no one goes to a synagogue or mosque expecting to be terrorizeed and gunned down. yet, this week, 50 people were massacred at two new zealand mosques. the suspect accused of executing them described as extremist and linked to a white supremacist manifesto. young children with gunshot wounds. i want to repeat that, young children with gunshot wounds. they call the shooting the latest indication that violent white supremacists pose an international terrorist threat. extremists around the world can inspire others like never before. here in the u.s., the fbi says hate crimes are on the rise. the religious hate crimes in 2017, nearly 20% were anti-muslim. also a recent up tick in domestic terror arrest, 25 in the last three months of 2018. a senior fbi official calls it one of the highest arrest quarters in the last two years. adding those domestic terror arrests include, but not limited to national terrorists. late last year, attacking the synagogue, the deadliest attack on a jewish community inside the u.s. the suspect, a 46-year-old white man yelling anti-semitic slu

it's no longer just today it's two mosques in new zealand, yesterday it was a synagogue in pittsburghore it was churches in cairo, mosques in pakistan, et cetera. so it's become decentralized. we need a way to address international security because that's what governments are for. >> rabbi pearlman, let me ask you, houses of god as targets. why is a house of god a target for a white supremacist, a white nationalist? we saw it in pittsburgh and we saw it in new zealand. >> well, first i want to just express my deep sorrow at the losses in christchurch and just to the mom representative of the people in islam, just an expression of my deep sadness in what has happened in new zealand. >> thank you, rabbi. >> you know, i think that what we're seeing here is a deliberate strategy on behalf of the white nationalists against the soul of our people. and we are all brothers and sisters in faith and we know that there are times when we come together in the houses of worship, the houses of god where there is a certain decorum of silence, of solemnity. and they are -- these cowards, these terrori

there have been no talks with the palestinians since, and none certainly on this trip. he also went to a synagoguelt in the roman tunnels that are actually under the muslim quarter here of the old city. and again, a prayer was said by the rabbi for president trump. and then you're going to have the extraordinary visit only two weeks before the israeli election with this embattled israeli leader getting a big boost of support by the american administration, and going to the white house next week for dinner with president trump. >> andrea, no democratic presidential candidate has committed to attending the aipac conference next week, and liberal groups are calling for a boycott. does that signal a political shift around this? >> i think there is a shift. netanyahu has been a polarizing influence among american jews, lobbying groups, interest groups. you've got the j street group and others who are more liberal and are strongly against his policies. and most recently, he aligned himself with some really right wing anti-arab well-known group here's that are disciples of meier kahane, a rabbi from broo

synagogue of satan. i disagree, she should have the opportunity to speak. host: and say what she said. you don't see anything wrong with what she said? caller: no. der those terms, you would say they were sanctioning god for talking about the synagogue of satan? host: there is a piece on vox with the headline -- let me read it to you. omar anti-semitism controversy explained. i have to scroll down to say that part because the writer goes through what she has said. she says it is true there is a powerful political influence that pushes american policy in a pro-israel direction. they are not all important. the ties run a lot deeper from lobbying money, but evidence suggests they clearly have clout. the chart of anti-semitism is used to immunize israel from criticism at any time. i cannot count the number of times i have been called an anti-semite or self hating jew. a muslim member of congress is far more likely to be targeted this.usations like the point that it would be better to talk about the underlying issues is reasonable. the irony is her word choice is what causes this problem, the allegiance, is a touchy subject for good reason. it touches

no words for condemning white nationalism. this is a man who said they were very fine people represented at the charlotte rally, when it came to the synagoguessburgh, the attacks in canada, and i'm not surprised to see there has been a complete absence of him condemning white nationalism and its ties to what happened in new zealand on friday. >> what about, hoda, fox news because they did yank her show, there were actual consequences for one of its hosts. what's your response to that? >> i will say in this whole story, that's the most surprising thing. i am completely surprised and i am appreciative there were consequences. i think it remains to be seen if the show has been pulled completely or if it was just her show over the weekend. but i do -- i respect fox news for condemning her statements because, you know, questioning another american's loyalty because of the faith they represent, that's antithetical to our american values. >> the way they did it -- and we don't know her future. they didn't make any public announcements about the show. they just quietly suspend heard show. >> right. you know, i think that there can definitely be more

synagogue here in the united states recently. that's a motive -- >> that was motivated by fringe ideology. >> anti-semitic, no matter where it comes from, is wrong. when you're in a situation where you are an elected official, we have the history that we have, what happens when you don't stand up and say this is evil, and call it what it is. we have an obligation to do that. and i think it is shameful that nancy pelosi and leader hoyer and democratic leaders will not put her name in the resolution on the floor and condemn her remarks and remove her from the house foreign -- >> you feel that president trump has done enough to tamp down the right-wing fringe anti-semitism that's coming up? >> i don't believe it's right or left. this is an issue where we should all come together, the president, the vice president, the senate, the house, no matter what your party is. stand up and say in today's word, when anti-semitism is on the rise, when we have the history that we have and we know what happens when people remain silent, every single one of us must at all times stand against it. >> there's a couple foreign policy headlines. this was

