Anti-Americanism is not resonating with American voters lately, but Democrats can take heart that it may flourish in German supermarkets.

Via Allah’s Willing Executioners:

Products from the USA are placed upside down on the shelves. This method is used to clearly label them and distinguish them from domestic goods.

The suspected intent is to discourage shoppers from choosing them, as with the “Don’t Buy From Jews” signs once placed on the windows of Jewish shops.

Retailers offer a different explanation:

In the USA, nutritional information, ingredient lists and packaging standards are often less strict or formatted differently than in the EU. … Inverted products would therefore immediately signal to employees and customers: ‘This is an imported product that requires special attention.’

Also, more visible imported products might have some benefit when taking stock.

However, differing labeling regulations and stocktaking issues did not seem to be a problem prior to Trump’s return to the White House and the “ubiquitous demonisation of his policies.”

The country that voted for these policies might also be in for some demonization where moonbattery prevails.

In the wake of Conor McGregor announcing his intention to run for president, Irish prosecutors are reportedly considering charging the UFC legend over allegedly “inciting hatred” amid the 2023 Dublin riots.

In the wake of McGregor being invited by the Trump administration to the White House and later announcing his intentions to run for the Irish presidency, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Dublin is said to be examining social media posts from the outspoken mixed marital artist for potential criminal charges, the Irish Independent reported.

According to the paper, the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) recently sent the DPP a police file regarding an investigation into posts McGregor made in 2023. If the prosecutors take up the case, the Irish fighter could face up to seven years in prison for his social media comments under the European nation’s draconian speech restrictions.

One of the supposedly offending posts came on the night before the Dublin riots, in which McGregor said in response to Ukrainian refugees being allowed to vote in local elections: “Ireland, we are at war.”

The following day, riots broke out in the Irish capital following a mass stabbing outside a primary school that left three young children hospitalised. The alleged attacker was later identified as Riad Bouchaker, a migrant from Algeria, who is currently awaiting trial for multiple counts of attempted murder.

In response to statements condemning the attack from the political class, McGregor wrote: “I don’t care about President Higgins statement. Or Varadkar’s statement. Or Mary Lou’s. Or Justice [Minister] McEntee’s. Or Garda Commissioner’s. Announce our plan of action!! What are we waiting for? Your statements of nothing are absolutely worthless to the solving of this issue. Take Action!! Fix this situation IMMEDIATELY!”

‘Doesn’t Speak for Ireland’ — Leftist Irish Govt Condemns Conor McGregor’s Comments on Migrationhttps://t.co/becFOLMskp

— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) March 18, 2025

The following day, Mr McGregor condemned the violence on the streets, writing: “I do not condone any attacks on our first responders in their line of duty. I do not condone looting and the damaging of shops. Last night’s scenes achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face.

“I do understand frustrations, however, and I do understand a move must be made to ensure the change we need is ushered in. And fast! I am in the process of arranging. Believe me I am way more tactical and I have backing.”

Last week, McGregor announced his intention to run for president in Ireland. It remains to be seen if he can get on the ballot, however, with Irish law stipulating that candidates need the support of at least 20 members of the parliament or the backing of four local councils.

Mass migration, which has radically transformed Ireland over the past two decades — with foreign-born residents making up over one in five people on the island — will likely feature heavily in a McGregor campaign.

On Sunday, McGregor vowed that if elected as president, he would not sign the EU migration pact, which seeks to redistribute migrants throughout the bloc.

“They will propose for me to sign off on Ireland’s EU migration pact, which I will refuse, as President, without it voted on by the people,” he wrote on X.

“IRELAND WE ARE A DEMOCRACY! THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE THE POWER! A Vote for McGregor is a vote for yourself!”

Germany’s increasingly unpopular and politically irrelevant Green party—which, according to the latest polls, commands just 12% of the national vote— is advocating for a ban on Alternative for Germany (AfD), the nation’s second most popular party. Reports suggest they are also pressuring other globalist parties to support this effort.

The Green Party’s push to ban the AfD—widely seen as an anti-democratic, globalist-driven move—follows a failed attempt by Christian Democratic Union (CDU) MP Marco Wanderwitz. This CDU politician, defeated by an AfD candidate in a 2021 local election, introduced a motion to ban the party in October 2023. However, the support for the effort fizzled out.

Now, as the AfD nears record-high levels of public support, authoritarian globalists—lacking a compelling message of their own capable of resonating with the large sections of the German electorate—are once again attempting to suppress their opposition.

