Lawmaker Warns About 'Alarming' Neo-Nazi Rally at State Capitol

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
A group of Neo-Nazis holding flags with swastikas on them marched on the Wisconsin State Capitol grounds in Madison on Saturday afternoon, with one lawmaker saying their presence was "alarming."

The neo-Nazi rally comes at a time of great division in America over the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Pro-Palestinian groups are calling for a ceasefire amid the fighting in Gaza after Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, launched its deadliest attack on Israel on October 7. In response, Israel launched its heaviest-ever airstrikes on Gaza, with pro-Israel groups supporting the country's right to self-defense.


The group on Saturday wore red shirts that said "Blood Tribe" on the back and performed the Nazi salute, or Hitler salute, which was a gesture used by the Nazi Party in the 20th century as a signal of obedience to their leader, Adolf Hitler.

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Blood Tribe is described as "a neo-Nazi group with semi-autonomous chapters in the United States and Canada. Blood Tribe promotes hardline white supremacist views and openly directs its vitriol at Jews, 'non-whites' and the LGBTQ+ community."

As the group marched in Madison, they chanted, "Israel is not our friend," "We are everywhere," and "There will be blood," according to witnesses.

State Representative Lisa Subeck, a Jewish Democrat from Madison, said the presence of a neo-Nazi group at the Capitol is "alarming."

"Especially right now where we've seen a rise in antisemitic activity," she told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I think it's something that we should all be concerned about."


X account Republicans against Trump also posted clips from the rally and wrote: "This is where we're at in 2023. The rise of anti-Semitism in our country is horrifying."
