Neo-Nazi site launches Spanish edition to expand its racism
'El Daily Stormer' tailors its racist and anti-Semitic content for readers in Spanish-speaking countries and Latin America.
A leading neo-Nazi website which rails against Hispanic immigrants is trying to expand its audience beyond a loyal base of US white supremacists – by publishing a Spanish language edition.
The Daily Stormer – infamous for orchestrating internet harassment campaigns by its “Troll Army” of readers – recently launched El Daily Stormer as a “news portal” tailoring its racist, anti-Semitic content for readers in Spain and Latin America.
Andrew Auernheimer, a notorious computer hacker and internet troll who writes for the English-language site, said the Spanish edition fits their mission to spread Hitlerism across the world.
Convicted British anti-Semite Joshua Bonehill-Paine hailed the “Filthy Jew Bitch Campaign” led by a ‘troll army’ from Daily Stormer against Jewish politician Luciana Berger.
He said it had been “fantastically successful” after the politician, who is seeking re-election in 2017, was sent 2,500 tweets by white supremacists.
Between October 2014 and January 2015, Bonehill-Paine posted articles online calling Jewish Labour politician a “dominatrix” and “an evil money-grabber” with a “deep-rooted hatred of men”. Bonehill-Paine illustrated his posts with offensive pictures, including the anti-Jewish cliche of a rat with Berger’s face superimposed on it.

Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Voice of our community to wider society
