Over to you, Dim Chalmers.
Once again other people have been warning them repeatedly of the folly of their grand schemes – the cost, the ineffectuality, and the damaging consequences, only to be labeled myopic, luddite, ignorant, self-serving, and corrupt.
When finally it dawns on them that their utopian dreams don’t work and now they have new problems, the very things they were warned about, they gravely declare that they have discovered unexpected problems that no one had foreseen.
Well, they are hardly going to admit they were wrong.

Columbia is a private institution.
If people (Jews) are being assaulted or being unlawfully detained, the NYPD should respond.
If a pack of students take over a building, why aren’t they being treated like squatters?
The NYPD say they can’t do anything about squatters in private property.
Why should Columbia be given special treatment?
As far as I’m concerned, Columbia could burn down and the property given back to some Native American tribe to build a casino, for all I care.
Which is rapidly disappearing up its own private parts.
Good luck getting a jerb Columbia kiddies.

Dover, based on the thesis he put forward, Kiev was never the target.
It was a “feign” to use his terminology, especially as they only deployed one brigade.
They deployed a para and air landing brigade to create an air bridge to Hostomel. Then the plan was to air transport reinforcements into the airport while the rapidly moving paras took out the Ukie government. It would’ve worked if the Ukrainian Army hadn’t been waiting for them.
All depended on faulty humint. The Russian intel sector thought the Ukrainian population were going to support the Russian liberators. They were very wrong.
In the videos from the channel Dover alerted us to, no one serious took this view.
It’s pure maths & logistics.
Yep, two brigades never landed at Gostomel. It was two battalions.
Sorry, you know what I mean. The smaller of the two, as per his video series,
Do please read what I wrote. 😀
Air brigades are typically composed of para and air transport bns.
The Ukies as I recall shot down two transport aircraft on approach to Hostomel with follow up reinforcements. Whereupon the operation pretty much ceased.
The long line of stranded trucks were supposed to be the land based support, resupply and reinforcement thrust. They were stopped when the Ukies blew the Kiev water dam. The Russians then tried an outflanking operation to the west but by that time the Ukranian Army had gotten organized and repelled the advance to the NW of Hostomel.
You can plan a clever strategem, which this was, but the real art of war is to be able to extract your forces when it all goes to sh*t. Rommel for example was an expert at this. Amazing guy. Unfortunately the Russians weren’t able to do that.
The entire SMO was an attempt by (the) Putin to bring the Ukraine Govt back to the negotiating table.
On Feb 21st 2022, the Ukraine Army totalled over one million troops.
The population of Ukraine was 50 million.
Russia interceded on 22nd Feb with, ……., 190,000 troops!
Do those figures indicate a Russian army, preparing to push through Ukraine and take over Europe?
Let us hear from some real military experts, what say you, Knuckle Dragger, Lizzie and Bespoke? Remember, Lizzie read a book on war once and KD has VAST military experience to fall back on.
Please immerse us with your august military knowledge.
To be clear, he doesn’t straight out say “it was a feign”.
Based on the other scenarios put forward, it is the only logical conclusion.

