five and six — and a care assistant who tried to defend them, were stabbed in the assault. Knifed near the heart, a five-year-old girl was critically injured and, as of the last reporting from December, remains hospitalized in critical condition.

On the evening of the night of the stabbing, Irish citizens, apparently sick of taking in Muslim migrants who show their thanks by randomly stabbing Irish children and committing other crimes, took to the streets to protest their nation’s immigration policies.  Before long, a riot — described as the worst in modern Dublin history — broke out. 

This incident marks something new: a western demographic consisting of everyday men and women revolted — not just with words or hashtags, but in actual fact — against the mainstream narrative concerning migrants coming into Europe. 

Up until now, here is how things worked: western authorities, the “elites,” opened their nations’ doors to millions of Muslim migrants.  They did this by exploiting their citizens’ sense of decency, by making them feel it is their “duty” to provide all these migrants with a good life. 

Meanwhile, many of these migrants exhibit Islam’s natural hostility for all things and persons non-Islamic.  Wherever there is a significant presence of migrants, crimes, rapes, and general insecurity soar.  This is to be expected: the migrants’ Islamic upbringing — which is regularly nurtured by European subsidized mosques — is inherently tribal, and sees in the “other” nothing but walking prey. 

Finally, the “guardians” of what western people are allowed to know and talk about — media, politicians, “experts,” and the elites who own and control them — have done everything to conceal these facts: the names and identities of criminals and rapists are generally suppressed; a rise in crimes is blamed on anything and everything — from a lack of “equity” to European “racism” — but the obvious.

However, because the weight of deception has so increased, the edifice of lies is collapsing.  Growing numbers of western peoples are seeing reality for what it is: their leaders, their “elected” representatives, are implementing polices — in this case, mass Muslim migration — that harm and disempower the very people they are supposed to represent.  Up until now, the people’s response has been largely confined to criticism — words.

Which is what makes the Dublin riot unique.  Not only is it a rare instance of mass and violent protest against the authorities; it has also pushed the authorities to double-down on their position — further exposing where their loyalties lie (that is, not to the people).

Thus, Leo Varadkar, Ireland’s prime minister, responded by accusing those protesting his open doors policy, which has dramatically raised the crime rate — most recently, with the stabbing of three children — of being racists “filled with hate”:

They did not do what they did because they wanted to protect Irish people. They did not do it out of any sense of patriotism, however warped.  They did so because they’re filled with hate. They love violence. They love chaos and they love causing pain to others.

Varadkar further vowed to use the “full resources of the law” to punish the protesters and tighten legislation concerning “hate speech” and “incitement.”

Put differently and moving forward, any Irish citizen who dares speak the truth concerning Muslim migration in Ireland — and any foolhardy enough to try to take the law in their own hands when Muslims commit heinous crimes — will be targeted as a “hater” and quickly muzzled.

While the Dublin incident made dramatic headlines worldwide, it is hardly the only such incident to reflect this growing divide between Western populaces and their leaders. Indeed, a near-identical incident unfolded a few days earlier in France.

On Nov. 18, in the small rural town of Crépol, a gang of machete and knife-wielding Muslims (also of Algerian origin) descended on a village festival, where they murdered one 16-year-old boy, and seriously wounded nearly 20 others.  Numerous eyewitnesses heard the attackers cry out anti-White racial slurs, including, “We are going to kill White people.”

“It wasn’t just a fight like we’re used to, where there’s little punches thrown at each other,” said one French eyewitness. “We saw between 15 and 20 people arrive. We didn’t know them, they took out the knives; they were there to kill.”

To the murder of one of their own, French authorities responded just like their Irish counterparts.  According to a BBC report titled, “French pledge to tackle ultra-right after teen killing sparks protests,”

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin says he is going to propose a ban on small ultra-right groups, in response to a series of violent protests over the murder of a schoolboy at a village dance… He added that extremist militias “seek to attack Arabs, people with different skin colours, speak of their nostalgia for the Third Reich.”

