"An Garda Siochana and CSO figures show that no causal link between immigration and any form of crime or delinquency has ever been recorded in Ireland. What they do show is a 12% uptick in hate crimes between 2022 and 2023, and a massive surge in misinformation surrounding migrants and criminality."

Irish Examiner · Séamas O'Reilly: I think anti-racists are right to be on high alertBy Séamas O'Reilly

Considering the direction of travel this week by the #Tory Leader, who hasn't actually met any of the victims she is so desperately concerned about
her party & their fake concern over victims of sexual abuse.

Her stupid Minister Philp demanded that breakdown of nationality of those who were preceeded against. Labour has already released it!

When you read it you will wonder why the #Tories didn't release themselves? (83% White) #opportunistic #fake #dogwhistle

2/ 🇨🇦 voices:
Conservative leader, #Poilievre has posted another ad, this time defining "Bring It Home." In it, he says that #immigrants have told him personally they think #Canada "has changed into something they ran away from."
He also calls Canada "hellish," "dystopian nightmare" which reminds me of Trump's inaugural speech where he mentions "carnage." -@kathrynmathias

👀 Poilievre is claiming #Canada is worse for immigrants than in the countries they fled.

>> #Bibi has to continually expand the scope & intensity of the war to stay out of jail

And to influence the outcome of #US #Election2024

He and the rest of #Iran's #AxisOfResistance just have to keep #permanentStateOfWar alive in #MiddleEast for another 99 days.

#Netanyahu wants nothing more than a #convictedFelon like #Trump who will not only help keep Bibi out of prison but also give him tools to #finishTheJob quickly — a #dogWhistle to kill Palestinians

@daniellesatm #antisemitic beliefs are horrid, but a minority.

Most people with a negative opinion of Israel are antizionists - many of them Jews themselves. They do not harbor violent thoughts, but only oppose the apartheid which is today's Israel.

Your equating #antizionism to #antisemitisim is a #dogwhistle meant to snap all Jews to support the segregation project. You are manipulating them with fear.

#Zionism is a 100year project to hijack #judaism. People of the world see through it.

This is vintage #Trump. He’s not explicitly advocating #unrest. He’s not even explicitly mentioning unrest in this case. But he is suggestively pointing to something very bad around the corner if he doesn’t get what he wants.
And as w/his recent “bloodbath” comment, the point is not that this comment is a particularly egregious example of a #DogWhistle to his supporters; it’s that it’s merely the latest in a long line of suggestive comments. The context is key, & the track record is unmistakable

So my city sent me this email yesterday, which idk seems really fucking weird and dangerously uncalled for. Don't be shocked to see hate crimes spike in San Bernardino in the near future. 🙄

Like, I know that San Berdoo had that ISIS shooting 10 years ago, but seriously? This isn't the same thing. Different situation, different dynamics, zero imminent threat to USians. Something stinks here.

@myeyesaredim @CanadianCrone

The whole "concerned parents" thing is also a much more bigoted #dogwhistle

It invokes the hegemonic homophobic (literally phobic, fear-centred) view of the 1950s, as shown in this small example of many anti-gay films that were made then.

The idea was that all gay men wanted to go after any young boy they found, to both get their kicks and transmit the "disease" of homosexuality.

This is what those "parents" are "concerned" about.