The Managing Director of the Greens parliamentary group Till Steffen stated days ago that a cross-party ban application “should be submitted as soon as possible,” according to the Frankfurter Rundschau.

According to the newspaper, sources within the CDU/CSU—Germany’s nominally “conservative” party—indicate that the Union may back a ban on the AfD if the party is officially designated a “confirmed right-wing extremist” by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), the country’s highly politicized domestic intelligence agency.

To illustrate the agency’s overt politicization, in June 2023, the head of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV) in Thuringia—responsible for the state’s internal security—used dehumanizing rhetoric to describe AfD voters, effectively branding all 16 million of them as “fascist scum.”

Thuringia’s state intelligence chief, Stephan Kramer, made remarks strikingly similar to Hillary Clinton’s infamous 2016 “deplorables” comment, where she referred to half of Americans as “deplorables.” Kramer characterized AfD supporters, now constituting well over one-fifth of Germany’s population, as the “brown dregs.”

Originally scheduled for release in 2024, the agency’s report on the AfD has been delayed following the departure of its chief, Thomas Haldenwang. Nancy Faeser, Germany’s globalist extremist activist interior minister, has yet to appoint a successor.

Interior Minister Faeser previously wrote for an Antifa publication, the press organ of the Bund der Antifaschistinnen und Antifaschisten (VVN-BdA), an organization classified as left-wing extremist by the Bavarian state intelligence agency.

Media reports suggest the appointment will occur only after the new Chancellor is sworn in. As a result, a decision from the BfV is now not expected until May 2025 at the earliest.

Earlier, CDU leader Friedrich Merz, who is poised to become the new Chancellor, cautioned against pursuing a ban procedure in early 2024. However, at a parliamentary group meeting in early 2025, he reportedly indicated that the CDU/CSU could only support such an application after the 2025 federal election.

The Social Democratic Party of Germany’s parliamentary group is also awaiting the final opinion from the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

Bayer, Germany’s biggest pharmaceuticals and biotech company, has been ordered to pay a record almost $2.1 billion (€1.94 billion) in punitive damages to a US cancer patient.

On March 24, a jury in the US State of Georgia ordered the company to pay $65 million (€60 million) and $2 billion (€1.85 billion) in damages to John Barnes.

He had sued Bayer subsidiary Monsanto in 2021, alleging that the company’s Roundup weedkiller had caused his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Punitive damages are court-ordered payments that exceed the actual damage incurred by the plaintiff and are meant to deter the defendant and others from engaging in unlawful conduct.

The Bayer penalty was one of the largest legal settlements in a Roundup-related case so far with the biggest compensation of $2.25 billion (€2.8 billion) awarded by a Philadelphia court earlier in 2025.

Roundup is a popular weedkiller sold by US agrochemicals company Monsanto. It contains the contentious chemical glyphosate, which has been accused of causing cancer.

Bayer acquired Monsanto in 2018 for €56 billion. Since then, the German multinational has been hit with a spate of verdicts, primarily in the US, ordering it to pay damages amounting to several billions of Euros.

In 2018, Monsanto was accused of inadequately warning customers of the dangers of Roundup. A Californian jury found that the company knew its Roundup and RangerPro weedkillers were dangerous and failed to warn consumers, according to the BBC.

It was ordered to pay $289m (£226m) damages to a man who claimed herbicides containing glyphosate had caused his cancer.

Altogether, Bayer has already faced almost 180,000 lawsuits similar to the Barnes case and has set aside €16 billion for potential settlements.

The German company has announced it would appeal the Georgia sentence.

“We do not agree with the verdict of the jury,” the company wrote in a statement.

The decision did not align with scientific findings and the assessment of glyphosate by regulators around the world.

The European Union has concluded that glyphosate was not cancerogenic and allowed its use in member states at least until 2033.

Bayer also pointed out that, in the past, it had managed to reduce damages awarded by juries in similar cases by 90 per cent on average.

Bayer shares traded for €22 on March 24, only marginally above the 21-year-low of €19 they reached in autumn 2024.

In the six years since its acquisition of Monsanto, Bayer’s shares have lost almost 80 per cent of their value.

An Albanian criminal has been permitted to stay in Britain because his son could have a learning disability.

Blendi Axhami’s son was born in the UK in 2017 – just a few years after his convict father had arrived illegally in the UK.

The young boy is mainly looked after by his mother, while Axhami looks after his son once a week.

Now, it has come to light that the father had been handed an eight-year-long jail sentence in Albania for an unspecified crime – for which the Home Office tried to give him the boot.

