The Anti-Defamation League on Friday said it was glad Steve Bannon, a former White House strategist, was removed from his post. A champion of the nationalist-populist agenda that carried Trump to power last November, the 63-year-old Bannon left a White House reeling from the fallout over the presidents response to a violent white supremacist rally. With Trump under fire for insisting anti-racism protesters were equally to blame for violence at a weekend rally of neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, the president faced renewed pressure to let Bannon go.

Riding the waves of extremism and hate, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) staffer Naomi Dann asserted in The Forward that Spencer was right, that Zionism is akin to white supremacy. Lets unpack the strands of outrage and the manipulation of fact to further political agendas: First Spencer: He seems to be suggesting that in his call for a white state in America, he is articulating an idea that is conceptually similar to the Zionist idea of a Jewish state in the land of Israel
