A pro-Palestine bus driver in Manchester removed an Israeli passenger from the bus after she commented on a pro-Palestine symbol, Maariv reported on Wednesday.
In response to the incident, the Manchester Jewish Council responded: “As the Jewish community exits its Passover, we are once again frightened by company employees contracted by Manchester City Council who are openly displaying political symbols relating to the current conflict in the Middle East.”
The Jewish council further said that Jewish people are being targeted for attacks in various public places, “it is unacceptable that they face fear and unrest just trying to access public transportation.”
“We appreciate the swift response from the company following this incident, which was raised with their team.” the Jewish council thanked the company, further adding: “The council will formally write to the company’s representatives and CEO to ensure they rigorously enforce a policy of no political statements by staff.”
When asked, the bus services company responded that they would conduct an internal investigation into the matter.
Famed Spanish writer Lucía Etxebarria is breathing a sigh of relief after a Las Palmas court ruled in her favor after she was sued by a “non-binary trans person” for misgendering him. The plaintiff, Marcos Ventura, launched the suit seeking 11,000 Euros for pain and suffering, but has now been ordered to pay Etxebarria’s legal costs.
As previously reported by Reduxx, Ventura is a transvestite who defines himself as a “non-binary trans person who uses feminine pronouns and grammatical gender to refer to himself.” He had launched a lawsuit against Etxebarria last year for an alleged crime against the “right to dignity, equal treatment and non-discrimination.” Ventura’s claims were based on a 2020 post on social media Etxebarria had written in which she identified him as a “man.”
According to The Objective, the judge ruled that the Etxebarria’s statements complied with “the necessary finding of a sufficient factual basis on which to express public opinion.” The judge also agreed that Ventura had sufficiently male aesthetics and physical attributes which would lead a reasonable person to correctly identify him as being male.
The judge dismissed the lawsuit and ordered Ventura to pay the costs of the proceedings.
Esta sentencia, aunque no es firme y cabe recurso, es un paso importante en la defensa y prevalencia de la libertad de expresión frente a quienes quieren imponer la censura fundamentada en cuestiones identitarias. En mi opinión, ES UNA SENTENCIA HISTÓRICA https://t.co/IvUkHyLRXH
Ventura, who refused the initial possibility of a settlement agreement, had requested 11,000 Euros in damages for having been “subjected to public harassment and scorn, multiple insults and numerous offensive comments derived from the public exposure and the target that the defendant put” on him, by “exposing [him] to her hundreds of thousands of followers.”
But the judge refuted Ventura’s claims, asserting that there was no possibility a crime had been committed and disagreeing that Ventura had suffered any damages. Ventura will be allowed to appeal the decision.
Etxebarria’s lawyer, Guadalupe Sanchez, praised the ruling, noting that “this sentence, although not final and subject to appeal, is an important step in the defense and prevalence of freedom of expression against those who want to impose censorship based on identity issues.”
Lucía Etxebarria
In a statement from Etxebarria given to The Objective, the writer thanked the supporters who stood by her through the taxing trial.
“But above all I want to make one thing clear: this ruling is particularly significant because it creates a precedent. And I believe this because, if I had not won, a different sentence could have been used to impose ideological criteria and to carry out personal vendettas, at least this is my personal opinion,” she wrote.
As an example, Etxebarria referenced the recent bizarre case of a trans-identified male convicted of a hate crime against another trans-identified male for refusing to affirm his gender identity.
As previously reported by Reduxx, the Barcelona High Court sentenced a male who claims to be transgender to six months in prison after he was found guilty of committing a crime “against fundamental human rights and public freedoms” for posting “transphobic” comments on social networks.
Referring to the case, Etxebarria explains that “the transsexual woman was sentenced to pay 720 euros and to undergo a ‘re-education course’ – in a Stalinist or Maoist fashion – to ‘cure [his] transphobia.’ And to six months in jail (which [he] will not serve because [he] accepted the re-education course). The judges charged [him] with a crime against moral integrity, according to article 173 of the Penal Code.”
Etxebarria concludes by noting that “ideological laws” are intended to fulfill two purposes. “One, to destroy the core beliefs of the population in order to more easily subdue them. And two, to gaslight people.”
French President Emmanuel Macron restated a previous commitment of making troops available for Ukraine, using an interview published Thursday to detail the issue would “legitimately” arise if Russia broke through Ukrainian front lines and Kyiv made such a request.