In between these two Muslim attacks in Ireland and France have been countless others all throughout Western Europe.  As just one “seasonally” appropriate example, a few days ago, a group of Muslim teenagers accosted a 54-year-old man dressed as Santa Claus in Germany.  They called him a “fat man” and “son of a bitch,” before ordering him to remove his costume.  Their logic? “We are Muslims and this [Germany] is our country.” When he refused, they thrashed him. 

Such, then, is the current state of affairs: the people are increasingly seeing through the lie — to the point of rising up in violence — and the authorities are doubling down on the lie, to the point of robbing the people that they represent of their freedoms, including the most basic: freedom of speech.

A ticking time bomb, this situation is a harbinger of things to come; worst of all, it is all preventable, and exists entirely by design.

Geert Wilders and the Sociology of the Populist Right

On November 22nd, the Netherlands found itself at the centre of worldwide press coverage as a political earthquake struck its parliament. The Party for Freedom, led by populist ‘radical-right’ politician Geert Wilders (whom many caricature as the ‘Dutch Trump’), won 37 seats in the 150-seat Second Chamber. Hundreds of left-wing voters immediately gripped banners firmly in their fists and took to the streets of Utrecht and Amsterdam to protest his dramatic victory. 

As the face of the party he helped found in 2006, Wilders has slowly established himself in the Dutch political scene. For two decades, he has seduced the electorate with his incendiary rhetoric, desperately seeking to curb immigration (mostly of Muslim Moroccans), leave the European Union, and “put the Dutch first.” It seems all too familiar. In this election victory, as in many other moments that punctuated European political history in the last decade, the populist radical-right vote and abstention rate have reached historic highs. This has profound implications for the political balance at the upcoming European elections in June 2024.

The recent Dutch election demonstrates a bifurcation that has been increasingly significant across liberal democracies. Will voters choose a man of the people like Wilders, who promises to “put the Dutch first,” or an elite cosmopolitan figure like Frans Timmermans, who frequents the Belgian capital? Wilders once told the son of a diplomat, “You speak seven languages, but not the language of the people.” But who are “the people?” Mainstream media outlets have encouraged us to blame old white men in the hinterland for the electoral successes of Wilders’ counterparts Donald Trump, Giorgia Meloni, Viktor Orban, and Marine Le Pen. Isn’t it high time that we develop a more nuanced sociological picture of the populist voters who have been decisive in reshaping party politics across the West?

Why is populism increasingly attractive?

Over the past decade, political discontent has been growing in response to mounting economic problems. Trust in the democratic process has begun to fray, and liberal democracies have exposed the frailty of their political landscape with changes in the morphology of their party space, notably in the rise of radical-right populist parties, which are often seen as a protest vote against the mainstream. These parties emerged after waves of radicalization that mobilised opposition to the political establishment and the wide centrist consensus. One would be hard-pressed to pinpoint a region in the world where populism has not been a salient point in political discourse during the last decade.

‘Populism’ has been widely debated as a concept in academic literature, but Dutch political scientist Cas Mudde’s definition helps clarify the crucial yet complex meaning of this phenomenon: it is “an ideology that considers society to be ultimately separated into two homogeneous and antagonistic groups, ‘the pure people’ versus ‘the corrupt elite,’ and which argues that politics should be an expression of the volonté générale (general will).” It usually comprises several factors, including a Manichean moral cosmology whereby there is a stark, morally laden classification between a homogenous good and a homogenous evil. There is a proclamation of the people as homogenous and virtuous, whilst the elite are portrayed as corrupt and self-serving. More often than not, however, populism has been called a ‘thin ideology’ insofar as it is about depicting the people, rather than espousing a coherent ideology that clearly defines what its adherents stand for.

On both sides of the Atlantic, populism marries the vertical and horizontal dimensions together by painting caricatures of ‘the elite’ who are insensitive to the economic struggles of the masses and are also culturally deracinated. Two theories especially promote our understanding of the root causes of populism: (1) the economic shock model—centred on economic grievances and globalisation, and (2) the cultural shock model. While it may seem easy to presuppose what a populist voter should look like after engaging with these models, insights into the Dutch election complicate the widely held sociological caricature of the populist voter.

