This is one of the 59 Afrikaners personally welcomed at Dulles airport by the deputy secretary of State and in what Marco Rubio called a “tremendous accomplishment”. That’s the same Marco Rubio who personally cancelled visas of darker skinned people who signed Gaza protest letters.

Racism is the goal, protecting jews is the excuse.

    tweeted Jews are ‘dangerous and untrustworthy’

    “That sounds like something Hamas would say”, would be the accusation. Hasn’t that been enough to get a number of immigrant students here in the USA locked up for months?

    “What to Know: Immigration Authorities Detain Tufts Student: Doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained leaving her home in Massachusetts and moved to a holding facility in Louisiana after being accused by ICE of supporting Hamas. Her visa has been revoked.”

    source

    So I expect the trump administration will be revoking that Afrikaner’s visa immediately for supporting Hamas, right? /s

      This statement is way too fucking true. My wife was verbally abused by a right-winger for representing the Australian Greens a few weeks ago, being labelled an “anti-Semite”. For anyone that is curious… The greens are outwardly condemning Israel and are not in the slightest anti-Semitic.

        I find this story suspicious because you are implying some idiot MAGA asshole has any awareness of Australian politics.

        I’m not calling you a liar, I just find this extremely strange. The best majority of them are extremely insular, which is a major cause of their bigotry and ignorance.

          There was a wave of vandalism in Australia that was basically a false flag (someone was paying petty criminals to graffiti Jewish landmarks), and it caused Parliament to pass a bunch of draconian laws to ‘fight anti-Semitism’. Criticising Israel can definitely get you in trouble in Australia as well.

      The average Republican doesn’t like Jews at all. By religious nuts, Israel is viewed as the guarantor of control over the Holy Land, and for slightly less religious nuts Muslims are just worse than Jews. Therefore anti-semitism is fine, not supporting the state of Israel isn’t. Crazy world.

      It blows my mind how many of the MAGA/Qanon folks openly talk shit about Jews with comments about things like “Jewish Space Lasers” and whatnot, and it’s perfectly acceptable. Anyone with a shade darker than white or not in that camp opposes an actual genocide, and they’re a terrorist. I know I know, rules for thee not for me bs. It’s just exhausting. And any attempt to try to point this out to MAGAts is pointless.

    I’ve about had it. If one more shitty, awful thing happens, I’m going to really start hoping that somebody leads the revolution for me.

    the South African fascist foot soldiers masquerading as refugees makes such a transparent statement from the Trump administration that it is blinding. people claiming there are no racial motivators are fucking delusional or purposely lying at this point. it’s one of the two and nothing else.

    “It’s a genocide that’s taking place," [Trump] said at the White House [in reference to white South Africans]

    I think I might have an aneurysm

    They haven’t had time to learn yet which ones are the “good” Racisms and which ones are the bad Racisms in the country they moved to.
