CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "Shawcross has now disagreed publicly. The Home Office had, he said, ‘ignored’ key recommendations to beef up Prevent’s performance and the glass remained only ‘half full.’ I have some experience of bureaucratic sleight of hand at work when it comes to reviews and recommendations. When I was tasked by the Government to look into the Prison Service’s colossal and unforgivable failures in containing Islamist extremism a few years ago, I made 69 recommendations which were mysteriously repurposed into 11 without my consent; eight were finally accepted."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson quoted: "Ian Acheson, who reviewed the threat of Islamist extremism in prisons in 2016, cautioned against a move towards viewing the many hundreds who were convicted of criminal offences during the riots as a single group susceptible to far-right ideas, a narrative that could be welcomed by extremists."

“Berlin – The triangle on the wall of a house glows blood red. The message: Anyone who lives here is a potential target of the terrorist organization Hamas . The symbol is appearing more and more often in Germany, for example several times in June at the Humboldt University in Berlin. […] Israel has been at war since October 7 and the Hamas attack . And since then, anti-Semitic acts of violence have been on the rise in this country. Not only Jews, but "also people who are committed to protecting Jewish life are in danger," explains Alexander Ritzmann in an interview with IPPEN.MEDIA . He is a consultant at the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) in Berlin and has now published a guide for security authorities, among others. This guide is intended to help identify key figures in anti-Semitic movements. Because behind anti-Semitism lies a targeted agenda in which organized crime (OC) is also involved, says Ritzmann.”

"Daniel Roth, Managing Director at the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), stated that much of the underground system remains intact despite Israeli airstrikes and ongoing efforts to neutralise it.

He told the Daily Express: 'Given that Hamas constructed a subterranean complex, the so-called "Gaza metro", more extensive than the London Underground, it is completely feasible that much of the tunnel system is still functioning.'"

"'The intelligence community is vast, but so are the number of priorities assigned to its staff,' said Norman Roule, former national intelligence manager for Iran and senior adviser to the Counter Extremism Project. 'Absent steady policymaker demand, the system moves resources — and demands on our partners — to targets that are perceived to have greater policymaker interest.'"

"'Rightwing extremist propagandists have been looking for a Telegram alternative for several years,' said Joshua Fisher-Birch, analyst at the Counter Extremism Project, who first alerted the Guardian to the SimpleX migration of far-right extremists. 'This is the most significant platform change for these specific, extreme, privacy-focused online white supremacist communities to date.'"

“There is a lot of speculation, but hardly any precise information. Since October 7, Israel has been hunting Jihia Sinwar , one of the masterminds of the massacre that the terrorist organization carried out in Israel that day. More than 1,200 people were brutally murdered, more than 250 were kidnapped in the Gaza Strip. And the Hamas leader is still at large. […] To find out details about his whereabouts, one would have to be a member of the Israeli or American security apparatus, says Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the international Counter Extremism Project and head of its office in Berlin. "In my opinion, Sinwar is still in the Gaza Strip, or rather in the tunnels under the Gaza Strip ," Schindler told the Tagesspiegel.”

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
