It began with interference in the judicial reform, continued with opposition to the milk reform, passed through blocking any structural change to the education system, and now with the false abuse of Israeli citizens during summer vacation.

The days are over where a gang of operators succeeds in paralyzing an entire country. The Religious Zionist [Tkuma] party proved in the last term that it is the only party that dares to fight this thuggery.

The time has come to dismantle these anarchist organizations!" - Bezalel Smotrich, Israeli Minister of Finance.

The Trump Administration's attempts to tie Communism to foreign foes is correct, but doesn't go far enough.

An effective battle against Communism will recognize it is not purely ideological.

Communism is no longer the working class vs. the owning class. It is the Third World vs. the First World.

The success of this shift of framing from an economic war to one of ethnic grievance is illustrated beautifully in the State Department's Cuba report which revealed "Cuban operatives sought to aggressively recruit American minority groups as internal revolutionary agents."

Americans must keep up and realize they are the extension of European Civilization and that Communism seeks to destroy us. If we don't fight on the same battlefield of identity, we will lose.
