‘Goyim Defense League’ Day of Hate Fizzles — and Who Are These Guys, Anyway?Robert Spencer
On Friday, the Secure Community Network (SCN), which describes itself as “the official safety and security organization of the Jewish community in North America,” sent Jewish communities around the country notice that a group called the Goyim Defense League (GDL) had proclaimed the following day a “Day of Hate.” The SCN noted that although there had been “no specific or direct threat or even a threat at all,” it would be prudent to be on guardif the neo-Nazis came around. As of this writing, on Saturday afternoon, they haven’t; the Day of Hate turned out to be a quiet weekend day. “Goyim Defense League” itself. Who are these guys, anyway?
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) states in a fact sheet that was originally published in May 2022 that the group “is a loose network of individuals connected by their virulent antisemitism. The group includes five or six primary organizers/public figures, dozens of supporters and thousands of online followers. The far-Left ADL lets its narcissism get in the way of its analysis, as it claims that “GDL parodies the Anti-Defamation League’s name and logo by replacing ‘Anti-Defamation’ with ‘Goyim Defense’ — ‘Goyim’ being a disparaging Yiddish and Hebrew word for non-Jews.” It’s obvious, however, that the name “Goyim Defense League” is not a parody of “Anti-Defamation League,” but of “Jewish Defense League,” a group that the FBI has stated, under heavy political pressure, was a “right-wing terrorist group.” Why would the GDL pattern its name after a group that some claim is a terrorist group?
The GDL, says the Anti-Defamation League, “operates GoyimTV, a video platform that streams antisemitic content.” GoyimTV is full of openly and luridly National Socialist (that’s what “Nazi” means, kids) material, with videos turned out in massive quantities praising Hitler and his associates, and slyly associating contemporary mainstream conservatism with National Socialism. One video is entitled “Zionist Jews Are at the Forefront of Advancing Gun Control in the United States.” Another is “Covid vaccines: 38X stillbirths, 57X miscarriages, 1200X menstrual abnormalities says James Thorp MD.” A third apes America-First concerns by asking, “Are We For East Palestine Or Ukraine? Senator Hawley Discusses With Tucker Carlson.”
Almost all of the GDL’s videos, however, whichit produces on an industrial scale (how?), have just a handful of views.
The group only shot to national prominence on Thursday, when videobegan circulating of a handful of GDL members harassing Jews in South Florida. One of them, armed with a bullhorn, is seen hurling vile insults at Jews in their cars while they’re stopped for red lights. The bullhorn guy’s comrades are seen fleetingly.
All of the other GDL members in the videoappear to be young men in generally good shape. They are reminiscent of the members of the Patriot Front, a “right-wing extremist” group that many have derided as being obvious feds pretending to be white supremacists.
Kyle Becker needled the FBI:== “The Feds are putting on off-Broadway musicals now. Coming to a town near you: ‘The Patriot Front!'” Michael Knowles added, “It’s literally called a ‘front.’ A little on the nose, Quantico!”
The GDL may be completely real,but like the Patriot Front, it’s a little too “on the nose,” as Knowles said. They called for a “Day of Hate,” in perfect alignment with the ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center labeling legitimate conservative groups as “hate groups,” and in tone-deaf unawareness of the fact that people who actually are in such groups don’t really think they’re hating at all. The GDL is made up of gleeful and open Nazis who all happen to look like feds: nary a fat or elderly man among them. They espouse positions that just happen to coincide with mainstream conservative positions that the Biden regime and its FBI hate and wish to stamp out. What a coincidence!
The media attention they’ve received is also in line with their not being legit. The “Day of Hate” resulted in far more Leftists accusing Trump and DeSantis and all other conservatives with approving of it than it did in actual incidents of hate. It also deflects attention once again from the genuine antisemitism that is becoming increasingly mainstream on the Left. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez don’t proclaim “Days of Hate”; they just make antisemitism mainstream from the halls of Congress. Real antisemitism is coming from the BDS movement and Leftist professors on campuses all over the country.
But now we have the Goyim Defense League, so we can forget about all the hatred of Jews coming from the Left. Was that the idea all along?