No, I think his argument is that the air assault on Gostomel airport involved one brigade (firstly a battalion and then a follow-up battalion), and their purpose was to attract and absorb the attention of local UKR units in order to give the relieving motorised force through Chernobyl the space and time to get through. And here, rather than the 4 brigades of Kings and Generals, he’s arguing that the 2 NW approaches to Gostomel only have the space for two BTGs. See here.
I’ll get to the feign question a little later.
Doesnt he say that because it wasn’t division strength the Russians would have had zero likelihood of holding anything long term?
Therefore, as they weren’t suicidal, it was always a feign.
Not that I recall. The problem with the operation around Gostomel is that they needed a wider perimeter to allow sufficient resources to be flown in rather than routed through the Pripet Marches. As I said another time, is that the forces around Kiev were there to pin forces north or at the very least make the deployment of reserve forces north costly for the south. Also, to put pressure on Zelensky and persuade him to negotiate. Failing that, the forces north would have cost the Ukrainians in the south (Kherson, Mariupol and the land bridge) and given the Russians some time to build up for a long war.
I think you and I disagree on the definition of feign as it’s being applied in this case.
The maths & logistics regarding flying everything I took that option off the table.
Ie impossible.
Flying everything in.
For decapitation operation in Kiev via Gostomel, yes. The video conclusively establishes they would have needed well over 200 flights of equipment and troops in the Il-76s to Gostomel airport, and even then with minimal equipment to establish 2 brigades to make the 40 km or thereabouts run into the capital. And he concludes a company of Spetznatz deployed as the declaration of hostilities would have had more chance then former venture 3 or so days into the SMO.
I’ve just posted my summary Dover.
Tanks can’t be flown. The attack plan was likely not one picked by the Russian military or they thought the Ukr would welcome them as liberators … woefully under-resourced.
https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA2033-1.html
The problem with the RAND report is that assumes it knows what was planned. Moreover, given that Ukraine was just about to begin a large scale operation in the Donbas, they and the US clearly underestimated the Russians and their capacity to resist it.
Still, what was the plan according to you?
I’d go with a plan to execute a short, sharp attack on Kiev supported by flights into the airport. Russia (or Putin, to be specific) actually believed the propaganda about the UKR government being a corrupt small group that could be taken out easily by a few hundred Spetsnaz guys.
UKR plans in Donbas etc were not a factor in planning or execution, there has been low-level fighting for years and nobody on either side cared to make a full war until Russia invaded.
An inbred.
I swear this website doesn’t refresh until it’s damned well good and ready.
Where do they go Elbow? There’s not a single house, crisis centre bed, park bench available, anywhere.
I’ll get to the feign question a little later.
Surely it was a ‘feint’
feint
/fe?nt/
noun
verb
Feign is the term the chap has used on this video channel.
He is Canadian so maybe their take is different.
possibly they were feigning a feint – makes sense if the logistics planning (or lack of) is taken into account.
Ultimately only a handful of people know what the plan was.
Hamas deserves unconditional support, ANU pro-Palestine protest organiser Beatrice Tucker says
By noah yim
The organisers of the Australian National University’s pro-Palestine encampment protest said Hamas deserves “unconditional support” and has hypothesised that the Israeli military killed “its own people” during the October 7 attacks.
Beatrice Tucker, a student representative on the ANU’s student association last year and an organiser of the pro-Palestine encampment on campus, told ABC’s Canberra Drive yesterday that “Hamas deserves our unconditional support”.
“Not because I agree with the strategy, complete disagreement with that,” she said. “But the situation at hand is if you have no hope, if you are sanctioned every day of your life, if you are told you are not allowed to drive down a road because somebody who is Israeli who gets preference and you sit there for twelve hours, the reality of lives …”
“But Beatrice, that can’t justify what they did in October last year,” the host interjected.
“Nothing can justify what has been happening to the Palestinian people for 75 years,” Ms Tucker responded. “And essentially the UN coming in with the situation of a two state solution … You know the history of that place, of Palestine, the Palestinians before the UN came in with the two state solution actually were also under an English mandate, right? Palestinians were promised that they would have self determination.
“I will not condemn what Hamas did.”
Her co-organiser and current education officer on the ANU student association Luke Harrison agreed, saying: “No, I do not condemn.”
When the host intervened and asked about Hamas’ murder and kidnapping, Ms Tucker continued: “Well, that’s actually, the thing about babies being killed, the numbers are quite false, right? There’s been a lot of information, misinformation spread around about who killed who, right? And actually there is a lot of evidence to say that Israel and IDF themselves actually also did murder a lot of their own people.”
Australasian Union of Jewish Students ACT co-president Mia Kline said Jewish students on campus were feeling “intimidated, isolated, and misunderstood on campus” and that the encampment was “morphing into something quite frightening”.
“Beatrice Tucker, ANUSA education officer in 2023 saying on air that Hamas deserve unconditional support is nothing short of jaw dropping.
“To also make comments as to Israel murdering its own people when questioned about the babies being held hostage in Gaza is incredibly offensive.
“To have members of ANUSA, the peak student body on campus who is supposed to be apolitical, make these comments reinforces the belief among Jewish students that their voices are not as valuable or legitimate as others.”
The ANU is one of a handful of Australian university campuses where students have pitched tents to camp overnight, demanding that the university cut ties with Israeli counterparts and weapons manufacturers.