However, the convict was able to resist his deportation by deploying the excuse that his son is currently being treated “as if he is autistic” and is currently waiting for his final diagnosis, a tribunal heard.

Official documents have revealed that the criminal first applied to remain in the UK after his son’s birth but failed to declare his previous conviction.

His criminal history was unveiled after he was arrested twice in 2021 and was charged with one charge for possession of Class A drugs.

As a result, the Home Office threw out his application for “leave to remain”.

Lower Tribunal judge Angharad Lloyd-Lawrie ruled that the criminal’s son “would face considerable distress” if his father was extradited.

The Home Office then launched an appeal against the ruling but the case was dismissed earlier this year in January.

A Home Office spokesman confirmed that the department “fought this case right the way through the tribunal system…

“Foreign nationals who commit heinous crimes should be in no doubt that we will do everything to make sure they are not free on Britain’s streets.”

Axhami has become the latest case where a foreign criminal has managed to avoid deportation.

Recently, another Albanian criminal sparked fury after dodging deportation because his son had an aversion to foreign chicken nuggets.

Klevis Disha, 39, came to the UK illegally in February 2001, when he was a 15-year-old unaccompanied child.

An immigration tribunal ruled that it would be “unduly harsh” for C to be forced to move to Albania with his father owing to his sensitivity around food.

The sole example provided to the court was his distaste for the “type of chicken nuggets that are available abroad.”

A fiery Western leader on immigration is desperate to deport a series of violent criminals southward to a country the West once had great influence over—but that country is resisting.

France (did you think I was talking about somewhere else?) is home to a very large Algerian population, many of whom the French government has no issue with. Some, however, they would like to see deported to their home country. This includes murderers who have been sentenced to life in prison and social media stars who have stirred up hatred against Jews, among others. The total list of deportees currently stands at 60, a relatively paltry sum.

The problem for France is that they cannot be called deportees—instead, one needs to affix the word “attempted”. That’s because the Algerian government is not playing ball, and has flatly refused to take the deportees. When France sends them to Algeria, they send them back almost immediately. From the Algerian perspective, this entirely makes sense: after all, most of the desired deportees are genuine radicals who would not benefit Algerian society. At “best” they would sit in prison, a drain on the state; at worst, they would be in society, spreading radical ideas.

It also makes sense for Algeria because they are likely aware that there is little France can do about it.

This is not to say the French have not complained. The French Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, who is known as an immigration hardliner, said that the Algerian government was trying to “humiliate” France. Not exactly words with which to rally the troops. Which is strange, as the French government is genuinely furious, as they should be. Algeria is indeed humiliating them, as they look incompetent and unable to triumph over a significantly weaker country (this is made all the worse by the fact that the French government still sees itself as something of a great power).

The Trump administration recently ran into the issue of Colombia refusing to take back deportees (or at least refusing to take them back on the scale that the administration desired). But President Donald Trump did not whine about being humiliated: instead, he essentially threatened to nuke Colombia’s economy with massive tariffs. The Colombians folded shortly.

But France has essentially no leverage, and Algeria knows it. Unlike America, France cannot levy tariffs on Algeria. Partially this is due to the European Union’s trade policy, which makes it difficult for countries to levy tariffs independently (France could throw its weight around to tariff Algeria, but this would take time). But it is also due to the fact that tariffing Algeria would be akin to France economically shooting its own leg off. Algeria exports significantly more to France than France does to Algeria: in 2023, Algeria exported almost $7.3 billion worth of products to France, whereas France exported only $4.6 billion to Algeria. And Algeria’s exports are not trinkets: over 90 per cent of France’s imports were petroleum products. They could wean themselves off Algerian gas, but that too would take time; in the meantime, tariffing those would cause gas prices to rise in France, which is never good for any government, much less one which is as rickety as France’s.

France’s exports to Algeria are also splintered among a ton of different types of products; the largest export, cars, was just over 11 per cent. Nothing else was in the double digits, making it hard for France to threaten to withhold some sort of key product from the Algerians.

This lack of leverage is likely why the French government has zoomed in on a threat to revoke the treaty allowing for the (relatively) easy migration of Algerians into France. That agreement gave Algeria generous benefits, like being able to get 10-year resident permits more quickly than other nationalities. It came shortly after Algeria gained independence, when France was still trying to keep some sort of close relationship with its former colony.

