"On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a devastating attack on Israel, killing 1,200 people. In response, the U.S. and its allies sought to isolate the Palestinian militant group, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). Yet, despite international efforts, Hamas continues to thrive, thanks to direct support from six national governments: Iran, Qatar, Turkey, North Korea, Russia, and China. A new report from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) exposes how these states enable Hamas’s survival by providing financial, military, and diplomatic backing."

“The dissolution of Hurras al-Deen, al-Qaeda's last significant affiliate in Syria, demonstrates how sustained military pressure combined with internal ideological divisions can sink extremist groups, security analysts said… Hurras al-Deen claimed more than 200 attacks across Syria before its dissolution, according to the Counter Extremism Project. Hurras al-Deen was seen as a “serious threat” from the outset, France-based terrorism analyst Mohammad Yaqub Hosseini told Salaam Times. "Precise airstrikes targeting the group's leadership played a crucial role in weakening it," he said.”

"“On January 27, 2025, the 80th Anniversary of the liberation of notorious death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, The Counter Extremism Project, a transnational, non-partisan, non-profit organization that has been successfully fighting extremism since its founding in 2014, announced the creation of The Auschwitz Research Center on Hate, Extremism and Radicalization: ARCHER) at House 88. House 88 is the site of the residence of Commandant of the Auschwitz from 1940-44, Rudolf Höss and his family. It sits a few meters from the camp wall and across from Auschwitz’s original gas chamber and crematorium.”

“The detonation in Tel Aviv could be heard for miles. On Friday night, bombs exploded in three empty buses in the towns of Holon and Bat Yam… Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the international Counter Extremism Project, sees a direct connection between Israel's military actions in the West Bank and the situation in the Gaza Strip. "Although there is still no clear strategy for the long-term administration of the Gaza Strip, it is nevertheless clear that Hamas will be weakened at least in the short to medium term," he told the Tagesspiegel. Therefore, from Israel's point of view, it is important to prevent "a strengthening of terrorist structures in the West Bank. As the recent attacks in Tel Aviv have demonstrated, this is still within the realm of possibility."”

"In line with Vance’s goal of preventing hate from spreading and devolving into extraordinary evil, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) — a nonprofit aimed at combating extremist groups — recently purchased House 88, home of the infamous Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his family, which sits just beyond the walls of the Auschwitz extermination camp in Poland. The number 88 was code for Heil Hitler — the letter “H” is the 8th letter of the alphabet."

“BBC interviewed CEP Senior Director Hans-Jakob Schindler in a Newshour segment on February 24, 2025. The interview, on the security situation in Germany, starts at the 39:00 mark.”
