A Pan-Nordic neo-Nazi organization, which often uses anti-Zionist and antisemitic speech, is exploiting the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict as fuel to further its Nordic supremacy ideology by supporting the Palestinian-Arab cause. The group, has multiple branches, or "Nests," dispersed throughout Scandinavia. It professes National Socialism and calls for the establishment of a national socialist state to replace the existing democratic order in Scandinavia. Following the principle, "Amicus meus, inimicus inimici mei" ("My friend, the enemy of my enemy"), the group publicly denounces the Zionist state at every opportunity. Its gatherings involve regular torching of the Israeli flag, accompanied by antisemitic speeches at vigils, dissemination of propaganda, discussions of the illegitimacy of the Jewish state, Israeli boycott campaigns, and questioning the legitimacy of the very existence of Jews.
In its primary struggle to preserve the racial survival, freedom, and supremacy of the Nordic race, it actively supports a strict closed-border policy to halt the influx of immigrants into Europe, with a special focus on those trying to settle in the Nordic region. The group did not participate in pro-Palestinian mass protests following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. Instead, it organized separate anti-Zionist and antisemitic vigils in Stockholm and beyond. At times, their gatherings were held near rallies held in solidarity with Israel. On October 7, it published an official statement on its webpage, professing wholehearted support for the "Palestinian offensive" by the "resistance movement," Hamas. Furthermore, the movement stated, the attack was a legitimate retaliation for Israel's alleged systematic assaults on the Palestinian people.
The group's practice of allying with an adversary to fight against a shared enemy is described in the second pillar of its 2018 manifesto, "Our Path." The document is dedicated to the war against Zionism and the "global Zionist elite." This approach differs from many other neo-Nazi entities across Europe, whose de facto consensus is that "imported conflicts" carried out on European streets are abhorrent and must be denounced. According to this group, the current events in the Middle East, as well as the enraged reaction to it by the far-right, demonstrate how the Palestinian resistance" serves as a proxy for their own struggle against the Zionists, the "global elite, " and its pursuit of the eradication of the Zionist state. The "global elite," according to the NRM, is alleged to coordinate mass migration with the primary goal of annihilating the white race and fully assuming global hegemony. Thus, the movement feels it is compelled to wage a racial war to safeguard the white race from being exterminated by the Zionists--essentially by global Jewry.
Despite their vocal support for the Palestinian struggle, which the group voices on the streets throughout the Nordic region, they insist that neither the Jewish people nor Arabs, including Palestinians, have a legitimate right to live in Scandinavia, since they are not of ethnic northern European descent. Confusion arises in neo-Nazi circles around the NRM's sympathy for Palestinian Arabs. There is speculation as to whether the NRM has liberalized its anti-migration, anti-Islamic, and overall xenophobic position. Still, the NRM's assertion that "a united ethnic Nordic Nation is a prerequisite for the racial and cultural survival of the Nordic people" prevails, as outlined in the preface of the 2015 movement's manifesto, "Our Path – New Politics For A New Time."

Willingness To Cooperate With Diverse Forces To Fight Zionists
The group firmly asserts that the Zionist threat must be tackled holistically, as it is not confined solely to Scandinavia. Thus, it is willing to cooperate with diverse groups and movements which could be useful in the pursuit of eradicating the "global Zionist world order." The movement emphasizes that support for Palestinians is extended not to those living in Nordic territories, but rather to those who are currently claiming to live under "Zionist occupation," stating, "We are […] not on the same side as Palestinians who are in Sweden and murdering Swedes, but we stand behind Palestinians who are in Palestine and are actively fighting against Israel and the Zionists."
Demanding A Boycott Of Israel, And Launching Campaigns Calling For Sanctions Against Products From, Or Companies Affiliated With, Israel
A Swedish-based news platform which is closely affiliated with the group published an article on November 22, titled: "The Downfall of Israel: Four Points Explaining How This Can Benefit The West." The piece lists four recommendations for action, highlighting how the annihilation of Israel could help Western countries.
The article was based on one written by prominent American white supremacists who advocate "white civil rights." The proposed four action points are: "Increase the West's Prestige"; " Reduce Foreign Aid and 'America First' Geopolitical Realism"; "End Middle Eastern Mass Migration To Europe"; and "Weaken International Jewish Power."

Movement activists claim to have traveled to 97 stores in 32 Swedish municipalities, as well as to Denmark, to disseminate the QR code sticker on certain Israeli-linked products that are listed in a published article of November 6 titled: "Boycott Israel – Avoid these companies and brands." The article also contains a printable flyer.
