It is absolutely appalling to see white supremacists openly declaring their support for both Hitler and Trump. As Trump rallied in Grand Rapids, these extremists gathered in Howell, chanting their admiration for two of the most despicable figures in history. The fact that these individuals have the audacity to publicly praise Hitler, a man responsible for the deaths of millions, is sickening beyond words. It is a disgrace to the memory of all those who fought against the Nazis during World War II, including my own grandfather who risked his life to defeat such evil ideologies.
The inherent weakness of these white supremacists lies in their need to gather and express their hateful beliefs.… Continue reading

After 8 years of violent rhetoric, MAGA media has now resorted to blaming Democrats for a shooting incident involving a Republican candidate. It’s ironic how the narrative quickly shifts to pinning responsibility on the opposing party when it’s their own supporters engaging in violent acts. The shooter in question was a registered Republican who had conservative leanings, yet somehow the blame is shifted to Democrats and Biden for inciting violence.
It’s baffling to witness the blatant attempts to deflect accountability and shift blame onto others when it’s clear that this incident stems from the years of divisive and hateful rhetoric propagated by MAGA media and its allies.… Continue reading
The recent rant by a MAGA Governor candidate calling for violence and the killing of “some folks” is not just disturbing, it is dangerous. The normalization of such hateful rhetoric is a stark reminder of how far we have drifted from civility and common decency in our political discourse. When a candidate, a person running for a position of power and influence, stands up in a church and advocates for violence against those with differing viewpoints, we must take notice and take action.
The idea that anyone who criticizes conservatives online should be killed is not just extreme, it is indicative of a deep-rooted intolerance and ignorance.… Continue reading
As a Jew living in the 13 EU countries included in the recent poll on experiencing antisemitism, the findings didn’t come as a surprise. The staggering statistics, where 96% of Jewish respondents reported encountering antisemitism, resonate deeply with my own experiences and those of others within the community. What struck me the most from the poll results was the consistency across countries, all averaging above 90% in the prevalence of antisemitism. This universal issue highlights the systemic nature of hate and discrimination faced by Jews in Europe.
The survey results shed light on the different forms of antisemitism encountered by respondents.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news about the French far-right candidate dropping out after a picture emerged of her wearing a Nazi cap, I can’t help but feel a mix of shock and disappointment.

The fact that this individual thought it was acceptable to wear such a symbol speaks volumes about the normalization of extremist views in our society.
The reactions to this incident highlight a broader issue of rising nationalism and far-right extremism that seems to be gaining ground worldwide.

“Ungrateful people”: GOP candidate marks Juneteenth by telling Black people to leave U.S.
The recent comments made by GOP candidate, Ms. Gomez, regarding Juneteenth and Black people in America are not only shocking but also deeply concerning. To suggest that Black people, who have endured centuries of slavery, discrimination, and systemic racism, should leave the country if they do not like it is not only absurd but also incredibly ignorant. The insensitivity and lack of understanding displayed in her statement are emblematic of a larger issue within the Republican Party and American society as a whole.
The irony of Ms. Gomez, a Colombian immigrant herself, telling Black people to leave the U.S.… Continue reading
