Proud Boys group is anti-semitic (if you did not already know this...)

Other hardcore members of the so-called "alt-right" have argued that the “western chauvinist” label is just a “PR c--- term” McInnes crafted to gain mainstream acceptance. “Let’s not bullshit,” Brian Brathovd, aka Caeralus Rex, told his co-hosts on the antisemitic The Daily Shoah — one of the most popular alt-right podcasts. If the Proud Boys “were pressed on the issue, I guarantee you that like 90% of them would tell you something along the lines of ‘Hitler was right. Gas the Jews.’”



This is the group that our Dictator Wannabe told to "stand back and stand by"

Shades of the SA!

You will find people like William Kristol, David Frum and Max Boot - all jews. They see this for the danger it is and they speak out because they know that it can happen here.

right-wing politics, certainly ever since I've been online, going back to the late 1990s.

The Republican party has simply chosen to ignore it up until now, when people like Joe Scarborough suddenly attempt to do their best "Captain Renault" impression from "Casablanca" - "I'm shocked...SHOCKED, that anti-Semitism is now a part of our party!"

I go to a gay gossip site on occasion, y'know, to catch up on the what's what, the who's who (and who they're doing) in the gay community, and even that site is rife with antisemitic bullshit! It would be one thing if that venom was just right-wing, but it is leaking into center and left circles too, usually in the form of diminishment, whataboutism, and denial, but sometimes, it is also just plain ole' Jew-hating tropes.

The fear and hostility of bigotry come from within a person, not from its unfortunate targets.

Antagonism against Jews, women, other races, religions or political factions -- when one target is revealed, you know hostility against others outside the "tribe" is either being kept hidden or currently dormant, not yet sparked into flame.

"I don't know who the Proud Boys are..." Trump today.

Unlike many of those types, that group is some what organized, and that, on of itself, is vey dangerous.

I strongly urge good people to support and join with Bend the Arc: Jewish Action. It is an extremely important force for good.
