Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is doubling down in the new year, emboldened by the right-wing expansion in the world with the historic election of Donald J. Trump in the US, and several developments in Europe – in Romania, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK… and many other nations. The ’most powerful person in Europe’ Meloni is riding this wave, reigniting her much-praised and much-maligned plan to send ‘asylum seekers’ (a.k.a. illegal migrants) to Albania for processing and posterior deportation. The right-wing government in Italy is bucking against the pressure from their own Globalist unelected Judicial system. Reuters reported: “Italy’s...

TRANSLATION OF STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT OF COLOMBIA. Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I...

I recoiled at the thought and was even more alarmed at my lack of ability to sympathize with the Palestinian people’s suffering.

My mom is a Middle Eastern history scholar and passionate about advocating for Palestinians. When we’d travel to Israel, we’d make it a point to also visit Arabs in Israel as well as in the West Bank. In college one...
