Announcing February 25 "National Day Of Hate": "The One True Enemy Of The American People Is The Jew"
On February 1, 2023, the Telegram channel of an Iowa-based neo-Nazi group posted a message announcing the National Day of Hate along with a promotional video. The channel wrote "Join [...] in a day of MASS ANTI-SEMITIC ACTION. We are calling on all fighters of truth and justice to take a stand, and expose the international clique of parasitic vermin that infest our nation today. A national day of activism is set for February 25th."
The message went on, "Make your voices heard loud and clear, that the one true enemy of the American people is the Jew. We refuse to capitulate to the wishes of the anti-white establishment, that our race be subverted and controlled by the devil's chosen few. The people demand White Power."
Making an explicit call to action, the channel wrote: "Shock the masses with banner drops, stickers, fliers, and graffiti. Inaction is unacceptable. The time to stand up for your people is today. Take pictures, and videos of your activism [...] Groups that are interested in participating, please reach out to get featured in this post. Hail Victory!"
Four groups were tagged at the bottom of the post, suggesting their involvement in the plan.
A user tagged in the post, who appears to be coordinating the event, claims to be the leader of one of the major groups involved.
Accompanying the message was a one minute and eleven second video showcasing the event. The video began with footage showing a Nazi villain from the "Wolfenstein" video-game series, overlaid with the names of the groups involved. The video then went on to show footage of the named groups participating in mass activism, including banner drops and public demonstrations.