But France has failed so far to even credibly threaten to break the treaty. Last week, Retailleau posted that he “[regretted] that Algeria refuses to apply international law.” Further, he threatened to undertake a “gradual response” to Algeria’s refusal to accept the deportees.

Nothing says “we mean business” like “You won’t follow international law” and “We will take a gradual response,” no? The government further declared that it would take six weeks to consider their currently-existing treaties with Algeria, essentially giving their former colony a deadline – or at least trying to. These threats are unlikely to work, for three reasons.

Firstly, France’s influence over Algeria has already been waning. The Algerian government has in previous years reduced the use of French in government communications, universities, and schools. And last year, when France recognised the Western Sahara as part of Morocco (which Algeria strongly opposes), relations got even worse.

Secondly, Algeria does not really have reason to believe France will go through with any cancellation. It is unclear how France could cancel the 1968 treaty, as there is no clause which allows for it, and there is no guarantee that such a cancellation could pass France’s fractured parliament. A French senatorial report from earlier this year called on the government to “initiate a new round of negotiations with Algeria to rebalance the special regime for residence permits and circulation provided by the December 27, 1968 agreement.” To which the Algerian government will likely say, “No,” bringing France back to square one.

One left-wing senator called even this milquetoast suggestion a “provocation,” bringing us to the third reason: Algeria likely knows France does not have the stomach to really crack down here. France would never engage in mass deportations like the Trump administration is doing; the government does not have the political strength, and as Retailleau’s post reveals, they are far too concerned with “international law” to do so even if they did have the numbers in parliament.

This is not to say that France will not eventually work something out with the Algerians. But it will not be a straightforward capitulation by Algeria; they will surely get something for accepting the deportees, if it ever happens. Because much as they would like to believe, France holds no cards. It hasn’t for a long time.

A primary school has scrapped its annual Easter celebration and service to “respect diverse religious beliefs”.

The announcement by Norwood Primary School has sparked outrage and confusion among parents and carers.

A letter, seen by the Echo, was sent out by headteacher Stephanie Mander informing people of the decision to not hold the Easter Bonnet Parade or the Easter Service this year.

Miss Mander said respect for diverse religious beliefs represented within the school was the reason behind the decision.

“By not holding specific religious celebrations, we aim to create a more inclusive atmosphere that honours and respects the beliefs of all our children and their families”, she said.

The letter, which was shared in an Eastleigh Facebook group, was subject to much discussion.

One person said: “I would have thought it best to celebrate everything, not nothing.”

Another commented: “I don’t get it personally.

“It’s an experience that’s in walking distance of the school. Parents have always been given the option to not attend. The school’s always been diverse and accepting of all.”

But the school will celebrate Refugee Week in June, Miss Mander said, as the school works towards becoming a School of Sanctuary.

She added: “We understand that this change may be disappointing for some, especially those who have cherished these traditions over the years. However, we believe that this decision aligns with our values of inclusivity and respect for diversity.

“We are exploring alternative ways to celebrate the season in future years, that will be inclusive of all children and reflect the rich cultural diversity of our community.

“We appreciate your understanding and support as we make this transition. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

“Thank you for your continued support.”

Norwood Primary has been approached for a comment.

A sewage worker was reportedly sacked over a post calling Hamas ‘disgusting terrorists’ on an internal staff site.

Severn Trent Water (STW) immediately suspended Damon Joshua, who was then dismissed without notice following a disciplinary hearing.

In the post, which included an image of the Israel flag, Mr Joshua wrote: ‘One year ago our valued partners and friends, Israel, were horrifically attacked by a group of violent and disgusting terrorists. I can say the vast majority of STW’s employees stand in solidarity with our Jewish, Israeli and Zionist colleagues against the evil of Islamist terror.’

The post was taken down by managers after other staff complained ‘the terminology was very derogatory’ and ‘is very one-sided’, it was reported.

Mr Joshua told The Sunday Telegraph: ‘It happened in a matter of hours. I made the post at 7.50am. 

At 1pm I got called to a meeting room. My manager and her manager were there and I was suspended… They used the word ‘derogatory’ for the words I had used to describe a terrorist organisation, which shocked me. 

How could it be one-sided or derogatory to oppose a terrorist? Surely this is only one-sided.’

Mr Joshua appealed his dismissal for gross misconduct but was unsuccessful.

A Severn Trent Water spokesman said: ‘This is a complex employee relations case and it’s important to be clear that this is not the whole story nor an isolated incident.’

The far left has always engaged in the politics of projection, but now the truth is coming out with their latest fascistic actions.