Top of mind technical location issues.
1) Competent foundation rock – reactors have massive concrete containment structures that need not to move for 60 years. Coal fired power stations look massive, but are largely empty space inside the outer structure;
2) Seismically stable, no significant earthquake risk – potentially a problem at the Lake Macquarie sites;
3) No underlying aquifers or water-bearing formations. If there ever is a containment issue you don’t want groundwater involved;
4) Access to bulk cooling water.
The other big issue – and for the Coalition’s timing and degrees of freedom, the biggest – is climbing over the multiple IAEA processes for licensing the facility.
Thanks Dr. F.
I assume the Lucas Heights facility passed all those requirements – though I thought there would be doubts re 4 maybe even 1. .
Lucas Heights is a tiny 20MW reactor, used for research and production of medical radioisotopes.
Unlike power reactors it is cooled by the pool of water that it operates within.
The reactor (and its predecessor) was deliberately sited on the stable Hawkesbury Sandstone.
Dover, we’re probably leap frogging each other here.
My take, based on the video series so far, is that as a division could not have come south via land or air, meaning land couldn’t be taken or held if it was taken, the whole Kiev airport circus was feign.
What counters this.
1) The Russians were suicidal.
2) Putin told them to do it regardless.
But as you know the video series so far has been laying out logistical scenarios & saying what is likely considering how many time the piece of dirt has been fought over.
Hence the conclusion I come to, at this time.
Dover, as I posted in the nested comments, I think you & I are disagreeing on the definition of feign as it’s being applied in this series.
A division could, a div is at least two brigades, but its going to face at least a division defending, so can’t really overwhelm and exploit any breakthrough. Also, he’s not only talking about logistical limits, but operational ones. So in the section he says the 4 brigades need at least a 30 km frontage to be effective he’s talking about operational requirements that units needs like spacing to maneuver, disperse, etc. I’ll also note that at the end of the ep 6 he’s says he’s leaving what the Gostomel operation was aimed at if its not a claimed decapitation strike until the next video.
But if it was a feint/ pinning operation it likely involved holding forces west of Dneiper in place, so that the columns NE of Kiev would have more chance of breaking through to Kiev.
I also add that I don’t think points 1 and 2 are plausible. Putin and the MoD are cautious to a fault.

Guys, you really don’t want Shin Bet or Mossad to take notice of what you’re doing, do you?
The Israelis have learned that being Mr. Woke Nice Guy doesn’t pay dividends with the ratbag ranks of the ME. Hopefully some of their secret agents will return the favour in the fullness of time, or sooner.
For those interested, the hearings for costs have started.

This is existential cognitive dissonance. Western society is a pond and beatrice is pond scum. Hamas would rape and kill her but she supports hamas and wants to destroy Israel/Western society which enables her to exist. A society which does not deal harshly for such parasites is on it’s last legs.
The entire west is on its last legs because it won’t deal with these “things” harshly.
lol. Of Hairy Michael’s last six comments, four were rejected and two accepted. Not great encouragement of a valuable subscriber and highly-informed reader who would represent the views of the majority of the market the paper aims to serve.

If you post at the Oz via the app, it shows up immediately in my experience.
Or is this what you’re doing already ?
This is exactly why they lost my business about two years ago.

“From the person throwing themselves down the steps to the women shrieking (at least, I hope they are women) as if they are being abused, all of this is manufactured. These are actors playing a role.

Bruce Lehrmann should bear Ten, Wilkinson costs as case ‘doomed to fail’
By ellie dudley
Bruce Lehrmann should bear Ten and presenter Lisa Wilkinson’s full costs from the landmark defamation that found he raped Brittany Higgins, the network has argued, because the former Liberal staffer knew the case was “doomed to fail” from the outset.
But Federal Court judge Michael Lee on Wednesday afternoon criticised one of Ten’s lawyers for a “misleading” speech made outside court after his judgment was handed down in the matter, saying it could have some bearing on how costs are decided in the matter.
Justice Lee has also indicated he will consider whether an email sent to Ten’s lawyers from Ms Higgins’ lawyer in which she threatened to withdraw as a witness if the network offered to make any payment of damages to Mr Lehrmann should be a factor when determining costs.
This comes as Mr Lehrmann is granted an extension to appeal the judgment, having retained top media law silk Guy Reynolds SC to lead a new legal team attempting to overturn the findings.
Justice Lee earlier this month delivered the long-awaited judgment in the case brought against Ten and Wilkinson by Mr Lehrmann, which found the network successfully made out its truth defence and proved, on the balance of probabilities, Mr Lehrmann raped Ms Higgins in the office of Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds.

