Israeli Jewish extremists used instant messaging services to organize armed militias to attack Palestinian citizens of Israel. Voice messages, texts and other communications indicate they coordinated attacks in cities where Palestinians live in close proximity to Jews – including Haifa, Bat Yam and Tiberias in the north, and Ramla and Lydd – Lod in Hebrew – in the center, to Beersheba in southern Israel. In many cases, extremist organizers said they relied on either the active or passive support of Israeli authorities.

Excerpt:

In screenshots from the groups posted by Fake Reporter, members talked about types of weapons and made plans for where to meet up in order to attack Palestinians and burn mosques. They engaged in virulent racism and incitement against Palestinians.

The messages were released in the context of recent attacks by extremist Jewish Israelis on Palestinians, their homes and businesses as Israel escalated its attacks on the occupied West Bank and Gaza over the last week.

"We are no longer Jews today," one user wrote in a Telegram group titled "People from Holon, Bat Yam and Rishon Lezion go out to bring war."

"Today we are Nazis."
