How a group of young people on the internet radicalizes in a few months In May 2020 forms a group of young men on Instagram and Telegram called "The National Storm Association". Several dozen men have been involved here for a shorter or longer period of time. The group is now called "National Socialist Dutch Movement", one participant stands in front of the… Read more
The scale of the protests against the corona measures has decreased, ‘but at the same time there is a risk that some in that movement will radicalize further’, says security service NCTV today.
The far right has developed a complicated code language in recent decades, that is constantly evolving. It means that extreme right-wing language is sometimes difficult to understand or is not even detected. Zembla deciphered the codes. We list the most important terms in The extreme right dictionary.
Intelligence experts warn the Dutch government about the growing danger of right-wing extremism. In closed chat groups, young boys share increasingly harsh Nazi propaganda. They glorify terror attacks such as the one on Christchurch mosques that left dozens dead. Extremists are looking for 'school shooters', frustrated teenagers imbued with hatred of jews, Muslims and Sexual Minorities. They share information about weapons and about potential targets. In some countries, such groups are already on terror lists. Not in the Netherlands. Does the government have sufficient insight into this new threat?
Zembla dives into the network of hate, the dark online world where today's Nazis dream of a race war.
Namen Fabio I. and Steven V. participate in an international, right-wing extremist terrorist organization seeking to establish a white ethno-state through "a race war"? Or were the messages she posted in telegram groups at home from the couch mainly "talking a lot, little action ". They both regret it very much anyway.
Two young men have to go to court today, because they are associated with The Base, a right-wing extremist terrorist organization. Their Siege culture calls for a race war.
Extreme right – Two members of the far-right movement The Base come to court. They called for violence against non-white people.
The police have a young man in Amsterdam on Tuesday 19 for years suspected of right-wing extremist incitement and crimes with a terrorist purpose. Also in Zwijndrecht (South Holland) a 19-year-old man has been arrested.