The Economist magazine said Macron gave the interview after delivering a keynote speech last week where he declared that Europe is “mortal” and could “die” partly due to the threat posed by Russian aggression after its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
“I’m not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out,” said Macron when asked if he stood by comments earlier this year not excluding the sending of Western troops that sent shockwaves around Europe.
Some analysts speculate Russia could be on the verge of launching a major new offensive in Ukraine, AFP reports.
Macron said “if Russia decided to go further, we will in any case all have to ask ourselves this question” of sending troops, describing his refusal to rule out such a move as a “strategic wake-up call for my counterparts.”
He described Russia as “a power of regional destabilisation” and “a threat to Europeans’ security” while stating, “I have a clear strategic objective: Russia cannot win in Ukraine.

“If Russia wins in Ukraine, there will be no security in Europe,” Macron went on to warn.
“Who can pretend that Russia will stop there? What security will there be for the other neighbouring countries, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Lithuania and the others?” he asked.
Last month Macron suggested arming European Union members with nuclear weapons was also a possi
“I am in favour of opening this debate which must include anti-missile defence, the firing of long-range weapons, nuclear weapons for those who have them or who have American nuclear weapons on their soil,” Macron said.
“Let’s put everything on the table and look at what truly protects us in a credible way,” he continued, but maintained that France would keep “its specificity but is ready to contribute more to the defence of European soil.”
Rejection of immigrants from Islamic countries has increased in Germany. An absolute majority of 52 per cent (rather) agree with the statement that “Germany should generally no longer accept refugees from Islamic countries”. This is the result of a representative Insa survey commissioned by the Nius portal. 34 per cent say “disagree” or “tend to disagree”.
There is even greater agreement with this statement: “In certain areas of my town or village, I have the feeling that I am no longer in Germany.” 57 per cent agree, 36 per cent do not share this feeling. This also gives rise to the concern of becoming a minority in one’s own country. 54 per cent of respondents say they are “afraid that Germans will become a minority in Germany”. 37 per cent see it differently.
A relative majority support the theory of a population exchange, which is categorised as right-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. 45 per cent think: “I believe that Europeans will gradually be replaced by immigrants from Africa and the Middle East.” 41 per cent reject the statement.
The responses to the question of whether “migrants have largely integrated well in Germany” are also unambiguous. 58 per cent say no, 29 per cent think the opposite.
Germans are most likely to agree with the statement “The current migration is overburdening the German school system”. At 75 per cent, three quarters of respondents are convinced that this is the case. 22 per cent cannot see any overload.
Insa interviewed a representative sample of 2,004 eligible voters aged 18 and over for the survey from April 26 to 29.
The devastating sexual assault, rape and violent statistics involving foreign nationals just keep coming.
The establishment media don’t want you to hear about it, but I think you have every right.
Obert Moyo has been sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum term of 27 years for murdering a 35-year-old woman he was in a relationship with. The detail on this is shocking.
He was in fact an illegal immigrant, denied asylum and on prison licence following release from a 14-year sentence for a serious assault on a previous partner.
Why was he still able to slaughter a woman in the street in Britain, stabbing her to death after chasing her down the road?
How many more Obert Moyo’s are there?
Well, regular viewers and listeners of this show will know that the Ministry of Justice won’t tell us.
They’ve refused our Freedom of Information request and our offer to pay for that information, which is why we are pushing for a change to the law so that governments have to tell us how many foreign nationals commit horrendous offences in Britain.
I am hoping that I’ll have an update on that for you in the next couple of weeks. But this isn’t just our problem.
New figures from Paris show that 77 per cent of solved rape cases last year were committed, apparently by foreign nationals.
The majority of these targeted tourist hotspots as if they were looking for prey. In Denmark, the native Danes ranked 42nd on the list of violent crime convictions in their own country. Questions like this have been asked in the European Parliament for some time.
“Countries that have received large numbers of migrants, such as Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom are now seeing an increase in sexual crimes, including rape against white women and girls. Significantly, although the number of reports of such crimes is increasing, the number of convictions for them is falling.”
That question was asked in EU Parliament. Well, the EU’s response was this. It’s quite shocking actually.
“It focuses on promoting European values such as equality, a long-standing objective of the EU in its support to national integration policies. The EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion sets out a framework to strengthen and step up integration and inclusion policies across the EU.”
