“The essence of the Active Club strategy is to fool law enforcement into believing that this is just about sports. They want to avoid the five o’clock in the morning SWAT team raids that they had experienced previously.” Alexander Ritzmann @alexRitzmann via @PhilNvestigates hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/fun-in-fasci…

The threat posed by Active Clubs should not be measured in size: “Even a small local chapter can function as a recruitment hub, a training environment, and a bridge into wider transnational extremist networks."

Abe Foxman dedicated his life to fighting antisemitism. A Holocaust survivor and longtime ADL leader, his legacy is one of moral clarity and relentless advocacy. May his memory be a blessing.

On May 11, 1960, Israeli Mossad agents captured notorious Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Argentina and smuggled him out of the country to stand trial in Israel for crimes against humanity. Eichmann was found guilty and executed on June 1, 1962. The anniversary of Eichmann’s capture is a reminder that though it may be delayed, justice will eventually prevail.

Anti-Semitism is a virus—and it’s spreading. The wrong response risks making things worse. spectator.com/article/anti-s… via @spectator
