Australia

On Wednesday, a court in Australia heard evidence against an unnamed 13-year-old boy from Queensland who allegedly planned an antisemitic terrorist attack. During the hearing, police prosecutor Nick Jones read from the teen’s manifesto with J-Wire reported included “repeated threats against children, violent language towards police, racist abuse directed at Black and Jewish people, and claims that the writer lacked empathy.”

In Melbourne, police charged a 20-year-old suspect for setting a fire which investigators say was directed by the Islmic regime in Iran. Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Peter Crozier said that “they may not actually be aware of the people who are directing or the principals of these investigations. That remains a key line of inquiry for us.”

Canada

At two Canadian high schools this spring, two students managed to sneak Holocaust denial quotes into the school yearbooks, with the books being published before the schools noticed and took action. A similar incident also occurred this year at the United Nations International School in New York, however students there managed to sneak swastikas into the yearbook.

Israel

A new academic paper titled “From Myth to Model: Representation of ‘The Jew’ in Generative AI’” by Israeli researchers Michael Gilead and Gal Gutman reveals that tested models routinely grouped Jewish names into “high-competence, low warmth” categories and that Jewish-coded biographies were marked down on friendliness and perceived warmth.

United States Antisemitism News

According to a report from Ohio’s WCMH news station, Tycen Proper, one of the alleged conspirators behind a planned drone attack against the White House during Sunday’s UFC fight, had just graduated from the Knox County Career Center’s Landscape Design and Management program, thus receiving a job which he quit recently after graduating, allegedly to meet his friends for the strike. The neo-Nazi Accelerationist group behind the alleged plot called themselves “The Vanguard of the Old Republic.”

On Thursday, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue released a report about the May 2026 attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego, describing the role of Accelerationist ideology in motivating the alleged terrorists. The introduction is very enlightening and worth reprinting in full:

On May 18, two teenagers attacked the Islamic Center of San Diego, killing three people before both attackers died in an apparent murder-suicide. The attack featured several familiar hallmarks of accelerationist violence, most clearly in the perpetrators’ own writings. In their manifestos, they explicitly positioned the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooter as the central inspiration for their attack and repeatedly referenced the concept of ‘saints culture’, a lineage of white supremacist mass killers to be emulated. The targeting of a mosque was therefore not incidental. Invoking a conspiratorial theory known as the ‘Great Replacement’, both attackers situated Muslims within a broader white supremacist worldview that depicts various minorities as invaders who pose an existential threat to the white race. Taken together, the manifestos, target selection and repeated references to saints culture indicate that white supremacy served as the primary framework through which the attackers rationalized their violence.
At the same time, analysis focusing exclusively on the attack’s similarities to previous iterations of neo-Nazi accelerationism—as embodied by networks such as Iron March, Atomwaffen Division and the Terrorgram Collective—is insufficient to make sense of this horrific event. Notably, in addition to their consumption of such content, the perpetrators’ broader online footprints suggest engagement with nihilistic violent subcultures (in particular, the True Crime Community), incel spaces, intense attachments to fictional characters and online fandoms, and more aesthetic-driven online ecosystems like TikTok, where violent or transgressive audiovisual content can circulate rapidly outside traditional accelerationist spheres. While these influences did not supersede extremist ideology, they appeared to have shaped the pathways through which these attackers eventually mobilized to violence.
The fact that the San Diego shooting involved two individuals further complicates efforts to identify a single radicalization pathway. Each attacker arrived at violence through a distinct combination of ideology, grievance, online community and aesthetic fixation. Their shared action should not obscure the differences between them. However, taken together, their behavior points toward a wider pattern in which neo-Nazi accelerationism is increasingly blending with online environments characterized by nihilism, misanthropy, violent misogyny, school shooter fandoms and transgressive aesthetics.

The New York Times reported on Thursday, that teenagers have begun using the term “goyslop” with many unaware of its antisemitic origins:

Last week I interviewed a teenager about his use of the word “goyslop.” That’s a term for cruddy, low-quality food — as coined, or at least popularized, by far-right antisemites. This teenager was absolutely not a far-right antisemite; he just happened to attend a New Jersey high school where students, Jewish and Christian and otherwise, said “goyslop” all the time. “If your friend goes and gets McDonald’s, and gets two burgers and a shake,” he explained, “like, ‘Oh, my god, that’s so goyslop, that’s goy.’”

The Woke Reich Neo-Fascist Daiily Watchlist:

1. Elon Musk

On Thursday, influential AI research Yann LeCun, founder of the new AMI (Advanced Machine Intelligence) Labs after leaving Meta last year, proclaimed that trillionaire Elon Musk’s xAI startup was “kind of a failure, frankly, because the founding team has departed.”

LeCun explained the corner Musk had painted himself into, telling CNBC that “Elon is now in a position that is very, very difficult for him to kind of hire top people in AI, because he’s kind of, you know, not behaved in sort of very good ways toward the ... previous team.”