The economic shock model is incomplete

The globalisation or economic insecurity thesis figures prominently in discussions of populism. Its central claim is that, as economies become increasingly interconnected, there have been exogenous changes to the labour market, such as globalisation, migration, and automation. Many developed countries have seen their economies decline in the last decade and the working class has especially experienced the full brunt of economic fallout. As those in the upper echelons of society have embraced globalisation for its panoply of benefits, many others have felt left out. This is where radical right populist movements enter the picture. Many political commentators and academics have thoroughly discussed how parties of the populist Right most successfully appeal to the fears of the ‘losers’ of globalisation and weaponise their rampant anxieties.

However, the economic shock model should not be taken in isolation. Many have lost track of the persistent interaction of economic and cultural grievances. Since 2017, however, a host of scholars have been intervening in this debate and attributing the rise of populism to cultural factors.

Pipa Norris and Ronald Inglehart notably take centre stage in investigating radical-right populism through their ‘Cultural Backlash Theory.’ They contend a reaction against the sweeping shift to progressive cultural values must also be taken into account to explain the rising popularity of the populist radical-right, on top of economic insecurity. In the case of Wilders, it is interesting to note that his party was polling at 12% in early October. However, after the Israel-Hamas war commenced and pro-Palestine protests swept the nation, support for his party skyrocketed. There is nothing that announces cultural change more than a sea of Palestinian flags across a cosmopolitan capital. Such an occurrence is a vivid reminder that foreign geopolitical conflicts can take precedence over local issues. For weeks, tens of thousands of people thronged the streets to show their support for Palestine and Hamas, and some were ready to engage in violence. It’s fair to surmise that these highly charged events prompted many Dutch voters to rally behind the poster child for the anti-Islam Right as they saw the rotten fruit of rapid cultural changes ferment under their very noses.

Shattering the image of the old, blue-collar, white, male, rural voter 

Norris and Inglehart claim that this new cultural fissure is between populists (uneducated, provincial, old, mostly white men) and the well-educated, liberal, cosmopolitan elite. Many scholars also bolster this observation, claiming that reactionary right-wing populists are by and large uneducated, white men. This cleavage is also evident in common parlance. From the ivory tower of academia, we hear university students condescendingly describe populist voters as poor and ignorant old men.

However, political scientist Armin Schäfer recently revealed flaws in this mainstream observation. He illustrates that younger cohorts are more likely to vote for populist leaders than older ones. Even though millennials are portrayed as progressive, they have the highest probability of voting for populist leaders.

It is therefore urgent to reconsider the cultural backlash theory. There may indeed be a backlash that has been developing, but the demographics of such a phenomenon may be more diverse than expected. Protest voting and a propensity towards extremism are typically more ubiquitous among younger generations. The temptation to go to extremes—in response to resentment and distrust of institutional politics—is at a high level and winning over diverse segments of youth. Over 41% of 18-35 year old Europeans have actually been inching towards the Right and radical-right, while only 26% are moving to the Left. Only 40% of Europeans between the ages of 16 and 29 trust political actors, and young people believe less in the traditional Left/Right divide than older generations.

The political behaviour of young people enables us to understand political shifts and envisage the contours of the future democratic landscape. Nonetheless, the widespread assumption that young adults are inclined towards the progressive Left makes it difficult to admit the electoral anchoring of the populist radical-right among young voters. It boils down to invisibility: many of the young populist radical-right supporters don’t have a voice in the debate because they’re drop-outs or live in the countryside.

To challenge the presupposed demographic of the cultural backlash theory even further, in France, Éric Zemmour’s populist radical-right party Reconquête was set up by young, highly educated, and urban militants, known as Génération Z; and Le Pen gained credibility specifically among the younger generation. 42% of 18 to 24-year-olds maintain that Rassemblement National has the capacity to participate in government (38% of all French people). In Poland, about one-fifth of voters under 30 (compared to 1% of those over 60) chose the radical-right and supported Konfederacja’s leader Janusz Korwin-Mikke. According to the Italian polling institute Ixè, Giorgia Meloni’s Fratelli d’Italia was the most popular party among young people aged 18 to 34 in the 2022 elections, with almost 20% of young people voting for it.

