Yes, White Racism is an International Terrorist Movement

According to the ADL:

"14 Words" is a reference to the most popular white supremacist slogan in the world: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The slogan was coined by David Lane, a member of the white supremacist terrorist group known as The Order (Lane died in prison in 2007). The term reflects the primary white supremacist worldview in the late 20th and early 21st centuries: that unless immediate action is taken, the white race is doomed to extinction by an alleged "rising tide of color" purportedly controlled and manipulated by Jews.
Because of its widespread popularity, white supremacists reference this slogan constantly, in its full form as well as in abbreviated versions such as "14 Words", "Fourteen Words," or simply the number "14."
"The 14 Words" that guide and inspire white racism are the core posture of their movement.  They define a simple goal, which itself is not illegal or violent.  People who see themselves as purely "white" racially wish to keep purely "white" people present in the world.  But that is not what the white supremacist movement is doing.  They believe in the superiority of the white race, which then demands power and control over the inferior - meaning all of humanity.  Whereas their racial goal could be peacefully met by simply choosing spouses or engaging in voluntary genetic testing, and artificial insemination of the genetic stock they prefer, they actually advocate for - and pursue - violent acts of murder and terrorism against their perceived mongrel hoards (Jews, Muslims, immigrants of all color).
The 14'rs are not just racist, but violent extremists who have proven that their correspondence, manifestos, and actions are international in nature.  They fall in the category of International Terrorists as a result, and must be added to the FBI watch list.  Due in part to the excesses of the Hoover FBI, the FBI does not maintain an official list of domestic terrorist organizations.  It is time to soften the line for the White Supremacists who now stretch around the world in a brotherhood of murder and hate.

Representative Omar and Anti-Semitism


How To Define Anti-Semitism

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a first term representative from Minneapolis MN’s 5th district, recently accused AIPAC of buying influence in Congress.  Ms. Omar was born in Mogdishu, Somalia, is a naturalized American and is the first African-American, female, Muslim Representative in history.  Ms. Omar has been a consistent critic of Israel in the past, accusing Israel of humanitarian and political evils, but is she “Anti-Semtic?”

In a tweet from 2012 Ms. Omar said, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.  In this past month, she described her view that the Israel lobby buys off members of Congress to be pro-Israel. Regarding AIPAC (The American Israel Political Affairs Committee), she tweeted: “It’s all about the Benjamins [$100 bills], baby.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi put out a statement that Ms. Omar’s “use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters” was both offensive and wrong, and that she needed to apologize.  Ms. Omar’s apology included a rejection of “Anti-Semitism” and acknowledgement of hurt feelings. But this is not the only example.

The Labor party in England, under Corbyn in particular, as also been strongly condemned for “left wing” Anti-Semitic content in its criticism of Israel. Several members of the party left in 2018 and in February, in part citing this reality.  In France, elements of the “yellow vest” protests have been accused of anti-Semitism in recent weeks. So much so that President Macron announced that they will accept the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition from now on:

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.” In their explanations, this includes denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.

As Purim reminds us of Haman and Amalek, there will always be those who accuse “the Jews” of this kind of ugliness.  Yes, Ms. Omar, Mr. Corbyn and others – there is a line beyond which you cannot hide as mere free speech.  And we will call you out on it.
