The Guardian: Far-right breaks with Trump on Israel as it ramps up antisemitic attacks
“In the context of the far right, antisemitism is the driving force,” said Wendy Via, co-founder of GPAHE and an expert on far-right extremism. “But they are absolutely willing to set that aside for their own interest, right? They’re either willing to amp it up or set it aside for their own interest.”
GPAHE’s take: The Guardian examines how the far right strategically leverages antisemitism to advance its political objectives. Wendy Via, co-founder of GPAHE, explains that antisemitism remains a central element of far-right ideology, but extremists are quick to downplay or intensify it depending on their immediate interests. This opportunism extends to political candidates, whom they readily discard when it no longer aligns with their goals. The article provides an in-depth look at the fluid tactics used by far-right extremists to navigate and manipulate the political landscape.

WIRED: DHS Warns Law Enforcement Election Deniers May Attempt to Bomb Drop Boxes
“Election denialism is going to be the primary motivator—if there is going to be violence.”said Wendy Via, co-founder of GPAHE.
GPAHE’s take: A recent WIRED article sheds light on the escalating threats facing election workers as extremist groups push election denialism. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is struggling to combat the spread of disinformation ahead of the 2024 election, amid efforts to protect the integrity of the electoral process. Via warns that false narratives are “weaponizing distrust in democracy,” creating an increasingly dangerous environment for officials and workers tasked with safeguarding elections.
