According to Israeli media outlets, the ‘International Conference on Combating Antisemitism’ being held in the occupied city of Jerusalem this month – organised by Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry – has invited far-right and conservative figures from across Europe and the West for attendance.

Such figures include Jordan Bardella, the leader of France’s far-right National Rally party, Argentina’s president Javier Milei, MEP Hermann Tertsch from Spain’s far-right Vox party, MEP Charlie Weimers from the far-right Sweden Democrats party, French MEP Marion Maréchal, and MEP Kinga Gál from Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party.

    Interesting how they ironically invited the most anti-semitic people to a combating anti-semitism conference. The only reason they’re not publicly expressing it (other than all the Hitler praising they’re doing) is because they have a common enemy, plus Israel has an incredibly far-right apartheid govt.

    Also interesting how Americans generally see pro-Palestinians as far-left and everywhere else it’s seen as normal and pro-Israelis are seen as far-right, crazy how polarised a two-party state can make people, zero critical thinking.

    It is well known that the far-right have always opposed anti-semitism /s

    This conference is clearly about “combatting” something else. That they refer to it as “combatting anti-semitism” is just disgusting.

      Nah they’re all anti-semites (as seen by all the Nazi sympathising they’ve been doing) but they’re far more Islamophobic, plus all the Israeli lobbying and how incredibly far-right Israel’s current govt. is and the whole 9/11 situation.