Quran destruction puts the Netherlands on the radar of jihadist organizations
Global jihadist organizations have long regarded the Netherlands as a legitimate target for an attack. As a result of recent Koran destruction in our country (see box Destruction of the Koran in the Netherlands and Sweden) however, the Netherlands has come into the picture even more emphatically. Several pro-ISIS outlets have used social media to call for retaliation against Western countries, including explicitly Sweden and to a lesser extent the Netherlands. At the end of January, a media organization associated with ISKP, the Afghan branch of ISIS, threats uttered against 'infidels' in response to the Koran destruction. The Netherlands was specifically mentioned as a target. In a late February 2023 published video production, the leader of the anti-Islam movement Pegida comes into the picture. A poster was also published in the English-language magazine of ISKP containing the Dutch and Swedish flag and the call to carry out attacks on shops, among other things., police officers and music concerts.
It turned out to be no empty threats. At the beginning of February, twenty people associated with ISKP were arrested in Istanbul for planning attacks on diplomatic posts of Western countries, including the Dutch and Swedish consulate in Istanbul, and on churches and synagogues. Turkish media reported that Turkish intelligence feared that ISKP had ordered its supporters in Turkey to carry out the attacks in retaliation for Quran destruction in Sweden and the Netherlands. Nine Western countries, including the Netherlands, Sweden and the United States, had closed their consulates in Istanbul for some time the week before due to the tensions and increased threat.
Sweden locked up 11 April also removed his embassy in the Pakistani capital Islamabad for security reasons. In Sweden itself, op 4 april 2023 five men arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack. According to the Swedish security service, the potential attackers have ties to international ISIS networks through groups on Facebook. These groups contained ISIS fighters and collected money for the terrorist organization. Since the Koran burning in January, there are said to be several concrete threats of attack in Sweden. Fearing new terrorist attacks, the Swedish police increased the security of symbolically important objects, among other things. In Sweden, the threat level will remain unchanged for the time being 3 (on a scale of 5).
Jihadist organizations more often explicitly quote countries in their terrorist propaganda. Scientific research shows that this does not always lead to an increase in the number of attacks in those countries. However, the threat of attacks in Istanbul and Sweden, as well as the attacks on the editorial office of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, show that jihadist organizations can be guided by incidents in the West when choosing a target., which they regard as blasphemy.
Terrorist groups also use perceived blasphemy to reinforce their terrorist message and justify the use of violence. In this way they try to inspire radicalized individuals in Europe to commit an attack without having to make active preparations themselves.. Perpetrators of attacks in response to perceived blasphemy are in most cases not affiliated with terrorist groups, but usually claim to act out of personal conviction. Past attacks show that Muslims are of different religious orientation (sunni, Shiite, salafist, Sufi) may be susceptible to calls for retaliation, even if those were done years ago. So stuck in August 2022 a man the British-Indian writer Salman Rushdie several times during a lecture. The perpetrator may have been inspired by the death sentence of Rushdie, the spiritual leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini, in 1989 had pronounced after publication of the work The Satanic Verses. Half april 2023 an Islamic cleric in Pakistan posted a renewed call on social media to kill Geert Wilders. The reason for this was the drawing competition for Mohammedcartoons that Wilders entered 2018 wanted to organize.
In the short term, it carries jihadist propaganda, in which the Netherlands is explicitly mentioned as a country that is guilty of blasphemy, contributes to an increased terrorist threat against our country and our interests abroad. The threat against Dutch targets in countries where cells affiliated with ISIS are already active, is larger than in the Netherlands itself.
There are currently no concrete indications that people in the Netherlands are preparing an attack
Violent threat from right-wing terrorism remains conceivable
Within the Netherlands, the main right-wing extremist threat of violence comes from online followers of accelerationist and similar right-wing terrorist ideas. Accelerationism is based on the population theory.(1) Supporters want to use terrorist violence to precipitate a race war, with which the current political system can be replaced by a white ethno-state. There are probably a few hundred Dutch-speaking supporters of these ideas. This number does not seem to have increased in the past year, but there is progression within the movement. In addition, more experienced participants in online networks retreat to closed app groups with a select group of acquaintances.
The Dutch right-wing terrorist environment continues to have a low level of organisation. It mainly concerns susceptible boys and men from thirteen to the late twenties, who often have an unstable home situation and sometimes struggle with psychosocial or psychopathological problems. This problem can make it difficult to enter into social contacts in the physical world, leading them to look for digital entitlement. Online they share their own language and iconography, for example through memes (see box Memes as right-wing extremist means of communication).
New members joining online groups take inspiration from decommissioned organizations like Atomwaffen Division or The Base, loose extremist or terrorist text fragments and the actions of previous attackers. Dutch supporters of accelerationism often cut and paste pieces of ideas to put together their personal right-wing terrorist ideology (see box Extremism unpredictable due to 'cut-and-paste ideologies'). Some look for an appropriate ideology to match their lust for violence. Their shifting ideological underpinnings can make it easier to move from one online group to another, or to be a member of several groups at the same time. Because elaborated extremist ideologies are rarely discussed in these online groups, and mainly superficial violent ideas are shared and attackers are honored, these groups may be more accessible to new interested parties.
