How TikTok bots and AI have powered a resurgence in UK far-right violence

Less than three hours after the stabbing attack on Monday that led to the death of three children, an AI-generated image was shared on X by an account called Europe Invasion. It depicted bearded men in traditional Muslim dress outside the Houses of Parliament, one waving a knife, behind a crying child in a union jack T-shirt.

The tweet, which has since been viewed 900,000 times, was captioned: “We must protect our children!” and shared by one of the most potent accounts for misinformation about the #Southport stabbings.

Experts have warned that new tools and ways of organising have seen Britain’s fractured far right exploit the Southport attack to unify and rejuvenate its presence on the streets.

In a surge of activity not seen for years, more than 10 protests are being promoted across social media platforms such as X, TikTok and Facebook in the aftermath of violent disorder up and down the country.

My grandfather remembers neighborly relations with #Jews before 1948. For #Palestinians today, such a prospect seems nearly impossible.

“In those days,” he went on, “It didn’t matter who you were, where you came from, or what your religion was. The important thing was to love one another. The Levan family celebrated our holidays with us, and we did the same with theirs.” These were glimpses of the old days, when life was more stable on this land and people could more easily accept each other, whether they were #Muslim, #Christian, or Jewish — glimpses into a time before tragic political events broke these bonds.

Another image widely shared by pro Israeli bots and accounts on Twitter and Instagram

This is so ridiculous that proves that almost everyone sharing this have never talked to a Muslim or seen a Muslim pray or even Asked a Muslim about it before sharing it.

Wearing shoes, glasses when praying is just so ridiculously stupid that only an idiot would believe it.

But sadly our world is full of idiots.

A good read piece by Jonathan Freedland

Beware Suella #Braverman and all the other vultures bent on exploiting #Jewish and #Muslim pain

There is a special place in hell reserved for people who exploit the pain of others – and it’s becoming very crowded. It’s filling up with those who look at the war between #Israel and #Hamas, and the grief and fear it prompts in the hearts of Jews and Muslims especially, and see not tragedy but opportunity – a chance to advance their own interests. ...

... But nor does she care whether she ignites a tinderbox. British Jews have been in a state of anxiety and fear since the brutal murders committed by Hamas in southern Israel on 7 October. Antisemitic incidents have surged by more than 500% compared with the same period last year, each day bringing word of more. ... Islamophobic attacks have risen by a similar proportion. ...

In service of the cynicism and the exploitation is the distortion of the Israel-Palestine conflict, forcing it into a pre-existing ideological frame. In this field, Braverman has company. Witness the associate editor of the Spectator, Douglas Murray, who has long railed against what he sees as the threat that Islam and Muslims pose to Europe and the west. He is using the current crisis to press that case, telling one US interviewer this week that Humza Yousaf has “infiltrated our system”, and that he is not really first minister of Scotland, but rather “first minister of Gaza”. Murray has thoughts too on the future of #Gaza, writing that “it could be a good time … to clear all the Palestinians from that benighted strip”.

The pro-Palestinian left will look on all this and rightly be appalled. And yet the left is not free of its own tendency to flatten and squeeze Israelis and Palestinians into a shape that fits its worldview, even if that means riding roughshod over some pretty elementary facts. ... Activists from the Black Lives Matter movement have been quick to identify Israel-Palestine as simply another front in the battle for civil rights, one that can be smoothly mapped on to the racial politics of the US. ... It also rests on an assumption that Israeli lives are “white lives” – when in fact about half of all Israeli Jews are not white by any definition, but Mizrahi, with roots in north Africa and the Arab world, most of them the descendants of refugees pogromed out of their homes in Iraq, Yemen, Morocco or beyond in the aftermath of Israel’s creation in 1948. ...

The point is, this conflict has its own complex history and its own shape. It should not be bent and twisted to fit the doctrinal dogmas of others, and it should not be used by politicians and hucksters to push an agenda, build a brand or pursue their own selfish ambition. There are too many people grieving on the ground there and racked by fear here for that. If you’re looking for fuel to feed your own hellfire, back off – and find some other agony to exploit.

#Muslim #Democrats in the #US have given #Biden an ultimatum

If the president does not achieve a ceasefire in Gaza by 5pm Washington time, Muslims will work against raising funds and votes for his re-election in 2024.

The National Muslim Democratic Council issued a statement saying:

"Your administration's unconditional support, including funding and weapons, has played a significant role in perpetuating the violence that is causing civilian casualties and undermining the confidence of voters who previously trusted you."

Yet the #US administration currently opposes a #ceasefire in #Gaza, as it does in #Ukraine.

PS. This is a really terrible situation, because who ever the republican candidate is, he will be the same, if not worse than Biden./Farhad

The 9 Muslim Majority Nations Most Well-Disposed to Accept #Palestinian #Migrants, 2023.

Selection criteria:
Greater than 20 million pop
Greater than 0.25% of world land area
Less than 500 people p/Mi²

These #Muslim majority nations have enough #land, #wealth & Muslim #population to absorb & #assimilate their fellow #Muslims from the territory formally designated as #Palestine.

No Muslim majority #nation seemed to #care too much about the #Uyghurs, so let's see if they care about the #Palestinians, or if #Islam really isn't all that important to them beyond being a #political & #paramilitary tool.

“I wish the world could see the incredible outpouring of support #RabbiSamWoll and our #Jewish community have received, especially from our neighbors here in #Detroit. #Muslim and #Palestinian community leaders have sent messages of heartbreak and support, and shared that they are reciting duas — powerful prayers of supplication and worship — for Sam and her family.” #RabbiAlanaAlpert #Tchiyah #Michigan cc: @theforward@mstdn.social https://forward.com/opinion/566818/samantha-woll-death-muslim-jewish-solidarity/
