Domestic Terrorism Threat Monitor – Account Review (DTTM-AR): On Parler, Neo-Nazi Suggests Creating Guerilla Warfare Movement To Kill Immigrants; Encourages Others To Target Jewish Women And Locate Local Synagogues

The following information is based on a general overview of a social media account demonstrating domestic terror-related activity / sympathies.

Platform: Parler

Additional Information: As microblogging platform Parler makes headlines and is gaining popularity, MEMRI DTTM has observed an increase in neo-Nazis and white supremacists using the platform for expressions including calls for violence. The following is an example of the instances of such expression that MEMRI researchers see daily.[1]

The user openly advocates for killing Jews and immigrants on his account and posted an image of Brenton Tarrant, who killed 51 and wounded 40 in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in March 2019. Calling for establishing a guerilla warfare movement to kill immigrants, the user said that a group of white men could carry out a major attack without being suspected and asked interested individuals to message him regarding this endeavor. In another post, he said that Jewish women should be targeted since descent is matrilineal in Judaism. In a post from last month the individual expressed rage about the closure of his gym due to COVID-19 and said that he wishes to retaliate by killing politicians and their children.
