"When warning about civilian casualties from the Israeli offensive, Western governments are also thinking about the dangers of regional escalation. 'Hamas is interested in producing horrific images of dead Palestinian civilians and thereby dragging Iran and its proxies into this conflict,' Hans-Jakob Schindler from the international organization Counter Extremism Project recently told Deutsche Welle."

"Professor Ian Acheson, senior adviser to the Counter Extremism Project, said: 'Jewish people are saying protest Saturdays have made central London a no-go zone.
'This is London in 2023. We are not talking about Berlin in 1936.'"

"Pro-IS groups have also been active in this time, praising the savage Hamas attacks and calling for action on European soil. On October 22, the pro-IS Tala’a al-Ansar Foundation released a video celebrating the Brussels shooting and urged its supporters to launch copycat attacks, according to the Counter Extremism Project."

"Hezbollah is described by the Counter Extremism Project, an organisation which works to combat extremist groups and ideologies, as an .Iranian-sponsored, internationally sanctioned terrorist group with an anti-Israel and anti-US agenda'...

Under his leadership, the Counter Extremism Project says, 'Hezbollah has assumed many state functions in Lebanon’s Shiite-majority south' including welfare, schools and housing."

CEP CEO Ambassador Mark Wallace interviewed: "The way the Qataris pulled this off is by whitewashing their role in supporting Islamic extremism, by supporting businesses and investing vast sums of hydrocarbon wealth across places in London, in the United States, and elsewhere.

"...The perpetrators of these acts are hiding in plain sight, not even hiding, posted in plain sight in luxury." 

"Qatar has had every opportunity to hand over the perpetrators of Oct. 7 to face justice. It has flatly refused. We at the Counter Extremism Project will continue our campaign for the economic and diplomatic isolation of Qatar until every hostage is released, every Hamas leader is arrested and Qatar makes clear by its actions—not only words—that in the war against terrorism it is on our side.

"The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) reported a tweet made by a verified account containing a video uploaded to Twitter/X on October 18, with antisemitic content receiving over 1.2 million views. The video praised Nazi Germany’s economic and monetary policies and Hitler for confronting German bankers. An accompanying tweet spread antisemitic conspiracy theories, encouraging the viewing of two antisemitic and pro-Hitler faux documentaries"

" And the Islamic State, the senior director of the Counter Extremism Project tells O’Donnell, 'is clearly trying to show its relevance.' The effect of competition on transnational terror groups is more pronounced than on localized groups for reasons that should be obvious: The financial rewards and the recruiting grounds are nearly limitless."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler quoted: "These proxies are the armed groups in the region sponsored by Iran, including the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon. Hezbollah has repeatedly launched rocket attacks on Israel but, so far, refrained from mounting a broader offensive. A large-scale Israeli ground offensive is still far from certain, Schindler said."

"As for the impact of the strikes, 'Unfortunately, targeting these leaders will …l make a dent in the short run, eventually they will be replaced, given the nature of Hamas, which is dedicated to an ideology,' said Josh Lipowsky, senior research analyst with the Counter Extremism Project."
