With widespread Zionist pressure campaigns and billionaire attempts at controlling our speech & access to information, this topic becomes more urgent by the day.As we saw with the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran situation, with pop star Pink’s entitled tantrum, with the endless condemnations of Mark Ruffalo, Hasan Piker and Abdul El Sayed over completely fabricated allegations of antisemitism — these outrage cycles are based entirely on shielding Israel from criticism (while it commits endless atrocities), not on a principled anti-bigotry stance.This is something that even many western extremism experts are failing to cover or articulate.Join me for an in-depth look at this topic.Find the extended version via patreon: https://www.patreon.com/nicemangos/posts/ep-115-fascism-169848973Links:Mark Ruffalo fires back at Paramount Skydance https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/aug/24/mark-ruffalo-fires-back-paramount-oracle-accused-antisemitic-tropes-israelHasan Piker is being smeared for saying what others have https://youtube.com/shorts/h4IxFPQvtNo?si=BLd3CrroUdPSgjJWWhat Hasan actually said https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social/post/3mtwro633zk2rPink faces backlash after reposting a statement from pro-Israel group https://x.com/qudsnen/status/2097289749463503037?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50LqwPink Criticized After Demanding Ed Sheeran Refund Fans Over Macklemore https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/pink-criticized-demanding-ed-sheeran-132156443.htmlThe smear campaign against Abdul El-Sayed is built on lies, Islamophobia and hate https://www.metrotimes.com/news/the-smear-campaign-against-abdul-el-sayed-is-built-on-lies-islamophobia-and-hate/Oracle exec delights in ‘Scary Technology’ unleashed on Gaza https://youtu.be/t1Rok0IPhiQ?si=mNwlNLXr2E5tcuoDTop Donor to IDF is buying up US media https://youtube.com/shorts/8EAOmMvZRYc?si=hsRuRvQOuHX13pFsGermany approves nearly $1bn in arms exports to Israel https://thecradle.co/articles/germany-approves-nearly-1bn-in-arms-exports-to-israelHow Nicaragua defended its ICJ case accusing Germany of complicity in Israel's genocide https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/how-nicaragua-defended-icj-case-accusing-germany-complicity-israel-genocideHouse just Voted to Integrate Israel & the US Military https://youtube.com/shorts/7zewIhvs6SE?si=W8PH1ebxhKwe_jnfIsraeli envoy calls Italian magazine antisemitic over settler violence coverage https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-envoy-italy-calls-magazine-antisemitic-over-settler-violence-coverageGenocide Denial in Holocaust Studies https://jacobin.com/2025/01/gaza-genocide-holocaust-studies-germanyBake sales for Gaza could stoke Jew hatred, EU warns https://www.yahoo.com/news/bake-sales-gaza-could-stoke-122320754.htmlLondon hospital takes down artwork by Gaza schoolchildren after complaint https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/27/artwork-gaza-schoolchildren-removed-chelsea-and-westminster-hospitalGuest at Jewish American Summit tells Muslims to GTFO of America https://x.com/middleeasteye/status/2095130486536372645?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50LqwJasper Nathaniel’s call to action for Jewish Americans https://x.com/infinite_jaz/status/2096330117505052709?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50Lqw'Symbolic' UK sanctions on Israel aim to avoid Washington's wrath https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-symbolic-sanctions-israel-avoid-washington-wrathFake US thinktank set up and funded by Israel sought to game AI for propaganda https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/26/fake-thinktank-israel-ai-propagandaIsrael Paying influencers for propaganda https://responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-influencers-netanyahu/US House passes bill penalizing universities that participate in boycott of Israel https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/03/israel-boycott-university-ban-billUK Lawyers for Israel calls to proscribe Doctors Without Borders as terror group https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-lawyers-israel-calls-ban-doctors-without-borders-terror-group Hosted on Acast.

Concerned about rising antisemitism? The largest portion of blame should be placed on institutions that deliberately conflate Zionism and Jewish people… institutions that deem any criticism of Israeli war crimes, Israeli war criminals, and a state actively engaged in gen0cide…as antisemitic.

