So does the Alt-Right support the right of self-determination and national autonomy for the Palestinians in Israeli-Occupied Territories? Yes, but there has to be physical separation. So one way or another, the "occupied" has t

Unhappy about the lies? One things that separates the Alt Right from in the US the moribund and dying movement conservatives and libertarians is that we're willing to use any weapon the Left uses. That is, one thing that distinguish