Have you ever wondered why the far left is so obsessed with fascism and National Socialism to the point that they regularly project these pejoratives on the pro-freedom community?  It’s all about maintaining their tattered old big lie, a falsehood running on fumes these days. 

It’s to the point that you can’t even get a rise from leftists on the subject when it was only a few years ago that they were full of bluster if you dared point out that the Nazis were leftists. 

These days, they avoid the issue, hoping that, like ‘Russia Collusion,’ if they just keep quiet about their old lies, they can bolster the credibility with their newest.

For the far left, everything is working against them these days. 

Their old lies are falling apart, they don’t make any sense in the current political climate, and worst of all, they are acting like leftists as always, committing fascistic actions that would be right at home in any collectivist authoritarian state.  But it’s popcorn time for those of us on the pro-freedom right, so let’s review how bad it’s become for the far left.

Let’s start with the fact that their big old lie is disintegrating before our very eyes, in that “fascism is socialism with a capitalist veneer” being the best definition of the term. 

In recent years several books and videos have come out that eviscerate one of the left’s biggest – and oldest – lies:  outright denying that a “National Socialist German Workers’ Party” was a National Socialist German Workers’ Party. 

Even though Rudolf Jung, the man considered to be the ‘Karl Marx’ of National Socialism openly stated in the 2nd Edition of the Book National Socialism Its Foundations, Development, And Goals, published in 1922:

(T)he party’s now more clearly-defined socialist character was also reflected in the adoption of its new name.

Or that the original Social Justice Warrior stated on several occasions Ich Bin Sozialist — I Am A Socialist. 

The books that have come out recently have thoroughly destroyed this lie, to the point that you rarely see leftists seriously trot it out anymore. 

We have well-researched books such as Killing History: The False Left-Right Political Spectrum,  Hitler’s National Socialism with a Dad Saves America video podcast with the author, and equally researched videos that also systematically dismantle the left’s big lie, including one that is 5 hours long entitled: Hitler’s Socialism | Destroying the Denialist Counter Arguments. 

This was followed up by a ‘shorter’ version that is only 43 min long entitled: Hitler’s Socialism: The Evidence is Overwhelming. With a lie with more holes than a hunk of Swiss cheese, leftists have taken to the keep quiet tactic, hoping against hope that no one will notice and blow away their colossal bluff completely.   

But then there’s the fact that their current accusations don’t even make any sense.  Everyone’s ‘favorite’ gaslighter and senator, Adam Schiff, took to the Jimmy Kimmel show to complain that President Trump is a “dictator,” supposedly because he’s attempting to downsize the federal bureaucracy. 

Rep. ⁦@AdamSchiff⁩ tells Kimmel: “And we have to band together. We have to speak out. We have to push back. We have to show courage. The dictator wannabes … the only way to defeat it is by standing strong & saying, basically, ‘Screw you, I won’t be intimidated.’” pic.twitter.com/EpluMLxuOB

What kind of a dictator is working hard to shrink the size and power of the federal government?

Leftists should realize that doesn’t make any sense.  The popularity of the un-Democratic party is sinking like a stone, and that could be one reason why.  Because no ‘dictator’ in history has ever tried to shrink the size of their government and diminish their power base, but they can’t seem to figure that out.

The problem for them is that the New York Times said the quiet part out loud with this auspicious headline: With Orders, Investigations and Innuendo, Trump and G.O.P. Aim to Cripple the Left.

Mr. Trump and his allies are aggressively attacking the players and machinery that power the left, taking a series of highly partisan official actions that, if successful, will threaten to hobble Democrats’ ability to compete in elections for years to come.

As is the case with every collectivist or fascistic state, they exploited the government to fund their astroturf operations, and now that it’s threatened, they’re losing their minds.

But worst of all for the far left, they are finally going full Nazi committing fascistic actions that would be right at home in any collectivist authoritarian state, as outlined by AT contributor Ned Barnett: Today’s Real Nazis Are In America, But They’re Not Who You Think: Kristallnacht Musk 2025.

For those without a clear understanding of what the Third Reich’s Nazis 1.0. Kristallnacht was, and what today’s Kristallnacht against Elon Musk and his companies is all about – consider the original Kristallnacht, and consider what today’s far-left Nazi 2.0.s are doing to Tesla.

Except for the religious overtones of what the original Nazis did during Kristallnacht v.1.0, it’s remarkably similar.

Does this massive and at least semi-official victimization sound familiar?  If you’ve been watching the firebombing of Tesla cars and trucks, as well as Tesla dealerships, it should sound familiar.

