Is this borne out of Islamophobia or are we witnessing a political realignment?

It is no exaggeration to state that we live in truly interesting times and the last few weeks have provided compelling material to justify this line of thought.

Across the channel, you had Marine Le Pen, the head of the far right party, came out to speak in defense of the IDF and the Israeli government.

Not wanting to be left out of the action, the National Front, here in the United Kingdom also made supportive noises and also backed it up by turning up to the Pro-Palestinian protests which took place last Saturday, the 11th of November, which is known in these parts as armistice day.

And what actually took place was quite horrific.

Hundreds of trouble makers spurred on by the profoundly racist conservative politician — Suella Braverman — broke the police lines, leading to several police officers sustaining serious injuries.

And right before our very eyes, we saw something which we thought that we would never live to see: the unholy alliance of Zionists and the far right.
