[ad_1] I recently wrote about a new elite strategy of peppering us with anti-Arab, anti-Muslim propaganda ahead of the 2026 elections. Since then, we’ve also started to hear quite a lot about a sinister “red-green” coalition—red for communists, green for Islamists—threatening the very existence of our republic.
