Sinn Féin for nine years. (It merged with two other organisations to form Fine Gael in 1933.) Anti-Treaty Sinn Féin members continued to boycott the Dáil. At a special "Ard Fheis" in March 1926, de Valera proposed that elected members be allowed to take their seats in the Dáil if and when the controversial Oath of Allegiance was removed. When his motion was defeated, de Valera resigned from Sinn Féin; on 16 May 1926, he founded his own party, Fianna Fáil, which was dedicated to republicanising the Free State from within its political structures. He took most Sinn Féin TDs with him.
Alex Fein Fein, together with Bracha Rafael established an interfaith publication called, The Colony. It formed a launchpad for Fein's activism against Islamophobia. Fein founded Macroscope, a communications and product development company specialising in biomedical research counter-disinformation. Following The University of Wollongong's conferring a PhD on Judy Wilyman for a thesis propagating anti-vaccination misinformation, Fein's company embarked on a campaign to have the degree revoked. Fein has strongly condemned what she perceives as a corrupted organisational and philanthropic culture in Jewish Australia. Her own philanthropic activity has been unconventional, and her opposition to establishment practices has been criticised as simplistic and naive.