I am glad I had to take the day off and wasn’t in the CBD to see such a wretched spectacle. I have spent most of the day at a hospital bed with my elderly mother. She had a bad fall last night.
Hope she’s on the mend.
Sorry to hear about your mother.
All good wishes for a full recovery.
Speedy recovery for mum.
Cassie, my beloved 90-year-old Aunty Joan died two years ago after a fall at home. You must give your mum a harm minimisation program that makes it impossible for her to have another fall. Insist on her compliance because you love her.
My sister is 84, two years older than me and same age as Cassie’s mum. Sis had a TIA stroke and fell a week ago at home, she’s been in hospital ever since, she has broken three ribs from another fall in the hospital (she was probably disobeying orders). She was wobbly on her feet when I last saw her a few weeks ago and I suggested she use a walker, which she rejected. She has to use one now.
Remind your mum of this, Cassie. Obstinacy is not the answer.
I’m still dancing, went this morning, but I take more care now ever since cracking my coccyx falling on ice in Finland last January. That fall was unavoidable (unless I stayed home). A strong tall Canadian guy fell in the same way a few minutes later on that lethal pathway, people going down like the proverbial ninepins.
Falls are nasty for elderly people. But, IMO, hospital is even nastier.Hope your Mum makes a quick recovery and that she can soon return home.
Thanks everyone.
Re the US unis, I think we should start referring to the April 2024 insurrection.
Use the language of the leftards against them.
Ms Reynolds said she welcomed WA Supreme Court Justice Paul Tottle’s decision on Tuesday to keep the July trial dates for her defamation hearing against Ms Higgins.
‘I look forward to the trial so that we can bring an end to this dispute and move on,’ she said.
The senator also said Mr Sharaz’s decision to release a statement during court proceedings on Tuesday was ‘calculated’.
Reynolds is all over the tactics by Plonk and Knickerless.
Won’t have a bar of it. Justice Tottle won’t either.
What ever emerges from this case, Britney Higgins’s lack of knickers when the evil deed may, or may not have been done, is high on the list.
Gosh, I’m not aware that there are any trade unions currently operating in Gaza*. The main Palestinian trade union that operated in Gaza prior to Hamas rule was known to be strongly affiliated with Fatah. It was shut down by Hamas in 2007, not long after Hamas took over the strip, and its leaders hunted down.
There are trade unions in operation in Israel.
The Israeli tech community has organised labour in a way that gives Silicon Valley nightmares.
Not CFMEU type unions.
Ones that actually protect workers from exploitation.

“By pure co-incidence, this came through on my youtube feed this morning. I wonder what teenagers think of this lady?
Peter Boghossian and Katherine Burbalsingh”
Thank you for that link, hzhousewife.
I wouldn’t call Katherine Burbalsingh ‘strict’, as she has been frequently and unfairly. On the contrary, she really knows children and their learning patterns, as well as their needs in order to achieve. She is passionate about education and proud of her students extraordinary successes – particularly that they topped the national assessment tests for the past two years – after all the hatred and opposition that she has faced both from community and government.
Her secret: total rejection of the Left’s focus on DEI, CTR, victimhood (for her staff and students), child-led learning and complete freedom for children. Instead, she teaches her students to ‘work hard and be kind’, to accept self-responsibility and function within the behavioral parameters she has set down for everyone.
Yes, yes,yes! These are precisely the strategies used for teaching ASD students. Provide clear and immovable boundaries, with consequences – she even used the word ‘punishment’ – for breach of those boundaries. Impress that the teacher is the authority at school and challenges will not be tolerated. Use school time to teach ‘algebra and Shakespeare’, not gender studies etc.
Katherine Burbalsingh is my new heroine. How I wish I could have taught in her school.
The only downer : the bumbling, ill-prepared interviewer. No ordered sequence of questioning and at times, he failed to explore critical information, ie, her brief reference to ‘behaviour bootcamp’ for all new entrants to the school. Even so, I highly recommend this interview as a ray of hope in the sewer that is current education.
Do they teach “fries with that” in that course? Bad news for them then.