Finally—and perhaps more strikingly—according to the most recent Ipsos data, Wilders’ party was able to draw in the greatest number of younger voters compared to other parties: 17% of voters in the 18-34 age range supported PVV, whereas it was at a mere 7% in previous elections. 10% of those with college degrees favoured PVV, revealing that, in total, more educated voters supported PVV than supported Democrats (66). Wilders did not only gain support in the rural heartland but also in numerous urban areas. As for gender, the male to female ratio was at 53:47. The PVV is also becoming increasingly attractive to immigrant-origin voters: it garnered the most support of any party among Dutch people with Caribbean roots.

The political earthquake that rocked the land of tulips also shattered an image that has been engraved in the Dutch imagination. The portrait of the angry, resentful, poorly educated, old, white, male populist has been replaced by a new ensemble of 2.4 million voters more varied than hitherto imagined. If the Dutch victory sent shock waves beyond its borders, it should also remind us that Europe’s populist radical-right seems to have the wind in its sails and that its voters are defying the clumsy caricatures constructed for them by the mainstream media.

The Fall of France: Any guesses why?

The 18th-century epigrammatist and aphorist Nicolas Chamfort famously described his country, France, as “the perfected civilization.” Nowadays, the nearly six million Muslim economic migrants and their children in France have contributed much to the undoing of that civilization, spreading fear and insecurity. From the annals of Muslim mayhem, carried out against French people, here is one recent story: “‘Dirty White’ – Thugs stab young French father 9 times, leave him with 40 stitches,” by John Cody, Remix News, December 15, 2023:

A young French father was stabbed by four to five perpetrators nine times and had a bottle broken over his head, with the men screaming “dirty White” and other racist remarks during the attack.

The victim, Nicolas, was at Le Victoria bar in Moselle on Dec. 9 when he went to the bathroom. During that time, someone told Nicolas, “You pushed me,” to which Nicolas, even though he believed he had not done anything, simply apologized to the man. Immediately, one of the perpetrators pulled out a knife. Nicolas responded by hitting him, but another one of the man’s friends pushed Nicolas to the ground. Others then joined in to attack him.

Clearly the accusation “you pushed me” was false, an excuse for the Muslims to attack him as they ignored his apology, which in any case was not merited, and to do so as a gang of four or five against one. These are the odds that Muslims prefer when attacking Infidels.

Nicolas was beaten and stabbed multiple times. He told the police that during the attack, the men yelled, “Dirty White,” and said, “Hit him, the gwer (an Arabic slur for White people.)”

The men continued to beat and stab him while he was on the ground.

His girlfriend, Meggy, spoke with French newspaper Lorraine Actu and related some of the details of the case to the paper.

Finally, “with two friends, they went through an emergency exit; they were able to take the car, and they went to Mercy Hospital,” added the young woman. Nicolas received 40 stitches, including for nine stab wounds.

“They broke a bottle of alcohol over his head and (doctors) had to put 15 stitches there,” said Meggy….

When contacted, the manager of the bar stated he did not want to comment on the case, while wishing Nicolas a good recovery and regretting what had happened.

These assailants were Arabs speaking in Arabic about hitting the “gwer” — the Arabic pejorative for white people. This was no ordinary assault, but a hate crime — the hate Muslims are taught to feel for non-Muslims, “the most vile of created beings.” They started the attack by falsely accusing the Frenchman of “hitting” one of them, and despite his apology — for something he had not done — these four or five assailants smashed a bottle over his head, and knocked him to the ground, where they continued to beat and to stab him nine times. By pure luck he survived. The attack is similar to others that in recent years have been reported from across France, where gangs of Muslims assault Infidels, often not even to rob, but just to enjoy the fun of beating up or stabbing a “gwer.”