In the Netherlands, members of this right-wing terrorist online milieu have not committed any terrorist attacks. Also worldwide, the number of attacks from accelerationist corners remains relatively limited for the time being, especially in recent years.
KADER – Right-wing extremist violence in Europe rarely by young people
Most right-wing extremist violence in Europe is of a different nature than the attacks that accelerationists fantasize about online. Large-scale or prepared attacks such as in Bratislava 2022 remain exceptions. According to the Norwegian scientific research company C-Rex, the 26 far-right attacks in Western Europe with fatalities between 2015 en 2022 only five perpetrators younger than 25 years involved, one of whom was a minor. No fewer than twelve perpetrators were over the age of forty. While young people in particular distribute terrorist content online, the actual attackers in Europe are often much older.
On Friday 23 december 2022 shot a French man from 69 three Kurds dead in Paris. In addition, three people were seriously injured. He declared a "pathological hatred" towards foreigners and held specific grudges against the Kurdish community. In 2021 the same man with a saber also injured several people at a refugee camp. He remains in a psychiatric institution while awaiting trial. French authorities are treating the case as a hate crime and not terrorism.
The attack shows similarities with an attack on a migrant center in Dover, England, op 30 oktober 2022. Two people were slightly injured after a 66-year-old Briton threw several firebombs. The man committed suicide shortly afterwards. This attack also probably involved psychological or psychosocial problems. Although this attack was initially not considered terrorism either, that changed after right-wing extremist messages from the perpetrator were found on social media. Both attacks appear to stem from a link between deep-rooted hatred of foreigners or Muslims and personal resentment and misfortune, negative experiences with the government and sometimes some ideological components.
However, it remains worrying that the right-wing terrorist online environment also has supporters in the Netherlands. The adherents of this idea, both in the Netherlands and abroad, can immerse themselves in rabid content for years, until a casual incident leads them to concrete violence. Due to the international ideological interconnectedness and the online nature, attacks in one country can inspire potential attackers on the other side of the world to commit a similar act. The attacker at an LGBTI bar in Bratislava in early October 2022 was initially inspired by the Christchurch attack 2019 and was killed by a right-wing terrorist attack in Buffalo, USA, in May 2022 prompted to take action. Copying behavior is actively encouraged within the right-wing terrorist online environment. This does not have to take place in the short term: research shows that right-wing terrorist copycats can take plenty of time to plan their attacks. The actual ideological, practical and psychosocial preparation for an attack can take a long time.
The extreme right seems to be making a cautious advance in the Netherlands. Deze
takes place mainly online and therefore distinguishes itself in important ways
points of the 'traditional', extreme right based on physical encounters.
There would even be a “completely new generation of right-wing extremists”
(Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands, nr. 53, 54).
There are several factors that make this a worrying development.
First of all, online radicalization can happen very quickly. Because of the
anonymity that the computer screen offers, are conversations within chat groups
often more extreme than in the physical sphere, where newcomers enter
such groups quickly conform to the group mores – without
to realize that some statements arise from exaggerations and/or
or bullshit (Wagenaar, 2021).
In addition, the Internet provides access to international networks, after
deletion often reappears under a different name (Hart et al. 2021).
This has led to the current extreme right in the Netherlands becoming strongly international
oriented, especially the influence of the extreme right
the United States has increased. This is reflected, for example, in the support
for the so-called international accelerationist networks, in which is
talked about things like starting a race war through
of terrorist attacks. A few hundred Dutch young people would
be part of such networks. The NCTV recently reported that
the danger of an attack in the Netherlands in the case of the extreme right
lies in this corner in particular (Terrorist Threat Assessment Netherlands, nr. 56).
The extremist landscape in the Netherlands has developed strongly in recent years. Where in the public image the emphasis has long been on jihadism, other forms of extremism have come to the fore in recent years. Since the outbreak of the corona pandemic in 2019 the increasing hardening and division of the social and political debate are visible. Anti-government sentiments are more explicitly expressed publicly, for example in relation to the corona- and nitrogen policy. Moreover, more people seem to radicalize online under the influence of conspiracy theorists and/or radicals- and far-right groups.
Right-wing extremism
■ In 2021 right-wing extremist groups gained more support. Conspiracy thinking, among other things, gave this an impulse.
■ Right-wing extremists try to make their worldview seem normal to a larger audience.
■ When right-wing extremist ideas are more widely embraced, threatens to undermine the democratic legal order.
■ Right-wing extremists applaud chaos, exclude minorities and justify violence, hoping for real, violent revolution in the Netherlands.
Right-wing extremists also feel the threat on a cultural level: in the emancipation of women, gays or transgender people, and in the woke movement. They would be the media, using the education and culture sector to attack traditional values and gender roles.
Many right-wing extremists live in the expectation that this cultural clash will lead to actual results within five to ten years, violent struggle in the Netherlands – a race war. They believe that it gives room for the founding of a fascist, white ethnostate.