This is one of the sickest parts of the Australian political system: the only reason the incompetent immigration minister Andrew Giles hasn’t been sacked is that he belongs to prime minister Anthony Albanese’s socialist left faction.
Every decision of the ALP parliamentary caucus has to be approved by faction leaders.
We’re in one of the ALP’s rare periods in government when it is dominated by the electorally unpopular, anti-democratic socialist left which is more radical than the Whitlam regime half a century ago.
Albo won’t sack Giles because of factional allegiances, even though he’s incompetent.
Up yours, Australia.

Nothing opens the government’s cheque book as quickly as political expediency:

Little wonder the two are reportedly not on speaking terms.
Just can’t see the Liars can go to the next election under Albo.
His saving grace is that he is of the left, which faction currently holds sway.
That doesn’t mean he’s not expendable, though.
So was Gillard. Didn’t save her.
Albo didn’t even get 2 days out of his “Made in Australia” policy. They are looking completely reactive like when Gillard was circling the plug hole.

Reading and watching the Domestic Violence debacle going on right now, I hope they don’t rush through the usual “not thought out very well law changes”.
I am absolutely in the “*uck ’em, don’t give them bail”, camp, however, there has to be some way to sort the wheat from the chaff. I am thinking about the bloke who spent eight months on remand because of a rape fantasists’ lies.
Why do blokes with a history of violence, constantly get bail, said bail being funded by Tax Payers, yet an average bloke, who’s greatest crime has probably been vomiting on the pub floor, has his whole life destroyed, loses his job, friends, family and freedom, and nothing, nada, nyet. Not even an “oops”.
I am sure most here remember decades ago, Frank Hardy made a mockery of being jailed for not paying a ton of traffic fines. He spent the weekend in lock-up and commented, upon being interviewed as he was being released, that he had a good book to read, no drama.
After this travesty, rules were changed and when Jamie Partlich was locked up for the weekend to pay for his traffic fines, he was chucked into General Population his first day and was almost beaten to death by a thug. He ended up with severe brain damage.
I’m venting. You would think, at my age, I would be used to injustice. I hope I never am.
I am, I wish I wasn’t.
I’m venting. Riddle me this one. How do you deal with the aggrieved wife who thinks an accusation of domestic violence is a legitimate tool, when the property settlement isn’t going her way?
“Nobody believes a man when he says he didn’t do it, and a spell in jail will soften him up before I do a property settlement.”
The DM article indicated that Sharaz is settling.
Which I presumes means stumping up for costs and going away money.
He has no money.
He exudes bankruptcy.
Another good one for Bruce Lehrmann to practice his Federal Court procedure on.
This cheers me.

I went to see the movie Cabrini today, Megan mentioned it, possibly at Dover’s and my mother had seen it so I took my sister, limited showings at indi cinemas.
I guess it was a little lame, men bad/ woman indomitable but it was based on the true story of the US’s first saint, and that really is an amazing story. Now I know who the Cabrini hospital is named after.
And set, in part, in Five Points.
I have no idea why Americans called Italians ‘Guinea Pigs’ as an insult.

Not a good look for someone wishing to maintain victim status.
Also wondering Sharaz settling is a sign of trouble in paradise, this is a couple who like to do things together so much, they were matching outfits.
And Higgins claiming she had different recollections about her interactions with Reynolds and Brown, when did her habit of having different recollections start?
Lehrmann did himself in with his pathetic lying, but of course there is still a probability (obvious less than 50%) that nothing happened.

That was either a mistake by the Daily Mail or a deliberate red herring thrown out by Sharaz.
Sure, he wants it to stop, but a settlement requires the other party to … well … settle.
Yes.
It would.
But he hasn’t.
You would expect Reynolds would want all legal costs to date and an apology. Not an insignificant sum for settling and issuing a Statement of Claim in the Supreme Court and attending a days mediation. The difference in position between Dave and Brittany is interesting. God knows what to make of it.

I think they are playing smartarse legal and PR tactics.
Simultaneously emphasising that Sharaz and Britnah are separate legal entities, hoping to get Reynolds to drop the case against Sharaz on “blood out of a stone” grounds AND trying to project to the public that the “unilateral withdrawal” from the case by Sharaz was the end of BOTH actions by Reynolds.
Good to watch again.

