"In Israel, a country no less discriminatory, racist and abusive than the United States, and which has a military dictatorship in part of its territory, there is no significant protest about the way weaker people are treated. Africans are abused and Palestinians are shot, and with the exception of a few organizations and a few brave citizens, the majority either cheers or yawns." Black Lives Matter in Israel? Sounds like science fiction

My own experience confirms this.  I recall what a new colleague of mine, a white British man, told me about "human rights" in 2011. “It’s hard not to feel like the government is doing it deliberately, not just to create a hostile environment for people who are here ‘illegally’ but [also] to make it more difficult for people supporting them … and I think everyone anticipates that at some point there will be legislation deliberately aimed at the organisations that support, for example, undocumented people, to make it more difficult for them to be accommodated and to make it more difficult for people to get advice.” How UK immigration system is geared to reject Related: G4S in Qatar and the UAE

A group of people armed with a Bolshevik-Marxist programme are planning the overthrow of "the American way of life":

This is what "left" means according to the BBC. A mother of two, she came to power with a traditional centre-left focus on stronger welfare policies but also a promise to be tough on immigration. Last year she announced plans to place a cap on "non-Western" immigration including refugees and family reunions, to be voted on every year in the Folketing. She also proposed sending asylum seekers to reception centres outside the EU, for example in North Africa, for their requests to be processed. — the BBC Denmark has taken part of the American intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Civilisation "Denmark plans to house the country’s most unwelcome foreigners in a most unwelcoming place: a tiny, hard-to-reach island that now holds the laboratories, stables and crematory of a center for researching contagious animal diseases. As if to make the message clearer, one of the two ferries that serve the island is called the Virus." Denmark: Virusing migrants

"The growth of large-scale migration is after all part of the system of corporate globalisation that took hold in the past 30 years and widened inequality both within and between countries. It's also been fuelled by 15 years of western wars and intervention from Afghanistan to Somalia. And in Eastern Europe, the exploitation and migration of low-waged and skilled workers has been central to the neoliberal model imposed after 1989."

These regimes are human trash

An example of how we do business in Britain A BBC Panorama undercover investigation , has just reported that  abuses and assaults on asylum seekers by G4S staff in a detention centre near Gatwick Airport. Many have heard of the Olympics 2012 scandal by the same security firm. However, the trail of crimes of G4S is long and that has not prevented the British government from encouraging crime.  What other examples do we have: the crimes of the banks (triggering the 2008-09 crisis and austerity), HSBC banks money laundering, Panama Files, a court ruling that selling arms to the Saudi monarchy is legal (although we know it used in killing Yemenis), most aggressive neoliberal regime and the second least regulated product market in the EU