Yet most right-wing extremist groups are currently wary of propagating that violent worldview too confrontationally.. Although they don't shy away from explicit hate online, they seem to have learned from the past that acting aggressively in public—like the skinheads of yore—repels rather than attracts potential followers.
Most groups seem to focus mainly on discrediting the current rule of law and dominating the cultural debate, in order to increase their following and make more minds ripe for their (political) agenda.
An exception to this are terrorist spin-offs and loners, for whom chaos, violence and the disintegration of society cannot come soon enough. Read more about Right-wing terrorism on page 6.
Many right-wing extremist groups ensure that they do not stand out from the rest of the population by, for example, choice of words or clothing. No army chests or tattoos – the dress code in many right-wing extremist groups is jacket-tie.
Many extremists also publicly distance themselves from violence. Yet they do consider violence a legitimate means of realizing their agenda. They deliberately only discuss this in their own (decided) kring.
In their expressions, right-wing extremists ride on already living dissatisfaction. As said to anti-government activists. But also for people who cannot find affordable housing. (An opening for extremists to discuss immigration.) Washing out the woke movement (an action movement concerned with social inequality, especially racism) enlarge them out, to be able to respond to annoyance about it. The vast majority of right-wing extremist groups in the Netherlands are currently not expecting a terrorist attack. However, they are indeed a danger to the democratic legal order.
By denying others their rights, they threaten to slowly undermine the rule of law. That lays a foundation for the desired chaos, hatred and violence.
Such insidious undermining is already happening as more people accept their extremist ideas as normal and factual. To this end, extremists sometimes use (pseudo)scientific jargon.
Right-wing extremists succeed in their goal if, for example, it becomes common to see living together exclusively as a continuous conflict, in terms of us and them. Als (disguised) anti-Semitism and hatred of cultural minorities, women, gay and transgender people are no longer recognized as such. And if many people would lose faith, that the best representative of everyone's interests is ultimately a shared rule of law.
Accelerationist ideas are particularly popular among young people who are particularly susceptible to radicalization because of their background. Many suffer from psychopathological disorders that are linear, make black and white thinking attractive to them. This is true to some extent for extremists from all walks of life.
Accelerationists often come from broken families, and they don't have a social safety net. Some have been bullied and have difficulty in school. The right-wing extremist emphasis on white superiority, on masculinity and violence is attractive compensation for some people. Having a gun means power – that's why they're interested in sting- and firearms and working for the Ministry of Defence. They also see that as a preparation for what they see as
inevitable race war. Accelerationist groups recruit vulnerable young people in a sophisticated way. This is done through online gaming platforms and
social media. Potential members are eventually asked to join private groups.
Groups do have drivers (the administrator of a chat group usually) and some form of internal hierarchy, But that doesn't mean there is real leadership. It's more groups of loners inspiring each other. Groups are flexible. They can pop up and disappear again, and come back in another form in another place.
Once in such an online chat group, young people become part of a world in which images of enemies are constantly, hatred, racism and violence are shared. And where they speak very derogatoryly of imagined enemies. Members talk to each other about buying weapons, manufacturing bombs, and committing attacks. They share manifestos that attackers (from other countries) have spread for inspiration, and live streams of attacks. They also venerate attackers as saints. Some groups have ideas about a kind of Valhalla, that white martyrs would wait for the good cause.
Individuals actually help each other in preparing and committing attacks. To this end, weapon manuals, military training videos and guerrilla tactics shared. Accelerationism has led to terrorist violence worldwide that has killed people. Not yet in the Netherlands.
Well there are in 2021 Six official messages sent by the AIVD about accelerationists, on the basis of which the Public Prosecution Service (ABOUT) and the National Police could act. This has led to several arrests.
Following an official message from the AIVD, in December 2021 two Dutchmen convicted of incitement to a terrorist crime, and for participating in the right-wing extremist and terrorist organization 'The Base'.
Supporters of accelerationism present a special challenge to society. Because it often concerns vulnerable loners who constantly incite each other, can the step to violence be taken quickly and poorly noticed by the environment. That requires alertness and resolute action.
To prevent further radicalization where possible, culminating in violence, to prevent, does the service provide customization. In doing so, the AIVD involves partners in care and assistance within and outside the criminal justice chain. If information from the service contributes to a care intervention through such customization,, does this also contribute to national security.
Some anti-government extremists and activists are now increasingly withdrawing into their own parallel society. Some extremists organize their own 'police' or so-called 'defend groups', who do not recognize and challenge the state's monopoly on violence – they themselves say they have to protect protesters from the alleged brutality of the police.
There are activists who only follow their own media, and transition to homeschooling and taking or keeping their children out of school. Hundreds of people unsubscribed from the electoral register, because they no longer have faith in fair governance. So they gradually turn, but more and more, from the rest of society.

