THE SAMENESS OF nATIONALISTS:
There's a Proud Boys chapter in Israel (Molly Boigon, October 1, 2020, the Forward)
The Proud Boys, a club of self-identified "western chauvinists" who have been energized by President Donald Trump's request during Tuesday night's debate that they "stand by," have a chapter in Israel, despite the group's association with antisemites and white nationalists.
It's because of the mutual legitimization of Trumpist hatred of black fellow citizens and Zionist hatred of Palestinians.