All over the country, wherever Muslims in sufficient numbers are to be found, there has been a steady rise in the physical insecurity of the French. In cities, women no longer go out alone in the evening, for fear of sexual assault and rape. Jewish men now remove their kippahs, and Jewish women the Stars of David on their necklaces, before going out. The sense of security and wellbeing steadily erodes among non-Muslims across the country. And many people, though horrified, don’t want to get involved. Note that in this case, the owner of the bar had no comment on the incident, so fearful was he of possible retribution by the Muslim malefactors or by their families and friends. And it appears that the bar staff did not call the gendarmes nor the firemen to come, as Nicolas had requested, for the same pusillanimous reasons — “we don’t want to get involved.”

This is not a story that has received much attention in France — and none outside France. It’s by now such a common tale — a Muslim gang attacking a French person — that it is widely covered only when a gang-rape or a murder is involved. Smashing a bottle on someone French person’s head, and then stabbing him nine times just isn’t enough, these days, to attract much attention in the media. That’s how far along the we have come, from the Perfected Civilisation of Chamfort to the routine mayhem and attempted murder that the Muslim migrants have brought as their hideous gift to their French hosts. If this keeps up, expect that the French, having had quite enough of this barbarism, will respond in kind to their Muslim guests.

Already some retired French military men have warned of “civil war.” It must not come to this. The French, instead, must take control of their demographic destiny, calling a halt to Muslim immigration, and making life distinctly more difficult for Muslim economic migrants already in the country. That can be achieved by a law that would deny all state benefits to migrants during their first five years of residence in France Such a law should cause quite an outflow of those economic migrants, almost all of them Muslims from the Maghreb, who have been costing the French government billions of dollars a year. Not any more.

A woman techie in Tamil Nadu was brutally killed on the eve of her 26th birthday by her former classmate and colleague who had undergone a sex change operation to marry her. R Nandhini was chained, slashed with a blade, and burnt alive by 26-year-old Vetrimaran alias Pandi Maheswari, under the guise of a birthday surprise on the eve of Nandhini’s birthday.

The incident took place in Thalambur near Kelambakkam, a suburb of the capital Chennai. The victim, a native of Madurai, was lured into a trap by Vetrimaran on the pretext of a birthday surprise. The two were classmates in Madurai, and later even worked together in same company in Chennai.

Vetrimaran, who was earlier known by the name Pandi Maheswari, had undergone a sex change operation and wanted to marry the victim. A police officer said that Vetrimaran had become possessive of Nandhini and did not want her to have other male friends. As per reports, Nandhini refused to enter into a relationship with Vetrimaran and this made him very upset.

“They were friends and were living together in Chennai. No indication yet of any sexual assault. Whether Vetrimaran had displayed violent tendencies earlier is not clear. An investigation is on,” Tambaram Police Commissioner Amalraj said as per NDTV report.

Vetrimaran reportedly invited Nandhini for a birthday surprise, where he blindfolded her and then chained her. After slashing her with a blade, Vetrimaran burned her alive. Local residents discovered Nandhini, still chained and burning, and immediately rushed her to the hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.

The accused has been arrested and sent to judicial custody. Police have said that he has shown no remorse for his actions.

Leftists Outraged after Police Shoot Turkish Migrant in Mannheim, Germany after He Brandished Knife, Threatened Police (Video)

German leftists were outraged when police shot a Turkish migrant who threatened them with a knife in Mannheim on Christmas Eve.

Leftist netizens said the police should have injured him and not killed him.

The Turkish Consul General in Karlsruhe, Mahmut Niyazi Sezgin, paid a visit to Ozkan’s family after his death.

Hungary: Budapest wins best European Christmas market a record-breaking four times

The Christmas market held in front of Budapest’s downtown St Stephen Basilica has won the title of Europe’s Best Christmas Market in the online poll of the European Best Destination travel portal. The success is unprecedented in the history of European Christmas markets, with no location winning the prestigious award four times.

Budapest has now been ranked first in Europe for Christmas four times, ahead of London, Vienna and Prague, among others.

The Basilica of the Advent, which is the name of Budapest’s Christmas market, has been awarded the title continuously since 2021, after already winning first place in 2019.

