I can’t say I agree with Frum when he criticises Australia for not prosecuting people for waiving Palestinian flags.
Frum other views that we need to reduce immigration to restore “the feeling of belonging to one united nation, responsible for the care and flourishing of all its people”.
Antisemitism is unacceptable, but could we not post articles by xenophobic Bush advisors?

Frum nails it. This is PRECISELY what “globalize the intifada” and other such chants mean.

David Frum is right here.
Everyone here and in sane spaces recognize that the people with white pointy hats marching to the tune of “they will not replace us” are the political equivalent to cancer in our countries that should be ostracized with prejudice. If you cheer those people on, you are not welcome in our liberal democratic project. You may have the right to say what you want in a free society, but there is a reason why many of them are wearing masks and hoods to hide their faces.
Yet there is a reticence to impose the same social and political consequences to these pro-Palestinian activist movements for their coddling if not outright support for far more incendiary antisemitic statements. What happened to “ten people sitting at a table with a Nazi”?