The right-wing extremist threat dissected
To prevent important developments and incidents in the current
To be able to interpret the Dutch right-wing extremist landscape
can be divided into three categories,
namely: the classic right-wing extremism (including the
neonazism), intellectual right-wing extremism (for example
Erkenbrand) and accelerationism. Classic neo-Nazi
organizations such as Blood & Honour, Combat 18 in Racial
Volunteer Force hardly seems to play a role at the moment

States has also taken root in other western countries.

led end 2020 until the arrest and later until the conviction
of two young men. In december 2021 condemned the
court in Rotterdam these men from 20 en 21 years before

chat room that he would possess a document containing the
cycling routes of Prime Minister Rutte. However, such a document is
not found in his possession. The 21-year-old man would end
november 2020 start training in defense,
which was prevented by his arrest. After the arrests

Interest from right-wing extremist angle for
firearms
The police are investigating criminal online expressions of
members and administrators of accelerationist accounts and
chat groups. In these circles there appears to be a great fascination for
all kinds of weapons to exist. On Wednesday 9 februari 2022 was

was also in possession of right-wing extremist flags and other

the observation that right-wing extremists are increasingly

worrisome because this is the threshold to actually committing

of the Police is currently conducting a broader investigation

occur within the (non-ideological) criminal circuit. Bee
the police receive several signals that subjects

Concerns about the appeal of the armed forces to
right-wing extremist youth

right-wing extremist young people in the Netherlands it attractive

Risky, in particular with regard to access to and training with
weapons. In recent years, there have been several
examples of defense employees who radicalized and
used or threatened violence. The attraction
of the armed forces on right-wing extremist young people is too
to declare. Thus, the external presentation of accelerationist
groups very militaristic inspired. Values and standards that
apply within the armed forces, like camaraderie, courage and
fidelity, are also highly regarded by many right-wing extremists.
There is also within parts of the right-wing extremist movement
a strong affinity with weapons. A relatively new phenomenon
is that in accelerationist online networks becomes