The competition, which started on Nov. 30 and ran until Dec. 7, featured festive markets in 20 European cities, including Budapest, London, Vienna, Brussels, Prague, Dresden, Madeira, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Poznan, and other cities.

The 2023 edition saw a record turnout, surpassing the already highly popular 2022 edition, with 168 travelers from 168 countries casting 592,992 votes for their favorite and more than 335,000 votes shared on social media during the seven days of the competition.

The Basilica of the Advent received 68,029 likes, the most votes ever, to take the top spot in the European field. The 2023 result is also extraordinary because the Budapest event received 16 776 more votes than in 2022.

With this year’s first place, the Basilica of the Advent has won the title of Europe’s Best Christmas Market for the fourth time after 2019, 2021 and 2022, a feat that no other market in Europe has achieved before.

The market in Craiova, south-central Romania, came in second and the third podium finish went to Metz in France.

Professor Caman: Why is it so “bad” for Turks to have Greek, Armenian, Assyrian or Kurdish ancestors?

Egypt was invaded in 639 AD, converted to Islam, and adopted the Arab language and culture from an Arab army of 4,000 troops.

Egyptian historiography accepts the ancient Egyptian roots of contemporary Egypt.

Anatolian indigenous people were religiously and linguistically assimilated much later.

Only a fairly marginal amount of people from Central Asia (mainly ethnic Turkic “Oghuz” jihadist warriors who became the ruling elites after the invasion) moved to Anatolia.

The Migration of Turkic Peoples : AskCentralAsia

Turkish historiography talks about a “mass migration” and replacement of population in Anatolia.

This manipulative and ideological historiography is the main source of Turkish racism and ethnic nationalism, as well as xenophobia towards Armenians, Greeks and Kurds (indigenous Anatolian peoples).

It is a defence mechanism in Turkey to deny Armenian, Greek and Kurdish roots.

A considerable extent of Turkey’s population has Anatolian-indigenous ancestors.

Both modern DNA studies and morphologic characteristics of Turkey’s population indicate this fact, which is so disturbing for Turks that they completely deny it.

Today, for many Turks, it is an insult to be called a Greek or Armenian.

These hostile and hateful sentiments derive from racist Turkish historiography based on denial of the fact that contemporary Turks are predominantly descendants of Anatolian indigenous peoples (Greek, Armenian and Kurd).

Berlin police raid compound of far-left feminists accused of supporting… Muslim terrorists?

Image generated by AI.

By Olivia Murray

Does “intersectionality” yield the most contradictory and idiotic collisions ever? I’d say so.

An “activist” collective run entirely by women who somehow can’t spot the irony of feminists supporting a faction of men who categorically hate the female sex… could only be leftists. If this strikes you as totally and utterly insane, meet “intersectionality” and the collision of jihad and modern feminism. Here’s the story, published by German state-owned media outlet Deutsche Welle:

Police in BerlinGermany’s capital, conducted on Wednesday a raid targeting members of a pro-Palestinian, left-wing feminist group, German media reported.

The Zora group is accused of backing the radical, left-wing Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The European Union and the United States list the group as a terrorist organization.

(According to the RAIR Foundation, “Zora describes itself on the internet as a ‘young women’s organization’ that is ‘anti-capitalist, internationalist, anti-fascist.’”)

Muslim men, the group of people who perpetuate the most sex-based violence in the world (by far) against women, somehow has support from a group of German gals fighting the patriarchy? But not only that, this is the group of men who routinely practice polygamy, shroud their women in curtains and drapes, frequently mutilate female gentials, spit on the mangled bodies of young women in truck beds, and rape female children just to “honor” kill them later—I’m sorry, but how are we ever supposed to take these people seriously? Here’s this too, from DW:

German outlets reported that the raid was mainly prompted by a statement the group posted on its Instagram account on October 12. The statement was titled: ‘No liberation of women without the liberation of Palestine.’

In the statement, the group argues that while the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which launched the October 7 terror attacks on Israel, has no interest in fighting the patriarchy, it is important to ‘strengthen the progressive forces that are also part of the Palestinian resistance’ such as the PFLP.

A “liberation of Palestine” means enslaved women—how’s that for irony?
