>The group claims there were 13 murders motivated by extremism in the country last year. Eleven of them, the ADL contends, were committed by right-wingers.
>The ADL has long padded its “right-wing extremism” by including incidents of non-ideological criminality by perpetrators suspected of being white supremacists.
>This year, though, virtually none of the incidents listed by the ADL as having been committed by “white supremacists” or “far-right anti-government extremists” seem to have any political motivation. >The list includes murders that occurred during attempted prison escapes, sex crimes, robberies and family squabbles, none of which has anything to do with furthering the tenets of white supremacy or any cause.
>In one of these supposedly “right-wing extremist” incidents, the police have yet to find a motive for the homicide.
>The only characteristic that qualifies all these acts as “right-wing” is the perpetrators being identified as possible white supremacists, usually by their tattoos.
>Does the ADL check as well to see if murderers have hammer-and-sickle tats or copies of Che Guvera’s “The Motorcycle Diaries” in their homes?
>In only one of 11 murders classified as right-wing on the 2024 ADL list was the perpetrator clearly inspired by ideology.
>Defamation (Hebrew: השמצה; translit. Hashmatsa) is a 2009 documentary film by Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir. It examines antisemitism, the way perceptions of antisemitism affect Israeli and U.S. politics, and explores the suggestion that claims of antisemitism are exaggerated or weaponized to stifle dissent against Israel. A major focus of the film is the Anti-Defamation League. Defamation won Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2009 Asia Pacific Screen Awards.
>>518749011 (OP) > On June 1, a deranged pro-Palestinian terrorist carried out a violent attack in Boulder, Colorado, shouting “Free Palestine” and using a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to seriously injure people peaceably assembled to call for the release of prisoners held by Hamas – including a Holocaust survivor. Just weeks earlier, another deranged terrorist – who also shouted “Free Palestine” – shot and killed a young, innocent Jewish couple at an event outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. I am keeping the innocent victims and their families in my prayers.
>These two tragedies are the consequences of the Left-wing antisemitic terror movement. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), last year was the worst for antisemitic incidents since ADL began tracking over forty years ago. On college campuses, terrorist sympathizers have spray-painted swastikas on buildings, attacked Jewish students, and called for the genocide of the Israeli people. A radical pro-Hamas supporter was arrested for bullying young children while they were on the playground at a private Jewish K-12 school in Florida. And families are being harassed on their way into synagogues, which have received hundreds of bomb threats and hundreds more antisemitic threats. It should come as no surprise that deranged individuals are acting on the rhetoric by radical student groups and terrorist-supporting mobs who want to bring Hamas’ war against Israel here to the United States.
>Unlike President Biden, who turned a blind eye to the Left-wing antisemitic terror movement, President Donald Trump is taking action.
>In 2023, domestic extremists killed at least 17 people in the U.S., in seven separate incidents. This represents a sharp decrease from the 27 extremist-related murders ADL has documented for 2022—which itself was a decrease from the 35 identified in 2021. It continues a trend of fewer extremist-related killings after a five-year span of 47-79 extremist-related murders per year (2015-2019). One reason for the trend is the decrease in recent years of extremist-related killings by domestic Islamist extremists and left-wing extremists.