no, he didn't. he needs to call out white supremacy. what unified shooter in the charleston church? what motivated the shooter in the pittsburgh synagogueed in new zealand? it was a white supremacist and bigoted ideology that's a threat. when he says he doesn't think it is a significant threat, that's what he said after charlottesville. in my virginia, when a paralegal was killed and two straight troopers lost their lives trying to bring order to a situation where white supremacists and neo-nazis descended upon charlottesville, it is a major problem. he should call it out. if he doesn't, those of houston believe in safer communities, we need to call it out. >> but tragedy has once been put the spotlight on immigration. the attackers' manifesto was filled with anti-immigrant, anti-muslim ideas. talked about, quote, invaders, for example. and then yesterday, the president made this comment about many of the people trying to come into the united states. >> we're on track for a million illegal immigrants. people hate the word invasion but that's what it is. it is an invasion of drugs and criminals and people. >> nothing is in a vacuum, sena

no law that bridges the freedom of speech. and yet since 1954, our government has restricted that freedom in churches, synagogues, and mosques across the country. i myself a pastor for 25 years prior to coming here personally experienced this. thomas jefferson said that to take a single step beyond the boundaries, especially drawn around the powers of congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power no longer susceptible to definition. and what we're trying to do is return to the intended definition of the 1st amendment and free our religious congregations from the icy glaze of the irs. hr 1, the bill before us, in this committee, espouses the ideals of freedom of speech. my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have stated that this bill is about giving every citizen of our country the right to express that freedom. i wholeheartedly agree that the right of freedom of speech must be respected by our government because my amendment seeks to protect the rights of free speech, while providing safeguards for the delineation of the nonprofit sector in our tax code. i strongly believe that this deserves our vote. i yield

synagogue in pittsburgh. a day before yesterday coptic churches in cairo. the victims and perpetrators can claim to be of the muslim faith, the christian faith, the jewish faith, no faith has a monopoly on terrorism and no faith is immune from terrorism. it could be ethnic based, as in this case, white supremacy. the solution requires understanding the pain of each side. the root problems of it. there are some fears that they white communities have and these fears have to be recognized and they have to be addressed. we're a different century right now. a different world order. boundaries are not the same. identities are not the same. identities are shifting. when i was growing up, committees were bounded by very clear cut identities of national identity, language, culture, food, today we're all getting increasingly mixed up. more and more so. my congregation has different people. boston european. a greek, irish, american father. this is the way of the future. we eat chinese today, we eat italian tomorrow. we have hum -- this is who we are becoming. we have to have a clear idea of where we are going. today what we need is a new and globalized version of nato. we n

no gray area, us versus them. the hero's narrative is important. this shooter, just like dylan roof, just like the shooter in synagogue, like the quebec shooter that killed six in the mosque, they all think they are the hero. they are the protagonist. they are the paul revere's warning the rest of us. i'm willing to do what it takes to save our civilization. when it comes to white supremacy, this manifesto, it's based on a fear of white supremacists, the white genocide fear, the replacement theory, meaning jews are head of the kabul. they use immigrants and savages to overpop late western civilization and western lands, they are going to weaken us. we have to attack them so we can have glory. i will say one thing because people aren't focusing on this. he cited things white nationalists use. the battle of 1683. it's always used by white nationalists. they say europe staved the empire. another battle, battle of acre, 12th century, when the christians went against and retook jerusalem against the muslims. if you look at the theme, this is a global infrastructure, which has been mainstreamed from the top down. elected officials and right wing groups.

synagogue. this has happened quite a few times in america. we say there is noise in extremism, and we know if that was not an islamic terrorist, we know that if that was a minority, it would be an act of god, and there would be a moratorium on america. we need to stop playing games and realize there are weak minded people that will follow any idiot with a cause. not everybody is as stable. we cannot blame it on the media because the media does not force people to say stupid things. we need to understand this is going to be a bigger issue if we don't start to tackle it. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i agree with the past few cars you had that really we have a problem on our hands and i would encourage the press at all different levels to think of their own practice and understand they are a powerful force necessary because we are lucky enough to have a free press. but their job is to educate the masses, and we have to help each other with our strength to understand what is happening. this is global. it is not just american. we

synagogue last year, october. in the sutherland springs church massacre the year before that. these are sitting ducks, people who are praying, targets that have nof an entire year. the manifesto seems to indicate this crazy mass murdering theme, motivated by the immigration crisis. he said he is a white nationalist, immigration is as hot an issue there is a was here or in great britain. it was one of those things, multiple perpetrators apparently if those reports are true. ieds attached to the perpetrator's vehicle. this was a butcher out to get a butcher's bill. there were three or four perpetrators, very serious attack, all white nationalists, and escalation of violence that is horrifying. >> four have been arrested. one man, a guy in his 20s was charged with murder. what does it say about him or our culture that not only would he kill all these people, there were hundreds waiting, he said there wasn't any time to aim, there were so many targets. he didn't just kill the people that had to do it on social media. he had ago pro on his helmet and walked in and live streamed on facebook for 17 minutes. why was that? >> there is this seth exultatio

going to a church or synagogue, but here it was targeted against the muslim community based on their faith and it was sheer disbelief. you try to understand the logic but there is nowhich means "to god we belong and to god we return" and today is one of those days where everyone needs to come together to say these acts will unite us, not divide us. we live in an era when some of these ideas are fomented online by social media platforms and in this case that the property was shared online. —— the depravity. what we have to do, the evidence we took from the chief of counterterrorism, he said in 20181.9 million pieces of extremist ideology were taken down by twitter. that shows there is a real issue regarding how these individuals are radicalised and this is notjust an issue we will face in new zealand, we are now seeing far right extremism, we saw it in norway in 2011, innocent children lost their lives, we are seeing it in new zealand now. we saw it in england before, we saw my brilliant colleaguejo cox who lost her life to far right extremism and we have to address how these individuals get sucked in and sharing information and ideology. we heard the home secretar
