Jewish communities in Austin and San Antonio targeted by neo-Nazi group
Police in Austin and San Antonio are investigating acts of antisemitism after members of a neo-Nazi group traveled through both cities in recent days.
The Anti-Defamation League describes the group as a “loose network of individuals connected by their virulent antisemitism. The group includes six primary organizers/public figures and thousands of online followers.”
Around 10 members came to Austin from Florida this past weekend, hanging an antisemitic banner on a MoPac overpass near the Shalom Austin Jewish Community Center on Saturday and then walking around the heavily trafficked 6th Street.
“They were all wearing t-shirts with big swastikas and hats with the same,” said Renee Lafair, regional director with ADL Austin.

And Hagee..you know the blood moon far right guy?? The protest groups were: Jewish Voice for Peace, Palestinian Youth Movement and Palestine Solidarity Committee. I guess when the Neo-Nazis saw that their beloved Hagee was hosting Pompeo at their beloved hate church, they scrammed and went into neighborhoods or maybe they were protesting the protesters??
'Hagee preaches hate': Annual Cornerstone Church event again met with protesters
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was the keynote speaker at the 41st annual "Night to Honor Israel" event at Cornerstone Church in the Stone Oak area on Sunday night.
The event, which raises money for Israeli and Jewish charities, drew 6,000 people inside the church and — as usual — a few dozen protesters outside.
During his speech, Pompeo called for the end of anti-Semitism. .....snip.......
Outside of the church, there were two sets of protests. One was calling for the end of U.S. funds that are sent to Israel and then used for its military. The other was promoting anti-Semitic rhetoric. The two protests were not related.

The Neo-Nazis went to Alon Center (shopping center) in San Antonio's Jewish Community, which is certainly not the Neo-Nazi's beloved Cornerstone.
