"Ari Heistein, an Israel-based researcher with the Counter Extremism Project, said Houthi military leaders risk losing relevance in running their regime if they disconnect from electronic communications for prolonged periods."

“Israel's main objective in the war in Gaza was the eradication of Hamas, but that has not happened. Although the group's military capabilities and supply networks have been diminished, it could still regain strength as the dominant political force in Gaza, Hans-Jakob Schindler, a Middle East analyst with the Counter Extremism Project, told DW.”

"The “CEP (Counter Extremism Project) will transform the former Commandant’s House into the Auschwitz Research Center on Hate, Extremism, and Radicalization (ARCHER),” the nonprofit says in a press release."

“… Last summer, Jurczak sold his home to the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), an NGO that has been fighting extremism since its creation in 2014, and has now decided to open the doors of this three-story house to the public. On January 27, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz , visitors will be able to visit the house that Commander Höss once lived in. The aim of this opening is to "create a global centre to fight extremism in the home of one of the worst extremists and anti-Semites who ever existed," explains Hans Jakob Schindler, director of the NGO. He points out that "while it is essential to never forget , that is not enough to prevent the hatred and anti-Semitism that are taking over our society today."”

CEP Analyst Greg Waters writes: "Syria’s first post-Assad protests broke out on Dec. 25 after a video claiming to show the destruction of an Alawite shrine spread rapidly across Facebook. The video was quickly debunked as several weeks old, the shrine only partially damaged, and the damage occurring during the capture of Aleppo city rather than in an act of sectarian vandalism. But those first hours were enough to stir up the widespread fears lingering just below the surface among Syria’s Alawite minority, bringing many Alawites (as well as Sunnis) to the streets to denounce sectarianism. Rumors of apparently sectarian-motivated violations by Syria’s new security forces against minorities have been widespread since Dec. 9, the day after the fall of the regime of Bashar al-Assad — rumors fueled by both pro-Assad fake news campaigns and the very real violations that had occurred within these communities. Many of these rumors are impossible to verify, while others are quickly disproven by fact-checking organizations like Verify-Sy. But the new government’s apparent use of extra-judicial executions of local ex-regime criminals has only cemented fears that innocent civilians are being targeted purely over their religion, while the lack of transparency has enabled others to impersonate security forces and carry out their own crimes."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "The assailant in the Southport massacre has pleaded guilty to the murders of three children in the town last year. Keir Starmer has leapt with unusual speed to authorise a public inquiry into what drove Axel Rudakubana into his frenzy of killing and if it could have been prevented. We now know that the state’s protective agencies crossed Rudakubana multiple times; he was referred three times to the government’s Prevent strategy, which is supposed to spot and stop tomorrow’s terrorists before hateful thought turns into lethal action."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "We are rapidly becoming a low trust society and this has serious implications for ‘community cohesion.’

The term, coined by academics after the 2011 riots has lately become a soubriquet for institutional cowardice in the face of a national child safeguarding catastrophe. But when it was originally conceived, it was a way of describing the ties that bind communities together and a means of breaking down stereotypes and misconceptions that can fuel sectarian alienation and even translate into ideological violence."
