Goyim Defense League

Goyim Defense League ( GDL ) is an American neo-Nazi and antisemitic hate group and conspiracy theory network of individuals who are active on social media websites and operate an online video platform called GoyimTV. The GDL also performs banner drops , papering neighborhoods with flyers , and other stunts to harass Jews. The GDL emerged in 2018 and is led by the antisemitic provocateur Jon Minadeo II . The GDL is currently tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. The GDL opposes Israel and celebrated the October 7 attacks in 2023. It then attended several pro-Palestinian rallies to promote its views. This is awesome man! I'm so stoked!" and "Come on guys, it's time to dance! Get those Jews !" As a video showed terrorists stomping the face of a dead Israeli Defense Force soldier, Minadeo responded, "Oh nice. Yeah, this is what you get, you terroristic Jew piece of s**t ." Minadeo also yelled, "Let's go Lebanon, Iran! Wipe Israel off the map ! This is awesome." "Hamas's American Allies: Far-Right Supporters" . As the ADL reports, the leader of the neo-Nazi Goyim Defense League , Jon Minadeo, was ecstatic about Hamas's rampage in his online broadcast. The leader of the neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe similarly wrote on Telegram, "Thoroughly enjoying the show in Israel over the past day." Natsoc Florida , another neo-Nazi group, posted a photo of a printed t-shirt that says "F**k Israel." The text accompanying the photo reads, "I've been cranking these out all day. The Israeli people deserve zero sympathy. They deserve everything that is happening to them right now. I sincerely hope that Hezbollah and the Taliban are able to make it to the fight." "White supremacists, seizing on Israel-Hamas war, have accelerated their antisemitism since Oct. 7" . As the violence in Israel and Palestine continues, the rates of antisemitism will likely remain high. Antisemitic hate groups will likely continue to attend anti-Israel demonstrations and incorporate anti-Zionist rhetoric into their broader propaganda and recruitment efforts...The number of Nation of Islam chapters will also likely remain consistent, while the organization's lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League may embolden increased antisemitic rhetoric and activity in the coming year.
