(Jewish Group) New list of white supremacist memes, symbols, slogans added to ADL guide
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)The Dylann Roof Bowl Cut, the Moon Man and the Happy Merchant are among a group of new symbols, memes and slogans included in the Anti-Defamation League’s “Hate on Display” online database. The group expanded its listings to include white supremacist symbols that in recent years have been adopted by the alt-Right segment of the white supremacist movement and other hate groups.
The database, which provides explanations for the symbols most frequently used by these groups, was started in 2000 to track hate groups and help both law enforcement and the public recognize symbols belonging to extremists or antisemites.
"We believe law enforcement and the public needs to be fully informed about the meaning of these images, which can serve as a first warning sign to the presence of haters in a community or school,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in advance of the release.
Many of the new symbols are being used heavily on social media, including on 4chan, 8chan and Reddit, in addition to on Facebook and Twitter.

Of course, while not a symbol or meme, it is certainly a slogan of sorts, "Jew them down" has made a come back, and it is causing all kinds of tsuris.