‘He won’t buy a ticket on the Titanic’: Sharaz retreats as bid to delay Reynolds’ defamation row failsBy Jesinta Burton and Ezra Holt
Listen to this article
4 min
Lawyers for Brittany Higgins’ fiance, David Sharaz, have declared he can no longer fight the “titanic” defamation action levelled by WA Liberal senator Linda Reynolds as the court rejected Higgins’ bid to delay the looming trial.
The parties gathered for an urgent hearing on Tuesday, in which Higgins’ lawyers sought to postpone the six-week trial set down for July 24 until 2025 amid fears for her mental health.
Women and children to the lifeboats first – sorry, you must be wearing knickers…
Oh, Sharaz has simply abandoned having legal representation in the hopes dangling Brits will force Reynolds to fold.
It’s Reynolds who is under the care of a cardiologist, not Higgins.
Reynolds has mortgaged her house to pay her lawyers she’s not walking without costs and damages.
Both females claim mental health issues so I guess that means it’s my mental health problems are worse that your mental health problems isn’t going to be a winning argument.
I have no idea why Higgins wouldn’t have settled, before, let alone after Lee’s findings.
Rosie, as I stated yesterday, what’s the bet there’s an “attempted suicide” by Britney in the near future – that’s the next rung in the escalation ladder.
Meanwhile Channel Ten et al are vigorously pursuing blood from stone Bruce.
I agree that the Reynolds case could be the portent of doom for the matchy-matchy couple.
Very smart legally (for the purposes of the defamation case) to let Sharaz swing, declare bankruptcy and deny Reynolds any cash.
But what if they pursue this to the end?
Sharaz starts to find that being an undischarged bankrupt has real world consequences and starts to resent le gros cochon.
If they were smart (?) they would offer a lump sum settlement on behalf of both of them and a grovelling apology.
ZK2A, the Plonk and Knickerless know they are fcuked so are throwing all sorts of crap about, mainly for the media, that Reynolds will ignore.
That $2.45M of taxpayers money has been largely spent – time on the Gold Coast, Maldives holiday, matching clobber to fly away in and, of course, the shack in France. FFS, it would have cost a cuppla grand to ship the dog to France while they snogged in 1st class and then flying back to Perth. Then there’s the ongoing legal fees.
Whatever’s left they can see going down the court tubes in a few weeks in July.
Karma.
So, should we run a catallaxy death watch on when Bulk Brinny and Fat Conductor Sharaz will announce their split?
Definitely before August. They won’t last three more months.
Hah, Fat Conductor. No longer the Fat Controller.

All right, so Rodger Waters is an anti – Jewish arZehole, but my great grandfather was born in the shadow of Canarvon Castle…
As much as I despise rabid leftie John Schumann from Redgum, and know he never went to Vietnam, I like the song “A walk in the light green” aka “I was only 19”. I was called up in 1970, but failed the medical, to my enduring shame. Some of my friends are/were (they died) vets, but this video is, to me at least, the most powerful non-bullshit accompaniment to the music that I’ve ever seen.
I agree. I run a small ANZAC Day service at my local community each year. This year, besides the traditional ANZAC Day formalities we played The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, I Was Only 19 and Do You Hear The People Sing.
60 in attendance.
Although its a genuine grassroots part of the canon, and the contention around South Vietnam conscription, I don’t think A Walk… should ever be part of official proceedings.
“The Band Played Waltzing Matilda”. Apart from the original by Eric Bogle there’s been some good renditions of this song. The Pogues and Joan Baez come to mind.
But for anyone who served in Vietnam (not me) “I Was Only Nineteen” must stir some memories.
Good call Bruce

Conspiracy Theories and Antisemitism: Unveiling Trends Post-October 7th.
The above links to a very disappointing article from the International Institute for Counter Terrorism at Reichman University. Essentially, it pins practically every example of anti-semitic attacks post 7 Oct 2023 on an amorphous and vague ‘far right.’
While I don’t doubt that in Europe there are likely neo-n@zi organisations/street gangs and online activity, some of their evidence for attributing incidents to the ‘far right’ (and ONLY the right) is very loose.
One reference links to a broadcast news story about anti-semitic vandalism in the U.S., featuring the image of a male on CCTV who is clearly of African American origin. Without any further details, this individual is assumed to be ‘far right.’
They also use examples of placards at various public protests post 7 Oct, and indirectly lump those into the ‘far right’ basket also.
I don’t know much at all about the ADL in the U.S., but if this is the quality of research they support, they’re not doing themselves any favours.
