"Hans-Jacob Schindler, senior director at the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), said ammonium nitrate – which is also used as a fertilizer - is the “'explosive of choice' for making quick and cheap improvised explosive devices.
Overall, Schindler believes there are around 10,000 people in Germany who 'broadly agree with what Hamas does and are willing to take part in demonstrations, raise funds and share propaganda.'
Asked if Hamas’ presence would expand in the wake of the October 7 attacks, Schindler said: 'Yes, it has grown already.'"
Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
Fact:
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.