Look, Germany has had massive issues, as we all know. We all know back in 2016, around 1200 women were attacked by around 2000, mostly North African men in one night in Cologne.
Will we ever know how many of those men or men like them have made their way to Britain? This isn’t really about integration and inclusion, is it? This is about politicians letting the wrong people in and putting women and girls at risk, and then refusing to tell us the truth.
How many more women have to be killed or sexually assaulted by men like Obert Moyo? We shouldn’t have to get the law changed for them to tell us the truth.
All over the world, labor unions and Marxists in general gather to celebrate International Worker’s Day with the same old tired slogans and same old delusional expectations that the war of classes will usher in the dictatorship of the proletariat.
In France, of course, it’s not different, and in fact, it’s worse than most places on planet Earth.
Nosta Lgia
This year, crowds gathered all over the French Republic, but perhaps nowhere else was a chaotic as in the capital Paris.
As is usually the case, the ‘City of Light’, that is gearing up to host the Summer Olympic games, quickly became a field of battle between protesters and the riot police.
CNN’s latest oped proves that the western media despises Hindus (Images: CNN, File, TimesNow)
As India is in the midst of general elections, the Western media has gone all out to influence the Indian voters against the incumbent Modi government. Western media houses are publishing long and repetitive op-eds on how Narendra Modi is a Hindu nationalist hardliner, and a third term for him would result in India becoming a Hindu Rashtra. In its pursuit of pushing the anti-India and anti-Hindu narrative, these Western media houses often use their brown sepoys to pass on the lies, half-truths and Hinduphobic opinions as some deplorable realities of India.
On the 1st of May, US-based media house CNN published an article titled: “Rising Hindu nationalism leaves Muslims fearful in India’s holy city”. As the title suggests, the article desperately attempts to assert that Muslims residing in the sacred city of Varanasi (Kashi), which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Lok Sabha constituency, are fearful over the prospect of PM Modi securing a third term.
CNN report
“Yet, 10 years after his ascension, many of Varanasi’s Muslims feel neglected, even betrayed, especially now as a centuries-old mosque becomes the latest flashpoint in a case that tests India’s secular fabric,” the CNN article reads.
Although CNN acknowledged India’s transformative advancement over a decade of Modi rule, it said that ‘religious polarisation’ has undoubtedly increased.
CNN claims ‘Hindu nationalists’ being appointed to top positions to ‘target’ Muslims
The propaganda piece authored by Aishwarya S Iyer, Rhea Mogul, Kunal Sehgal and Will Ripley lamented how under Modi’s India, ‘Hindu nationalists’ are being appointed to top positions in government institutions. To back its assertion, CNN linked one of its reports on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Although CNN did not explicitly name CM Yogi, it apparently tried insinuating that some random Hindu nationalists were appointed to top government posts giving them the right to change laws to target Muslims. However, Yogi Adityanath has been a five-time Member of Parliament from Gorakhpur consecutively. Under CM Yogi, significant strides achieved by the state government in developmental initiatives that do not discriminate against or favour any religious group but benefit all.
CNN suffers meltdown over abrogation of Article 370 and passing of CAA
The CNN article also lamented the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir insinuating that the Modi government snatched the autonomy of India’s only Muslim-majority state. However, it failed to mention that an erstwhile unstable region plagued by Islamist terror, anti-India protests, and stone-pelting on Indian armed forces is now witnessing development and much-needed stability. The Modi government has significantly invested in infrastructure, education, tourism and urban development establishing a solid foundation for long-term growth of the region.
It goes on to mention the 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act that triggered violent protests by Islamists and their sympathisers. In its bid to project the CAA as somehow anti-Muslim, the CNN article said that the Modi “administration passed a controversial citizenship law that excludes Muslim migrants, giving rise to deadly riots.” However, CNN did not care to delve into why Shias and Ahmadiyas from Pakistan as well as Rohingyas coming from Bangladesh were not covered in the CAA. As OpIndia reported earlier, Pakistan’s persecuted Shias and Ahmadiyas identify as Muslims, thus their persecution is the Islamic Republic’s law and order issue. Meanwhile, Rohingyas persecuted in Myanmar come to India via Bangladesh, they enter India for material benefits and no longer remain a persecuted group, thus, they are excluded from CAA, not due to any anti-Muslim agenda or hatred.
