From Ceuta to Australia: The War on Migrants

<p>In this episode of <em>The Antony Loewenstein Podcast</em>,Antony examines how immigration is being weaponised across the West, and how mainstream media outlets increasingly amplify far-right narratives aboutmigrants and refugees. Using the recent events in Ceuta, the Spanish enclave bordering Morocco, as a starting point, he explores the context often missing from sensational coverage, including poverty, unemployment, politicalrepression and the reasons people are forced to leave their homes.</p><p>Antony also unpacks the rise of Fortress Europe, the role ofborder agencies such as Frontex, the treatment of refugees in places like Greece and Libya, and how anti-immigrant rhetoric has become central to far-right politics across Europe, the UK, the US and Australia. From Nigel Farage and Donald Trump to Pauline Hanson and Australia&#39;s offshore detentionregime, this episode investigates how fear, insecurity and misinformation are shaping the migration debate, and what a more humane alternative could look like.</p><p>Produced by Lena Helou and Lem Zakharia.</p><p>Support independent journalism and donate here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUnJUUUxJSVpubnlfME8zV1NhWFpQaXxBR3JiS2FreGt3MVZLTURjX0xuRk9ZV3pUVXN1N0RjeDV0aEZhd0dscl9xUEpobURxSDUzODUwSEZ1MFZ4aFItQ1ZreEs5dkhwMzJiYndHUmFMTkZXWWFzeVlXWWVQWlRlRDJQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F4rqn9wF&v=l2_7uGyonoI" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4rqn9wF</a></p><p></p>