Interesting pieces about the extreme right, outside the special chapter on p 80-91:
Right-wing (RW) terrorism
In 2020, three EU Member States experienced four terrorist
incidents motivated by right-wing extremism. One terrorist
attack using firearms was committed in Germany and
resulted in the death of nine people;8 another attack plot in
Germany was disrupted. A failed attempt to attack a public
institution occurred in Belgium, while one plot was foiled in
France.
At least three of the four perpetrators were nationals of the
country in which the attack took place or was planned, and
one of them was female.
In 2020, 34 individuals were arrested in eight EU Member
States on suspicion of involvement in right-wing terrorist
activity. Where the offence leading to arrest was reported,9
the most frequent offences were membership of a
terrorist group and attack planning and preparation, often
accompanied by possession of weapons. The suspects
were predominantly male, with an average age of 38, and
nationals of the country in which they were arrested.
The perpetrator of the completed right-wing terrorist
attack in Hanau (Germany) was motivated by racist and
xenophobic ideas, but does not seem to have referred to
previous right-wing attacks like the one in Christchurch (New
Zealand) in 2019, or taken part in transnational right-wing
online communities.10
Arrests of suspects planning to commit terrorist or extremist
attacks were made in several EU Member States in 2020. It
is concerning to note the increasingly young age of suspects
– many of whom were minors at the time of arrest. Most
are linked to transnational violent online communities with
varying degrees of organisation.
These online communities espouse the ‘leaderless
resistance’ concept of the SIEGE culture and accelerationist
ideas. Such ideologies promote the view that attacks by
individuals or small groups, rather than large organisations,
are required to accelerate the anticipated breakdown of
society. This can be used to justify lone-actor attacks, like
those observed in 2019.
Right-wing terrorism and extremism continued
to comprise a very heterogeneous set of
ideologies, political objectives and forms of
organisation, ranging from lone individuals linked
to extremist online communities to hierarchical
organisations. Violent Neo-Nazi and white
supremacist groups were dismantled and/or
banned in several EU Member States, including
Germany and Spain. Their stated aim was to
attack those whom they considered ‘non-whites’,
including people of Jewish or Muslim faith, to
destroy the democratic order, and to create new
communities based on racist ideology. Some of
these groups financed their activities through
criminal means, including drug trafficking.
Combat training and access to weapons are
factors increasing the capabilities of rightwing
extremists to commit acts of violence.
Right-wing extremists often own, and in many
cases collect weapons, and they tend to have
an increasing interest in paramilitary training,
sometimes outside the EU, for example in
Russia.
In 2020 enhanced public awareness of climate
and ecological crises led right-wing extremists
to increasingly promote eco-fascist views.
According to eco-fascism, these crises can be
attributed to overpopulation, immigration and
the democratic systems’ failure to address them.
Video games and video game communication
applications were increasingly used in 2020
to share right-wing terrorist and extremist
advertising, in particular among young people.
Right-wing extremists continued to use a variety
of online platforms, from static websites to
social media and messenger services.
In the EU, Turkish ultranationalists were
involved in confrontations with critics of

protesters.

Among right-wing extremists also, COVID-19 was observed
to accelerate the trend of spreading propaganda online,
rather than offline. EU Member States noted an increase
in transnational right-wing activities online, while in-person
contact was limited by COVID-19 restrictions on movement.
…
Right-wing extremists exploited COVID-19 to
support their narratives of accelerationism and conspiracy
theories featuring anti-Semitism, and anti-immigration and
anti-Islam rhetoric. Left-wing and anarchist extremists also
incorporated criticism of government measures to combat
the pandemic into their narratives.
(…)
The level of activity concerning explosiverelated
attacks linked to right-wing terrorism
or extremism did not increase further
compared to 2019 and the identified trends.
The methods still included the commission
of arson and explosive attacks with simple
improvised incendiary devices (IIDs) or IEDs
constructed with readily available materials. In
addition, some incidents once more showed
that right-wing terrorists were still interested in
and capable of manufacturing more complex
HMEs, such as TATP and nitroglycerine.
(…)
Right-wing extremists discussed methods to use
COVID-19 as a weapon: close contact, airborne and fomite
transmissions were suggested as sources of contamination
targeting minorities, politicians, police officers and
medical staff. Shipping of contaminated products was
also suggested. Taking advantage of the COVID-19 crisis,
right-wing extremists further suggested attacks on critical
infrastructure, governmental facilities and the use of cyanide
to contaminate drinking products.

