Terror in Charlottesville 8/11/17

Washington Post reporter Joe Heim: "Counter-protesters fought back, also swinging sticks, punching and spraying chemicals. Others threw balloons filled with paint or ink at the white nationalists. Everywhere, it seemed violence was exploding. The police did not move to break up the fights."

Hunter Wallace, a far-right blogger at Occidental Dissent: "The streets were not barricaded. Violent antifa [anti-fascists] were not penned in their own area as per our agreement with the Charlottesville Police Department..."

Political Violence Coast to Coast
Activists Proud Boys and ANTIFA
Clash in New York, Portland
NYT October 11/18 By Avi Selk, Source

Street beatings and melees broke out on both coasts this weekend during confrontations involving the Proud Boys and antifascists � ideologically opposed movements that both condone political violence and practice it with some regularity on their opponents.

sometimes antisocial
always antifascist

10,000: In 2019, almost 10,000 people were killed in jihadist-related violence in Africa, comparable to the number killed by similar conflict in Iraq in Syria during the same period. The global coalition of forces in the Sahel region � which includes troops from the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and many other countries � is larger than the current US fighting forces in Afghanistan 5/7/19

225: The US military launched 24 airstrikes in Somalia in January and February, killing 225 people. Washington has intensified its fight against Al Shabab militants in the East African country�in all of 2018, the US carried out 47 airstrikes in Somalia, killing 326 people.

Negative stereotypes about Jews are largely rejected in France

In France, home to Europe�s largest Jewish population, reports of anti-Semitic incidents rose dramatically in 2018. These incidents run counter to public opinion: A majority of French adults r eject negative Jewish stereotypes and express an accepting attitude toward Jews. Editor's Note:

These attacks are a result of how France who controlled Syria after WW1

and the very bloody French-Algerian War.

49 Killed and 48 Injured in
New Zealand Mosque Shootings 3/15/19

Prelude: "As dozens of countries develop national frameworks for countering violent extremism (CVE), they now have the benefit of research to help guide their strategies and policymaking. But despite this more sophisticated understanding of the multiplicity of factors that fuel radicalization and recruitment, policies and programs to counter violent extremism are too often driven by political factors and other considerations rather than data and other evidence. Nowhere is this more apparent than when it comes to the role of religion in CVE, where religion plays a much greater role in policy response than the research indicates it should." Editor's Note: The same concept applies to the post WW 2 spread of Communist. Source

Top News: Gunmen stormed two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand on Friday, leaving some 49 people dead and 48 injured, according to the New Zealand Herald, in what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called a well-planned �terrorist attack.�

�These are people who I would describe as having extremist views that have absolutely no place in New Zealand and in fact have no place in the world,� she said of the assailants.

Four people were arrested in connection to the attacks. One of the alleged attackers�Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian national�live streamed the shooting, creating a harrowing, 17-minute video and issued a manifesto explaining his actions that draws heavily on the ideas of white nationalists and fascists, including the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik and the Nazi-era British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley.

Data from the past decade shows a decline in anti-Jewish hate crime through 2015, when 51.3 percent of religious hate crime offenses targeted Jews or Jewish institutions. The figures rose to 54.2 percent in 2016 and 58.1 percent in 2017.

US, Germany, and France Hate crimes are recently up sharply.

Publics' perceptions of anti-Semitism is high,
East European attitude is not a good thing.
