Christchurch aanslag: witte nationalistische terreur >> een uitvoerproduct van de VS

De
terreuraanslag tegen 2 moskeeën
 in Christchruch (Nieuw-Zeeland) werd
door witte nationalisten gepleegd. Volgens Paul J. Becker en Art
Jipson is het witte nationalisme dat tot deze en andere
terreuraanslagen tegen moslims heeft geleid, een product van de VS.
De terrorist die in Christchurch schoot, ziet de witte nationalisten
(fascisten) in de VS dan ook als groot voorbeeld….

Trump
stelde eerder dat het nationalisme geen grote problemen oplevert*,
echter de uitkomsten van een onderzoek door de Universiteit van
Chicago en de VN laten het tegenovergestelde zien…..

Het
geweld van witte nationalisten, wat mij betreft in veel gevallen
niets anders dan fascisme, neemt toe in het westen. Niet vreemd als
je ziet dat deze nationalisten de xenofobie die leeft bij een fiks deel van de diverse westerse bevolkingen en de bij deze groepen gekweekte anti-immigratie gevoelens voeden met haat- en angstzaaierij tegen/voor vreemdelingen, of die haat- en angstzaaierij nu tegen/voor hun geloof, huidskleur, of land van
oorsprong wordt gevoerd……

Over
fascisme gesproken: ook in de EU wordt deze ‘ideologie’ steeds groter
en het is niet ondenkbaar dat fascisten binnen afzienbare tijd (10 tot 20 jaar) zelfs
de grootste fractie in het EU parlement zullen vormen……..

Born
in the USA, White Nationalism is Now a Global Terror Threat

(CONVERSATION) — The
recent massacre of 
50
Muslim worshippers at two mosques
 in
Christchurch, New Zealand is the latest confirmation that white
supremacy is a 
danger
to democratic societies across the globe
.

Despite
President Donald Trump’s suggestion that 
white
nationalist terrorism is not a major problem
,
recent data from the 
United
Nations
University
of Chicago
 and
other sources show the 
opposite.

As
more people 
embrace
a xenophobic and anti-immigrant worldview
,
it is fueling hostility and violence toward those deemed “outsiders”
– whether because of their religion, skin color or national origin.

Transnational
violence

Most
of the Western world
 –
from Switzerland and Germany to the United
States, 
Scandinavia and New
Zealand
 –
has witnessed a 
potent
nationalist strain
 infecting
society in recent years.

Driven
by fear over the loss of white primacy, 
white
nationalists
 believe
that white identity should be the organizing principle of Western
society.

Every
people in the world can have their own country except white people,”
the 
American
Freedom Party’s William Daniel Johnson
 told
the Chicago Sun Times after the New Zealand attack. “We should have
white ethno-states.”

In
researching our upcoming book on 
extremism –
our joint area of 
academic
expertise
 –
we found that hate crimes have risen alongside the global spread of
white nationalism. Racist attacks on 
refugees,
immigrants, Muslims and Jews
 are
increasing worldwide at an alarming rate.

Scholars
studying the internationalization of hate crimes call this dangerous
phenomenon “
violent
transnationalism
.”

In
Europe, white violence appears to have been 
triggered by
the sudden increase, in 2015, of refugees fleeing war in Syria and
elsewhere in the Middle East.

Ultra-nationalists
across the continent – including 
politicians at
the 
highest
rungs of power
 –
used the influx as 
evidence of
the imminent “
cultural
genocide

of white people.

White
nationalism is a US export

This
disturbing international trend, in its modern incarnation, was born
in the United States.

Since
the 1970s, a small, vocal cadre of American white supremacists have
sought to 
export
their ideology of hate
.
Avowed racists like 
Ku
Klux Klan wizard David Duke
,
Aryan Nations founder 
Richard
Butler
 and
extremist author 
William
Pierce
 believe
the white race is 
under
attack worldwide
 by
a cultural invasion of immigrants and people of color.

The
United States is diversifying, but it remains 
77
percent white
.
White supremacists, however, have long contended that the
country’s 
demographic
changes
 will lead
to an extermination of the white race and culture
.

The
alt-right
– an umbrella term describing modern online white supremacist
movement – uses the same language. And it has expanded this
20th-century xenophobic worldview to portray refugees, Muslims and
progressives as a threat, too.

Alt-right
leaders like Richard Spencer, 
extremist
Jared Taylor
 and
the Neo-Nazi Daily Stormer editor 
Andrew
Anglin
 also use
social media
 to share
their ideology and recruit members
 across
borders.

They
have found 
a
global audience
 of
white supremacists who, in turn, have also 
used
the internet
 to
share their ideas, encourage violence and 
broadcast
their hate crimes worldwide
.

The
hatred that led to violence in Pittsburgh and Charlottesville is
finding new adherents around the world,” 
Jonathan
Greenblatt
 of
the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a civil liberties watchdog, told USA
Today after the New Zealand attack.

Indeed,
it appears that this attack was not just focused on New Zealand; it
was intended to have a global impact.”

Rising
racist violence

We
know the alleged New Zealand mosque shooter’s hatred of Muslims was
inspired by American white nationalism – he 
said
so on Twitter
.

His
online “manifesto” includes references to cultural conflicts that
the author believed would eventually lead the United States to
separate along ethnic, political and racial lines.

The
alleged attacker also wrote that 
he
supports President Donald Trump
“as
a symbol of renewed white identity.”

Trump
and other right-wing politicians like French 
presidential
candidate Marine Le Pen
 and Dutch
opposition leader Geert Wilders
 have blamed the
very real problems of modern life – growing economic instability,
rising inequality and 
industrial
decay
 –
on immigrants and people of color.

That
narrative has added further hostility into the existing undercurrent
of intolerance in increasingly multicultural societies like the
United States.

Hate
crimes against Muslims, immigrants and people of color have been 
on
the rise in the U.S. since 2014
.

In
2015, the 
Southern
Poverty Law Center documented 892 hate crimes
.
The next year, it counted 917 hate crimes. In 2017 – the year Trump
took office stoking nationalist sentiment with promises 
to
build walls, deport Mexicans and ban Muslims
 –
the U.S. saw 954 white supremacist attacks.

One
of them was a violent clash between counterprotesters and white
nationalists over the removal of a 
confederate
statue in Charlottesville
,
Virginia. The 2017 “Unite the Right” rally, which killed one
person and injured dozens, amplified the ideas of modern white
nationalists 
nationally
and worldwide
.

Last
year, white nationalists killed at least 50 people in the United
States. Their victims included 
11
worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue
two
elderly black shoppers in a Kroger parking lot
 in
Kentucky and 
two
women practicing yoga in Florida
.

The
years 2015, 2016 and 2018 were the United States’ deadliest years
for 
extremist
violence since 1970
,
according to the Anti-Defamation League.

All
perpetrators of deadly 
extremist
violence in the U.S. in 2018
 had
links to white nationalist groups. That made 2018 “a particularly
active year for right-wing extremist murders,” the Anti-Defamation
League says.

Nationalist
terror is a danger to the domestic security of the United States and,
evidence shows, a global terror threat that endangers the very nature
of global democratic society.

*
Niet zo vreemd dat Trump het nationalisme niet als een bedreiging
ziet, immers hij is zelf een nationalist en gezien veel van zijn
uitlatingen, zoals zijn haat- en angstzaaien tegen/voor vluchtelingen en de woorden van waardering die hij uitspreekt voor
figuren als Bolsonaro, de fascistische president van Brazilië, kan je
ook Trump als fascistisch aanduiden……