Links to larger criminal networks appear to be less common.
Nevertheless, an overlap between organised crime groups
and right-wing extremists, in particular with regard to
weapons procurement and drug trafficking, has been
observed. In January 2020 in Mallorca, for example, Spain
arrested 16 members of United Tribuns Nomads Spain,
the Spanish chapter of an international organisation linked
to drug trafficking and sexual exploitation of women. Part
of the group’s proceeds in Spain was used to finance its
members’ activities in violent right-wing extremist groups,
including football hooligans and neo-Nazi groups38. Also
in Spain, a transnational group trafficking in weapons,
including military weapons, was dismantled in late 2020. The
group was providing weapons to drug trafficking networks in
southern Spain. Three individuals were arrested, including a
German citizen who was linked to right-wing extremist and
neo-Nazi networks and had at his home a collection of Nazi
objects, uniforms and flags.
(…)
Organisations can rely on their members for funding
activities. Violent right-wing extremist organisations in
Finland and Sweden, for example, finance their activities
mainly through membership fees and donations from their
members and supporters. Poland observed that, in addition
to collections from members, right-wing extremist groups
fund their activities through legal private businesses run
by members or by selling nationalist paraphernalia.

RIGHT-WING TERRORISM
The number of convictions for right-wing terrorism
increased in 2020 (11) compared to 2019 (6). In Germany,
eight German nationals appeared before the Higher Regional
Court of Dresden on charges of participation in a terrorist
organisation and, in one case, leadership of a terrorist
organisation. Five of the defendants were also charged with
other offences of breach of the peace and grievous bodily
harm. The court determined that, in September 2018, the
defendants set up an extremist, right-wing orientated chat
group with the aim of initiating a violent overthrow of the
existing social order. They had planned demonstrations
to take place on the 4 October National Day in Berlin and
considered using firearms. A few days before that, a trial run
took place in the Schlossteichinsel area of Chemnitz, during
which five members of the group were arrested. Further
planning by the defendants was revealed, partly from data
saved on their mobile phones. On 24 March 2020, the court
found all eight defendants guilty. The leader of the group
was sentenced to five years and six months’ imprisonment,
while the other seven defendants were given prison
sentences between two years and three months and three
years and nine months.
In Lithuania, on 18 September 2020 the Vilnius Regional
Court sentenced one defendant to a prison term of two
years and four months after it established that the man,
who belonged to the right-wing extremist group Feuerkrieg
Division (FKD, ‘Fire War Division’), attempted to commit an
act of terrorism. On 5 October 2019, he placed an improvised
explosive device (IED) at a building but it failed to explode.
He was also convicted of holding explosives for terrorist
purposes and a firearms-related offence.
(…)
The average prison term for separatist and right-wing
terrorism-related offences in 2020 was six years, and for
left-wing terrorism-related offences it was five years. This
average is higher than the average for right-wing terrorismrelated
offences (three years) and separatist terrorismrelated
offences (four years), and lower than the average for
left-wing terrorism-related offences in 2019 (19 years).
The threat level is based on DTN 54 determined on level 3. A terrorist attack in the Netherlands is conceivable. There are currently people in the Netherlands who are radicalising or who are strongly radicalized and who are at risk (kunnen) vormen. There are currently no indications that persons in the Netherlands are preparing an attack. It is conceivable, however, that a loner will commit an attack. In recent years, attacks in Europe have mostly been committed by Islamist and jihadist single-acting perpetrators, in whom extremist ideas can sometimes be accompanied by psychosocial or psychiatric problems. The attacks in France and Austria in the autumn of 2020 fit into the picture of the threat posed by individuals. The threat level is based on the elements below.
CIDI recorded in 2020 135 anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands. This brings us back to the same level as the anti-Jewish incidents we registered in 2018. 2019 was a sad low point in the annual CIDI monitor in terms of the number of incidents measured, which appears for the 37th time this year.
Unfortunately, we saw the number of followers of conspiracy theories increase significantly in the past year, both on social media and beyond. It is not uncommon for Jews to be identified as the cause and / or stakeholder in the corona virus. It is good to see that the fight against anti-Semitism has entered the political agenda, both nationally and in some municipalities. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the path taken is hopeful.