All their projection and accusations based on their ridiculous big lie are being blown away by their fascistic actions, and Sasha Stone very appropriately stated Embrace Your Inner Fascists, Democrats. It’s time.

The Democrats lost their minds so thoroughly and completely over Trump’s win in 2016, that they decided this was now their country and everything in it belonged to them. They amassed an unprecedented alignment of power, uniting government with all cultural and corporate institutions. It was all for one and one for all. You know, like the very definition of fascism?

All sticks bundled together as one! A fasci!
…

It would be communism, except the left needs to be seen as better, superior, smarter, more kind, more decent — not equal to everyone else. No, they don’t believe that. Fascism, that’s the answer.

Now that we’ve dispensed with the left’s big lie, it can be seen that the collectivist ideologies of communism and fascism both belong on the left side of the political spectrum.  And that to aptly prove this point to everyone, the far left is running around acting as they always love to project.  Now that they’ve gotten in touch with their inner Camicia Nera or Blackshirt as in Benito Mussolini Squadre d’Azione, maybe they can embrace their collectivistic non-religious faith and stop projecting it on the pro-freedom right.

An “act of faith” worth 5.8 billion euros to the “new Syria”: The Donors Conference organized by the European Union certifies the change of pace in the West’s relations with Damascus after the fall of Bashar Assad’s regime and the arrival to power of Ahmad al Sharaa, known as “al Julani”. The conference raised 5.8 billion euros in loans and grants, 80 percent of which from the EU. From the Commission alone, Ursula von der Leyen announced, 2.5 billion euros are arriving in Damascus.

Six billion a week after the worst religious pogrom in recent history?

A new regime ruled by a former jihadist who until December had a $10 million bounty on his head, who is building an Islamic dictatorship and who has just organized a religious pogrom of Alawites?

It is eye-opening. Mouth-dropping.

Once the massacres were over, the dictator welcomed in Brussels formed his new government: 21 ministers, all Sunni Muslims and of 154 government appointments, 150 are Sunni. Not bad for “diversity”.

Meanwhile, the European embassies in Damascus are reopening: today the German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock flew to Syria. Two months ago the dictator had refused to shake her hand. But evidently there is no “Sofagate” that can stop her.

Amine Ayoub of the Middle East Forum warns: “You cannot go from being an al-Qaeda affiliate to a human rights defender overnight.” He emphasized the concept of taqiyya, used to describe the deception sanctioned by the Islamic religion to consolidate power.

Are Europeans stupid? Or a mixture of cynicism and naivety? Or is it corruption? We have seen Qatargate.

Is the EU aware that it is funding a Taliban emirate in the Mediterranean?

A bloodthirsty Islamist coalition, responsible for the massacre of thousands of innocents – Christians, Alawites, Druze and other minorities – has just taken power in Damascus. The European Commission, always ready to lecture Hungary on “rule of law” and “protection of minorities” to the point of cutting off its funding, remains strangely silent in the face of jihadist massacres. And when it comes out of its silence it is to announce 2.5 billion for the Syrian Caliphate.

I see it as an absolute scandal.

A group of Christians gathered on the border between Israel and Syria on the Golan Heights to ask the European Union, Israel and the United States to protect Christians in Syria. Shadi Khalloul, who helped organize the gathering, said: “We have stories of Christians in Syria killed by jihadists or captured by jihadists who tried to convert them to Islam by force. A man preferred to die rather than submit to Islam.” Khalloul is part of Israel’s Aramaic Maronite Christian community. “Some of these jihadists are saying it loud and clear to Christians: that your turn will come after the Alawites,” said Khalloul, president and founder of the Israeli Aramaic Christian Association.

Everyone knows that the UN agency for the Palestinians, UNRWA, is an arm of the terrorists in Gaza. Yet, the European Union continues to shower them with money.

The Islamic University of Gaza lists four projects on its website that the European Union has funded.

The German government has spent 8 million euros of taxpayers’ money “to improve the energy efficiency of mosques in Morocco”.

The European Commission has allocated 80 million euros to Muslim Brotherhood NGOs. Not to mention that the Commission has allocated another 24.3 million euros per year to Erdogan to help Turkish women take care of their children so that they can return to work.

Europe appears to be subservient to these regimes.

Those six billion make me think that the blindness is even deeper than I suspected. As for the consequences of this inexorable rise of radical Islam in Muslim countries and in Europe, it is safe to say that we have not yet seen anything of what awaits us.
