Sacha Baron Cohen is being roundly condemned for his latest racist skit on national TV.
But few people know how closely he has worked with both US and Israeli intelligence throughout his career.
My @MintPressNews investigation explores this:

DSA was founded as a liberal zionist org in 1982 and today a Palestinian House Rep @RashidaTlaib just led a chant of “Free Palestine” in a room of 1,500 people. Progress is possible. Fuck you, Michael Harrington.
I’m going to need my comrades to stop speaking on Hamas until they’ve read the charter they adopted in 2017 & the communications they’ve put out since Oct. 7th. Believe it or not, Hamas’ official line is emphatically not antisemitic, consistently expressing opposition to ZIONISM.
Socialists must work to stop any expression of antisemitism in the movement as well as any slogans aligning ourselves with conservative, antisemitic forces like Hamas, the Houthi or the Iranian state. These self-marginalizing tactics are a dead end.
"The antisemites will become our most loyal friends, the antisemite nations will become our allies." – Theodor Herzl, father of modern Zionism
The ADL knows who their friends are.
This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on
Wild that some people have already forgotten what “Tel Aviv party culture” looks like: a music festival just outside of the world’s largest concentration camp.
nyc-dsa didn’t even apply for national to endorse @ZohranKMamdani. the dsa right, particularly the ones working for his campaign, want zohran to distance himself from us but then use him to gain power in the org. remember this at convention.
no the joke is typically heavily, if not entirely, premised on the accent being something to laugh at. like if they tell those jokes without the accent you quickly realize it’s not a joke by itself
