Dear John,

When antisemitism and hate are about to strike, there is no time to wait to fight back. That’s why when the FBI needed information on a new neo-Nazi group called the Iron Youth — including one armed member who describes himself as a “radical Jew slayer” — they turned to ADL.

Make your year-end gift $50, $75, $100 or more to ADL right now, when your donation will double to go twice as far to support this type of urgent, time-sensitive work.

With your support, our Center on Extremism provided federal law enforcement officials with significant intelligence information that was used throughout their investigation of the Iron Youth group.

The operation led to the arrest of two individuals, both of whom possessed weapons and held deeply antisemitic views.

Thanks to your support, Christian Michael Mackey, the self-described “Jew slayer,” was arrested after reportedly attempting to illegally acquire a firearm as a felon and hardened white supremacist. Caleb Nathaniel Oliver was apprehended after he allegedly purchased a fully automatic machine gun.

Both men embraced accelerationism, which one Center on Extremism investigator calls “white supremacy on steroids.” She explains, “This is a movement with a proven track record of violence and criminality.”

Their antisemitic views include the belief that society is corrupt and controlled by Jews and it is the extremists’ job to arm themselves and expedite our societal collapse.

Deadly attacks in recent years in cities across the country have shown us that we must take white supremacists at their word. We cannot wait. We must stop them, in real time, before tragedy strikes.

With your help, we are. Thanks to you, ADL’s Center on Extremism is preventing violence every day.

So, please, rush your gift, which doubles now, to help us continue this urgent work.

Stopping Hate Before It Turns to Violence.
