Anti-Semitic National Day of Hate Planned by Neo-Nazi Group in the US

A National Day of Hate against Jews has been organized by the National Socialist Movement (NSM), a neo-Nazi organization founded in Detroit in 1994. This move comes amidst the increasing prevalence of antisemitism in the United States. According to a leaked memo from the New York City Police Department's Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau, the NSM encourages like-minded individuals to display racist and antisemitic messages by dropping banners, stickers, and flyers or scrawling graffiti on public property. The group is listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) website as the political party for white Americans of European origin who are heterosexual and not anti-Semitic.

The NSM's core beliefs include defending the rights of White European people, preserving European culture and heritage, promoting White racial separation, and strengthening family values. However, many of their beliefs are deeply rooted in antisemitism. The group's website claims that most social, economic, and psychological problems in the modern world originated in Jewish thought or practice. The group also idolizes Adolf Hitler, who they describe as "the beloved Holy Father of our age" and "a visionary in every respect."

The NSM has been involved in several rallies in recent decades, and its members have been accused of committing violent and racist acts. The group has also formed a coalition of white nationalists known as the Aryan Nationalist Alliance, which later changed its name to the Nationalist Front. Sines v. Kessler, a case in which the individuals in charge of planning the "Unite the Right" event in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, a federal court in Virginia found the NSM and former head Jeff Schoep guilty of civil conspiracy charges in November 2021.

Despite declining membership, the NSM is the largest neo-Nazi group in the US, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Recently, the group was linked to the neo-Nazi demonstration at the opening of Parade, a Broadway show about a Jewish man who was lynched in 1915.

The New York Police Department has not identified any threats ahead of the National Day of Hate, but it is still urging the public to remain vigilant. The NSM has a long history of promoting racism and antisemitism, and their activities have caused harm and pain to many. It is important to continue condemning their actions and stand up against hate and bigotry. The ADL stated, "Despite the presence of a half-dozen neo-Nazis, New York City will remain no place for hate."

The rise of antisemitism in recent years has been alarming, with hate crimes targeting Jews increasing frequently. This coming Saturday in New York, a "National Day of Hate" will be dedicated to Jews, according to the National Socialist Movement (NSM). This neo-Nazi group was founded in Detroit in 1994.

The Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division of the New York City Police Department has issued a warning stating that the online event organizers encourage people to participate in biassed actions such as hurling banners, sticking stickers and fliers, and scrawling graffiti.

The NSM has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which states that it was the largest membership-based neo-Nazi group throughout the 2000s and 2010s. The group experienced a drop in membership and demonstrations before seeking a resurgence in 2015 by joining forces with other white power groups.

The NSM's website describes itself as "the political party for every patriotic White American of moral strength and good character." It openly welcomes members of "non-Semitic heterosexuals of European genetic descent." The group's core beliefs include the following:

"Defending the rights of White European people."

Preserving European culture and heritage.

Strengthening family values.

Promoting White racial separation, with many of these beliefs deeply rooted in antisemitism.

The NSM claims that Jewish people "infiltrate institutions, control the narratives generating anti-western agenda for decades, controlling media to divide classes and races and bring mass immigration into America," according to its website. The group also idolizes Adolf Hitler and has held numerous rallies in recent decades, including the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017.

After that rally and a "white lives matter" rally in Tennessee in October 2017, the NSM and the National Front fell off the radar due to legal complications and dissolution from member organizations. However, the group has been on the rise in recent years, despite a decline in membership.

Burt Colucci is the NSM's current leader, and the organization has been connected to the recent neo-Nazi protest at Parade, a Broadway play about a Jewish man hanged in 1915. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) stated that "sharing Leo Frank's story is crucial given the disgusting antisemitism on full display outside the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre last night during a premiere performance of Parade."

The New York Police Department has not identified any specific threats ahead of the planned "National Day of Hate" but has stated that it is closely monitoring the situation. In times of such uncertainty, it is crucial to remain vigilant and promote unity, love, and acceptance. We must not allow hate groups like the NSM to spread their message of intolerance and bigotry.