CNN projects the 2020 Delhi anti-Hindu riots as an attack on Muslims
Citing the case of one Nasir Ali, who claimed to have been shot in the eye due to his Muslim identity, CNN did what an average left-liberal Hindu-hating propagandist does, accentuate incidents of alleged violence against a Muslim person to downplay the terror unleashed upon Hindus. CNN does not find IB officer Ankit Sharma’s brutal murder during the 2020 anti-Hindu Delhi Riots, horrific enough to be talked about since he was not a Muslim. In the 2020 anti-Hindu riots perpetrated by Islamists, 53 people died while more than 200 people were left injured. It would not be surprising if the brown sepoys did not even know the names of Dilbur Negi or Constable Ratan Lal.
CNN’s heart bleeds for a Kashmiri Muslim being unable to find a home for weeks in Rajasthan allegedly due to his Muslim identity. It, however, fails to mention the killings of migrant labourers mostly from UP and Bihar in Kashmir by Islamist terrorists. Much like the left-liberal propagandists, perhaps CNN too wants crimes perpetrated against Hindus by Muslims for their Hindu identity to be seen as ‘isolated crimes’ and not targeting Hindus.
Conspicuously, a Kashmiri Muslim youth facing difficulty in finding a home is more severe than poor Hindus being killed for their Hindu identity.
Amusingly, the CNN article cites self-proclaimed defenders of human rights, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, both notorious for peddling anti-India and anti-Hindu propaganda and selective ‘activism’.
The CNN report further laments the lack of Muslim representation within the Bhartiya Janata Party absolutely neglecting that like any other party, BJP also looks into the winnability of the candidates in elections.
PM Modi called Indian Muslims ‘infiltrators’: CNN parrots the lies peddled by opposition parties and their sympathisers
In the desperation to somehow paint PM Modi as ‘anti-Muslim’ CNN resorted to passing off lies peddled by the Congress, Islamists, Leftists and their media allies about PM Modi’s 21st April speech criticising Congress party’s sinister wealth redistribution promise. The report claimed that PM Modi called Indian Muslims “Ghuspaithiye” (infiltrators). However, contrary to the misleading claims, PM Modi did not call Indian Muslims “infiltrators”, rather by this term he meant the illegal migrants.
CNN wants Hindus not to reclaim Gyanvapi, as it is ‘destroying’ India’s ‘secular fabric’
Hindus trying to legally reclaim Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the rightful abode of Lord Vishweshwara (Shiva) which was destroyed by Mughal tyrant Aurangzeb in the 17th century, is causing fear among Muslims of Varanasi, the CNN report claims.
“The mosque was built in the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. It is widely believed a temple devoted to Lord Shiva on the same site was destroyed to make way for it,” the CNN report reads insinuating that the Hindu side’s case relies more on ‘popular belief’ than historical evidence although there is ample historical evidence including Saqi Mustaid Khan’s Maasir-i-Alamgiri confirming that the temple was indeed ordered by Aurangzeb to be demolished. The report quotes a local Muslim leader Yasin saying that he does not trust the police and judiciary adding that the “judiciary is giving judgments but not justice.” For him perhaps, justice is only when the judgment is in favour of Muslims.
Any anti-Hindu individual, political party or media outlet’s meltdown is incomplete without shedding copious amounts of tears over the reclamation of Ram Janmbhoomi and the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Throwing its weight behind the ‘critics’, CNN also lamented the consecration of Lord Rama in his rightful abode, and asserted that it has “pulled India away from its constitutionally secular foundations”.
If the so-called ‘unique fabric’ of India is threatened by Hindus legally fighting to reclaim their temples destroyed by Islamists in the past, then this ‘fabric’ is nothing but a façade. Hindus are expected to remain meek and silently allow the anti-Hindu forces to erase their historical, cultural and religious heritage as well as replace it with Islamic symbols, otherwise, they are labelled ‘Islamophobes’ anti-Muslim, bigots and whatnot by Islamists and their ‘pens for hire’.
Five West Virginia female middle school athletes who refused to throw the shot put against a boy after a circuit court exempted him from a state law that prevents males from competing on female sports’ teams have been banned from participating in their next competition.
On April 18, the five girls attended the 2024 Harrison County Middle School Championships track and field meet where they were scheduled to compete in shot put.
