CNN on New Zealand: This ‘White Supremacy Terrorism’ Comes ‘from the Top’
‘Not just as an ideology but a motivation for terrorist attacks has been on the increase’
EXCERPT:
BERMAN: "It’s terrorism, period, full stop. And people say, 'Oh, it's New Zealand, it's far away.' The rhetoric isn’t far away at all. The language of invasion, which is all over the manifesto, was the same language used by the Pittsburgh killer in the synagogue. Invasion is also language that’s been used in political campaign ads by the President before the midterm elections. The language of replacement in the manifesto. We heard white supremacists chant 'Jews will not replace us' in Charlottesville. This is not happening in New Zealand. It’s happening everywhere and very, very close to home. So these white supremacist movements around the world, why is this language important to them?"
