  Basically left wing progressives are inherently anti-male and anti-white male and social media helps amplify and push these beliefs far and wide because left wing progressives and women are supplying them with easy content

  You’re describing the liberal wing of the U.S. Democratic Party. A “left-wing progressive” would be someone like Bernie Sanders.

  Have a look at this:

  I’m not the person you asked, but his 2019 Bernie Sanders interview was really good.

  Thanks, glad to hear you have a similar group over there. Here in the U.S., the two groups I had previously mentioned have been excoriated by the head of the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League:

  In November 2023, the Anti-Defamation League classified protest events led by groups including Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow as “anti-Israel”, adding the protests to a database documenting rising antisemitism in the US. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt labelled the organizations “hate groups”.

  (Bold added for emphasis; he is apparently unclear on the concept of defamation.)

  Zionists pretend to speak on behalf of all Jews, but never have

  For what it’s worth, here are two notable U.S.-based Jewish peace groups:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Grow up': Rudd goes after Tenacious D for a Trump joke. It's 2024, baby!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ralph Babet, United Australia Party’s senator for posting on social media, was first to leap into action, demanding the band be deported:

  I call on the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to join me in denouncing Tenacious D, Jack Black and band member Kyle Gass, and I call on the Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to revoke their visas and deport them immediately.

  This is the same senator who in April refused to take down graphic footage of the attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel from his X account because: “Without free speech our nation will fall”.

  In the U.S., this kind of hypocrisy is so common that people apparently no longer notice it – if they even did in the first place.
