We have posted this video a few times before, but it does add context to the Tweets below it.
Is it my imagination, or in the top photo, was Arafat more Mao than Muslim? Also note the classic antisemitic libel of Jews as Christ killers. Quite an ironic symbol for those who are also so vehemently anti-Christian.

Ion Mihai Pacepa, Romanian spy and star defector who revealed the sordid reality of the Ceausescus and their regime – obituary

I’m always suspicious of turncoat spies. Every one of them is an experienced liar.
Pacepa checks all the Western conspiracy theory boxes Soviet-era spies were taught with utmost rigor.
Doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can learn from them. There’s plenty.
But gullible “Kremlinologists” tend to lap up every confidence these “brave dissidents” impart. They know what their Western interlocutor wants to hear. Some continue to make their entire careers off Golitsyn, Kalashnikov, and Bukovsky.
If they turn their coat once they can do it again.
2023:
The Soviet influence on anti-Semitism
The Soviet influence on contemporary left anti-Semitism is uncanny but it is also vital to appreciate what has changed.
The extent to which the contemporary “left” has appropriated its criticisms of Israel from the old Soviet Union is remarkable. Although it is over three decades since the country’s mainly unlamented demise its motifs and tropes in relation to Israel live on. It paved the way for presenting anti-Semitism in an anti-Zionist form.
