On the positive side, these pro-Palestinian protests are bringing into the public eye the academic, media, and political networks that for decades have helped to promote jihadist propaganda and agendas but were always ignored. However, this new axis of hate cannot be ignored anymore as it is too obvious. Of course, one cannot generalize all [...]
With the growing calls for equality and tackling racism spearheaded by the Black Lives Matter Movement, the Indian independence leader Mahatma Gandhi soon became the target. His statue stands in Parliament Square in London, near that to Winston Churchill.
The latter has also become the target of protests. Churchill’s racist views are well-known, especially towards people [...]
The rebel yell was a battle cry used by Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War, when charging to intimidate the enemy and boost their own morale. The South had seceded in order to protect its ‘peculiar institution’ of slavery which was increasingly under siege by powerful abolitionist forces. [...]