The five students stepped out of the shot-put circle without throwing, forfeiting in protest of the participation of an eighth-grade male student presenting himself as a girl during the competition.
After four of the five girls filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education protesting the ban, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey stepped in and wrote an amicus brief on their behalf.
“I will do everything in my power to defend these brave young girls,” Morrisey wrote Monday on X. “This is just wrong. We must stand for what’s right and oppose these radical trans policies.”
“The only thing this decision does is teach these children to keep their mouths shut and not disagree with what they saw as unfairness,” said Morrisey, according to a statement from his office. “That is outrageous and it tramples these students’ rights to freedom of speech and expression.”
“Their actions at the earlier track meet were not disruptive or aggrandizing. They were the quiet demonstration of the student-athletes’ evident unhappiness with the competitive consequences of a federal appellate court’s decision,” said Morrisey, a Republican candidate for governor.
“Rather than being punished for their conduct or being sidelined in an effort to score points, all should commend these young athletes for putting their personal performances aside to demonstrate their discontent with an unjust result that affects them personally and within that event,” he said.
Other conservatives took to X to express support for the banned girls.
“How many young girls are losing opportunities because cowardly liberal and RINO politicians are caving to mental illness?” the Travis Media Group asked.

Serious questions have arisen in the case surrounding the arrest of the Chinese-born parliamentary aide to AfD MEP Maximilian Krah suspected of spying for Beijing after it came to light that German intelligence agencies, despite working with and monitoring his activities for years, never informed Krah.
Suspicions about Krah’s aide were first reported by The European Conservative last April, which could have been cause for the German MEP to question the AfD’s parliamentary staff further about the perceived doubts about his assistant’s loyalties.
Days ago, the German press revealed that Jian Guo, the arrested parliamentary assistant, had in 2007 been listed as an informant for the Saxony State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV). Over the next eight years, Guo is said to have provided the state intelligence agency with information about people, companies, and associations in Germany with potential links to China’s spy services.
In 2015, Saxony’s state intel office received a tip from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) that Guo may have been acting as a double agent for the Chinese Communist Party’s secret services. Subsequently, the BfV’s counterespionage service began formally observing Guo. At one point, German secret service agents even questioned Guo about their suspicions, but were ultimately unable to legally confirm his alleged espionage activities.
Nevertheless, the BfV’s suspicions remained, leading to Guo’s removal from the list of registered informants in 2018. The intel agency’s monitoring of Guo’s activities did, however, continue up until his arrest in April.
Perplexingly, not only did the German state allow Guo to become a naturalized citizen despite his suspected espionage activities, but it failed to inform Krah about its suspicions against his parliamentary assistant, even though it would have been common practice to do so. Additionally, Guo’s file should have prevented him from passing the security check required to work in the EU Parliament—but oddly, it did not.
Hans-Georg Maaßen, the former president of the BfV, recently explained to Junge Freiheit the normal procedure in a case like this:
If there are actual indications that employees of Members of Parliament are working for a foreign intelligence service, the President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, his deputy or, if he is prevented from doing so, the head of counterintelligence shall conduct awareness-raising talks with the Members of Parliament.”
This did not happen with Krah.
Krah believes neither the government’s failure to inform him about the suspicions against his employee, nor the timing of the arrest are coincidences. The case, he suggests, is being used by Germany’s administrative state to cast him and the AfD in a particularly negative light ahead of the critical European elections in June, where the party is poised to perform well.
“The security authorities never warned me or informed me, contrary to their duty,” Krah said. “The security authorities obviously had knowledge, didn’t inform me, and dropped the bomb shortly before the [European] election date. That’s quite remarkable.” The timing and manner of action are “not a coincidence,” the MEP leading the AfD’s list contended.
The BfV’s failure to inform Krah and instead bring it before the public just before the elections makes sense if Thomas Haldenwang, the domestic intel chief’s, enmity toward the AfD is considered.
Haldenwang, breaking from a long-held tradition that has seen intel chiefs refrain from involving themselves in party politics, last year directly warned Germans not to vote for the AfD, claiming the party had elements within it that were opposed to the constitution.
So far, the BfV has not responded to press inquiries as to whether it had made Krah, AfD leadership, or anyone in the EU Parliament aware of its monitoring of Guo’s activities.
