I hate to put rightwing kook's words into the ether, but this conflict among #US right ideologues over #antisemitism has real world repercussions for real world Jews. So understanding the factions seems relevant. Sigh.

"#CandaceOwens, a #rightwing political commentator and author, has been espousing inflammatory positions on numerous topics about #Jews and #Israel. I sat with #DennisPrager to hear his response to the recent wave of malicious statements. Owens worked for #PragerU for one year, in 2021. #Prager addressed a 15-page letter to her in 2024, expressing his concerns about her political positions and activism but received no reply..."

In a pointed interview, Prager dismantles Candace #Owens’ disturbing claims—from alleged #Jewish dominance in the #slavetrade to #conspiracy theories implicating Jews in global conflicts and even #CharlieKirk’s #assassination—while warning of the dangers of such claims for Jews, #Christians, and even the #US #Republican party."

Do you know how fucking terrible a human has to be to make me root for that sack of shit Ben Shapiro? Pretty terrible.

"#Conservative commentator #CandaceOwens sharply criticized #BenShapiro in a recent #podcast episode, responding to his remarks at #TurningPointUSA’s #AmericaFest conference where he condemned her for spreading #conspiracytheories.

#Owens, in profane language, dismissed #Shapiro and referenced historical #antisemitic #tropes, including claims about the #Talmud and #Jewish involvement in the Atlantic #slavetrade. She held up a copy of “Der Talmudjude” (“The Talmud #Jew”), an 1871 book by #AugustRohling, a 19th-century #Catholic #priest whose work has been widely discredited as relying on mistranslations, selective quotations and fabrications to portray #Judaism as hostile toward non-#Jews."

We don't hate #England enough.

It's basically the #USA of #Europe. A whole country built on some of the worst atrocities in human history.

Literally created the #USA and #Israel, built its #wealth on forced #labor and #land theft, and is turning full #fascist now even under #Labour.

#Enclosures of the #commons, the #Atlantic #SlaveTrade, #financing the US #GildedAge #RobberBarons, the #Bengal famine, the #BalfourDeclaration, #TERFIsland... all England.

A quotation from Daniel Webster

At the moment when God in his mercy has blessed the Christian world with a universal peace, there is reason to fear, that, to the disgrace of the Christian name and character, new efforts are making for the extension of this [slave] trade by subjects and citizens of Christian states, in whose hearts there dwell no sentiments of humanity or of justice, and over whom neither the fear of God nor the fear of man exercises a control. In the sight of our law, the African slave-trader is a pirate and a felon; and in the sight of Heaven, an offender beyond the ordinary depth of human guilt.

Daniel Webster (1782-1852) American statesman, lawyer, orator
Speech (1820-12-22), “First Settlement of New England,” Plymouth, Massachusetts

The West African country of Benin is granting citizenship to descendants of enslaved people in an effort to attract the Black diaspora, acknowledge its own role in the slave trade, and promote tourism. “By legally recognizing these children of Africa, Benin is healing a historical wound. It is an act of justice, but also one of belonging and hope,” Justice Minister Yvon Détchénou said at a ceremony in the city of Cotonou during which U.S. singer Ciara received her citizenship. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Читаю, как несколько богатых стран повышают свою недоступность для бежен:ок, конечно же называя страждущих ксенофобным (правым) словосочетанием «н. м.». И одновременно придумывают взаимообмен бежен:ками «по схеме один за одного». Вот это не траффикинг и никакая не работорговля, просто бартер людьми, которых мы для начала перестанем называть людьми. bbc.com/russian/articles/cd78l (статья анонимная) #racism #refugees #slavetrade #humanbarter #trafficking #properslavetrade
