Ixtu Diaz believes recent regional elections in Castile and León, Spain, foretell what could happen throughout the West. Despite past publicized corruption, Diaz points out in The European Conservative, the ruling Socialist Party (PSOE) under Pedro Sánchez was able to keep its 30 percent vote share, which Diaz ascribes to Sánchez’s tight media control, opposition strategies and engagement of far-left voters. Meaning, socialists cling to power despite the people’s somewhat rightward shift.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
