We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Since the mob attack on the Capitol orchestrated by white supremacists, fomented by the white nationalist president, with five people dead, and threats of more violence, we have seen the latest manifestation of vigilantism and are closer to being a failed state than at any time since the Civil War.
Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington has accurately characterized what occurred on Jan. 6 as a Confederate attack. Pictures taken inside the Capitol of Confederate flags and people in “Camp Auschwitz” and “6MWE” (six million weren’t enough) shirts celebrating the Holocaust corroborate her assessment.
Systemic white supremacy is more pervasive, brutal, and efficient than most Americans — except those targeted by it — care to admit. The proposed government commission to investigate the Capitol attack could provide an opportunity to educate the nation about the complex nature of systemic white supremacy and the devastating impact that it has on every aspect of American life.
It is good that white people have noticed that peaceful Black Lives Matter protestors are treated more harshly than white insurrectionists. It is good that law enforcement agencies are finally prioritizing the surveillance and prosecution of organized domestic terrorists. But there is far more work to do to protect against white supremacy than demobilizing organized hate groups.
