Pro-Hamas extremists are flooding social media platforms with calls for attacks on Jewish communities and other targets in the U.S. and Europe, prompting U.S. law enforcement agencies to step up their readiness postures amid deep concerns about possible violence, American officials and private analysts told NBC News.
Tuesday’s explosion at a hospital in Gaza is threatening to become a flashpoint, they said, with posts on X and other platforms portraying it as an Israeli atrocity using an American-made bomb, despite an assessment from U.S. intelligence agencies that the damage resulted from an errant missile fired by a Palestinian militant group.
Groups linked to Al Qaeda and American neo-Nazis have been seeking to exploit the ongoing war to encourage attacks, according to two separate intelligence products obtained by NBC News.
“You must attack them in their homes, shops, posts and places of amusement … Tear their bodies apart, let their blood flow and take revenge for your martyrs,” said one Al Qaeda post quoted in an intelligence bulletin by the New York Police Department, which has maintained a global intelligence network since 9/11.
A Homeland Security official told NBC News that the DHS is monitoring a “heightened threat environment” in the U.S. and is concerned about attacks on Jewish-Americans, as well as Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans.
A separate intelligence bulletin by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank that monitors extremism on the web and feeds information to law enforcement agencies, said Al Qaeda-linked groups and others posted a series of messages in response to the Gaza hospital incident, calling for attacks on U.S. and Israeli embassies and other targets.
Antisemites of a feather flock together I guess.
How do neo-Nazis decide which side of the Israel-Palestine conflict to attack first?
Historically it would’ve been a clear choice: Nazis worked with Palestinians against Jews – even with Hitler calling arabs “half-apes” and other fun things. Dunno how modern nazis think about all this.
Depends on the Nazi funnily enough,
Ya got your Christofash nazis who fetishize israel for their big prophecy that explicitly says setting the stage for it to he fulfilled is a fool’s errand, and then you got your ethnostatist nazis who think israel is a test case for their own ideas about ethnostate shit, and then you’ve got the turner diaries set who don’t care who they gotta be friends with if it means they get to keep the dream of nuking Jerusalem alive
Historically, Nazis will always side with the group that pushes their agenda. Then abandon that side.
Look at the gays who support Nazis. Once their use was gone, bye bye.
Maybe it’s whichever one isn’t backed by a gov’t, cause the last time Nazis fought against gov’ts it didn’t go so well.
When did US intelligence agencies investigate the hospital event? I may have missed that article.
Hitler had an Arab legion. I guess some people let themselves be used for a cause, sadly. The pro-Hamas extremists don’t seem to realize that the Nazis would turn around and shove them in the ovens right after they do it to the Jews.