According to LeCun, xAI overspent on data centers, leaving them now in a position of having to rent out their capacity to their competitors to offset their massive losses which reached $2.5 billion last quarter. President Donald Trump’s Justice Department has intervened on Musk’s behalf to try to stop a lawsuit which charges that gas turbines to power the Colossus 2 data center violate the Clean Air Act.

On Monday, Musk condemned the United Kingdom’s announcement of plans to block social media access for those under 16. He advanced another conspiracy theory on his X social media platform, charging that “this censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.”

2. Tucker Carlson

PressTV, the propaganda organ of the Islamic regime in Iran, saw fit to spotlight far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson’s Wednesday night X commentary with the headline “Iran deal officially ends US empire, exposes limits of American power: Tucker Carlson.”

The article quotes Carlson saying “with this, the United States has officially acknowledged that Iran is a player. And that changes everything, in the same way that the 1956 Suez crisis, another crisis, another war over a narrow waterway, through which commerce flows, ended the British Empire.”

The Mullahs’ media operatives also chose to quote Carlson’s statement that “Now, of course, you argue the British Empire really kind of ended with the armistice in 1918, at the end of the First World War, you could definitely argue that it was done by 1945 when they ‘won World War II.’ But like a lot of fading empires, it wasn’t obvious to the rest of us, so there was muscle memory involved. And Britain had ruled the world. And so it was fading, but not dead.”

3. Candace Owens

Why does far-right podcaster Candace Owens keep a pinned picture of Moscow at the top of her X account?

4. Nick Fuentes

On Thursday, Israel National News reported on prominent Gen-Z neo-Nazi podaster Nick Fuentes’ antisemitic rhetoric following the announcement of the Memorandum of Understanding to end the U.S.-Iran war.

“You fought hard, you left it all on the field, and you won,” Fuentes said on his America First podcast, praising the Islamic regime in Iran. “G-d bless the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran won, Israel lost; so delicious!”

Fuentes would further heap praise on the genocidal antisemites in Iran, writing on X that “Jews are losers, Israel is losers, Zionists are losers. You lose, Iran won. Thank you, Supreme Leader. On behalf of all Goyim of the world, on behalf of all Gentiles, Americans, Christians, thank you, Supreme Leader and Iran, you did it. I love to see it.”

Left-wing advocacy group Media Matters highlighted one of Fuentes statements from his Monday episode, in which the neo-Nazi podcaster asked “are we fascists or are we not? I’m sorry. Is this like some big left-wing f----- meetup where we talk about the size and scope of government? Are we fascists or are we not? Is this a new Rome and a new empire or what are we doing?”

5. Kanye West

Neo-Nazi rap artist Kanye West will need to find another venue in Prague to continue his European tour as Zuzana Rambová, arena director for Chuchle Arena Prague, told a Czech news outlet that “we terminated the organizer's contract."

7. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared Tuesday on the podcast of tech entrepreneur Mario Nawfal. She recounted a story she has told previously, that after receiving death threats against her family following Trump dubbing her a “traitor,” the president “specifically said, 'It's your fault, and you deserve it.' So Donald Trump said it was my fault and I deserved for my son to be murdered."

Greene says she still has the texts proving what Trump allegedly said to her.

8. JD Vance

As noted in yesterday’s Daily Report, the moves in MAGA world appear to be toward trying to make Vice President JD Vance the scapegoat for the incoming blowback from the Iran “peace deal.” The Los Angeles Times’ Thursday political newsletter proclaimed: “Rubio lets Vance take the fall as Iran deal questions mount.”

This directive appears to be coming from Trump, who told a reporter in France that “If it works out, I’m going to take the credit. If it doesn’t work out, I’m blaming JD.”

Ben Shapiro, the Daily Wire co-creator and admiral of the media company’s fleet of podcasts, took Trump’s direction, calling the deal “a disaster that does not achieve any of the actual signal goals that were set by the administration at the beginning” before proclaiming “the vice president of the United States, the chief negotiator on this particular project, has not well served the president.” [Disclosure: I have previously written articles and scripts for The Daily Wire.]

9. Steve Bannon

On Thursday, Media Matters spotlighted a clip from far-right organizer Steve Bannon speaking at a “Fraud-Fighter Summit” where the War Room podcaster again reiterated his call for ICE to intimiated voters at polling places in an effort to sway the midterm elections in favor of Republicans.

“Listen. We need to be at every precinct. If you’re armed or not, that depends upon what your state laws are,” Bannon said. “But I will tell you, ICE has to be there and has to be there to back you up, or we’re going to have a situation exactly what happened in LA where they sat there and stole the election from Spencer Pratt, who I believe finished first, but no worse than a close second, and should be on the ballot in November.”

In a clip posted at Bannon’s War Room X account on Thursday, he said “I don't understand why we're giving money to people who don't deserve money. They're all scumbags. The Saudis are scumbags. UAE is the least of the scumbags, but they're still scumbags, and the Qatar's the worst of the scumbags. They're financing the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR down in Texas.”