Join myself & Canadian journalist Scott Martin for a discussion on the increase in the normalization of extremism in Canadian Mainstream media. We talk about how that phenomenon is deeply connected to the constant whitewashing and normalizing of genocide, ethnic cleansing, zionist extremism that our media ecosystem here is built to do. We discuss the downfall of Canadaland & Jesse Brown, the recent far-right anti-anti-Zionist event held by Tafsik in Toronto, our problem of home grown extremists including Gad Saad, Jordan Peterson & much more!Unlock the extended version here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/159961283Links:White Supremacist Ideas Are Entering Canadian Media and Politics https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/05/06/White-Supremacist-Ideas-Canadian-Media-Politics/Globe & Mail articles referenced in the conversation https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-israel-sue-new-york-times-article-rape-of-palestinian-detainees/https://archive.is/9YXkhhttps://archive.is/URvIgFind the 3-part investigation on Jesse Brown's antisemitism series on The Catch: https://readthecatch.ca/jesse-brown-doesnt-feel-any-obligation-to-contribute-to-propaganda-is-that-true/https://readthecatch.ca/how-what-is-happening-here-prioritizes-zionist-narratives/https://readthecatch.ca/final-verdict-on-jesse-browns-antisemitism-series-dont-waste-your-time/B’nai Brith is misleading the public about antisemitism in Canada: https://www.ijvcanada.org/bnai-brith-is-misleading-the-public-about-antisemitism-in-canada/Israeli foreign influence, interference, and transnational repression in Canada: https://www.cjpme.org/israeli_foreign_influenceJewish Currents podcast episode: On the Michigan Synagogue Attack https://open.spotify.com/episode/5gr4ZXzl2rbE5vmn4TAgzZ?si=gDpdBeKoQXCPhaYk6371RQPolite Conversations Amsterdam Episode that was mentioned in this ep: https://open.spotify.com/episode/69rGp8OV9Wi8IFcNJoq8kh?si=_hGmLaCzS5Cmkb0qu7FXkAFind the extended version here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-88-israeli-in-117803351?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkPolite Conversations ep on Opposing Genocide in Australia: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2b6dpAMOsS9WwMesUSw1rl?si=VLYDA3fkQjS7yG0uBNnz0gExtended version: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-107-cost-of-156816921?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkCityNews Quietly Deletes Praise For Vigilante Groups: https://readthecatch.ca/citynews-quietly-deletes-praise-for-vigilante-groups/On Chabad & the extremist Rabbi:https://x.com/ireallyhateyou/status/2000175388471820756/video/1https://bsky.app/profile/nicemangos.bsky.social/post/3ma2ebijqfk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/nicemangos.bsky.social/post/3ma4qe2dp6k2lGad Saad has invited WN’s & Holocaust Deniers on his show https://x.com/nicemangos/status/1716173266010706410?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50LqwMohammed El Kurd, Drones vs. Tropes: https://mondoweiss.net/2023/09/jewish-settlers-stole-my-house-its-not-my-fault-theyre-jewish/https://x.com/m7mdkurd/status/1713883318943424870?s=61&t=w7q_ejvwZ_gCFj9WV50LqwOur PM referring to ‘Israel’s right to defend itself’ during a call about the abuse, torture and rape flotilla members faced after being abducted in international waters https://bsky.app/profile/nkalamb.bsky.social/post/3mmpijg3tgs2eOur Minister of Foreign Affairs centering antisemitism during a similar conversation https://bsky.app/profile/nkalamb.bsky.social/post/3mmpijg3tgs2eDebunking of Israeli propaganda which the Canadian Govt helped fund: https://electronicintifada.net/content/israels-7-october-rape-hoax-gets-300-page-reboot/51405Canada Exported $14.6 Million Of Military Goods To Israel In 2025 https://www.readthemaple.com/canada-exported-14-6-million-of-military-goods-to-israel-in-2025/ Hosted on Acast.
