Topic: Neo Nazism

The term Neo- Nazism is used to describe the post-World War II social or political movements seeking to revive Nazism. It also refers to highlight the ideology of the movement.German neo-Nazis have attacked accommodations for refugess and migrant workers in Hoyerswerda in 1991. Rostock-Lichtenhagen in 1992. As well as they were involved in other terrorist activities post the early 90s. Beginning of the 2000s, Neo-Nazis started their demostration ativities on the anniversary of the Bombing of Dresden in World War II. Nowdays the right-wing extremists are increasing their activity on online social networks to reach young people. They are using such sites as Facebook and similar German websites to search for new recruits. The main danger is that many young people are not able to recognise propaganda and attempts at indocrination from these groups.

The artcle states that on 14th of February more than 10,000 protestors blocked a major neo-Nazi march in the former East German city of Dresden, froming a human chain surrounding in the center of the city.About 6,500 far-right extremists from across Europe had taken Saturday in Germany to recall the 65th anniversary of the Allied bombing of Dresden during World War II, which killed 25,000 civilians. The right-wing extrimists were forced into giving up the march. The protestors aimed to prevent the Neo-Nazis from future marches. The Far-rightist have undelined that the Dresden bombing and pushed for recognition of German suffering during World War II.Some organizations including all the mainstream political parties rallied against the neo-Nazi march. They also reminded the Neo`s that Germany had started World War II, that ended a disaster for most of Europe.

In May 2010 the Security Arizaona's Secretary Janet Napolutano referred to the states's harsh new immigration law as shameful. A neo-Nazi group is attempting help Arizona cut down on illegal immigration, by inviting people to "Report an illegal". The Nationa Socialist Movement is considered by many to be a neo-Nazi hate group were spreading out fliers to coincide with Cinco de Mayo.The article states that Phoenix police are studying the flyer. The article goes further into explaining the legal work, which seems unclear.

Article 3
UK
Neo-Nazi Ian Davison jailed for 10 years for making chemical weapon
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/may/14/neo-nazi-ian-davison-jailed-chemical-weapon

The artcle infroms that Ian Davison,42 and his 19 year old son Nicky were called guilty of plotting to use ricin in a terrorist attack.Ian Davison was known for idolising Adolf Hitler. He flew swastika flags on secret training days in Cumbria. He was punished for recruiting his teenage son Nicky, by a detention for keeping material useful to commit acts of terror. The sentence at Newcastle crown court recoxgnized the fact that the anti group recruited about 350 people worldwide online. They will also face trial some time soon. The police were seriously concerned with their intentions and the threat they posed. Ian Davison was also condemened for spreading such books for bobmbmaking advice, on Amazon. Mr. Davison was named guilty of producing a chemical weapon,preparing acts of terrorism and possessing a prohibited weapon. The prosecutor said that Ian Davison had made anough ricin to kill nine peopl. The weapon was seized by the police last June. Ian Davison explained his attempts as " "The purpose ... was the creation of an international Aryan group who would establish white supremacy in white countries." In addition he had talked about poisoning Muslims water supplies with an avowed Nazi in Serbia etc. Even though the hatered was mostly aimed at Muslisms and ethnic minorities, the group often attacked "Zionist governments". However, Toby Hedworth QC in contrast said that the psycholigical report showed that Ian was a " pathetic character who tried to impress others by talking big.A very small amount (of ricin) was eventually produced and nothing was done with it." He also said that the father had corrupted his young son, who was previously of a good character.Eventually they were both sent down for transfer to jail and youth detention center.

Analysis/Reflection

All the three articles show that Neo-Nazism is still a relevant issue around the world. Going backwards historically, there are those individuals who still idiolize Adolf Hitler, regardless of the events in WWII.They still have a rigid view of a perfect society, with a pure race of people. The first artcle taken from a Jewish organization, describes the 14th of February Neo-Nazi march in Dresden. The march marks the unsuccesfulness of such group in carrying out those sensless marches and celebrating the wrong dates. The second artcile shows that the Neo-Nazi movements are still present in the USA, but have slightly different aims.The article does not reveal more about the Nazi groups, but gives too many Juridical details on the law that was passed on illegal immigrants. The third article talks about Neo-Nazi attempts in the UK. The two Neo-Nazis which have been discovered have been spreading nazist material and drafting terrorist attacks. All three articles show that the Neo-Nazi movement has a descent membership in some countries more than others. Although such extreme opposition proves to be unsuccesful and pointless, as most of the members fail to realize that the times have changed. Such Nazistic ideology can no longer be applied to modern society and if it will be, than these groups have all the chances to be severly punished for any dangerous terrorist activities.
