DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?
Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
βIf this madness doesnβt end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its peopleβs voices silenced, their faces erased β and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.β
Israel just killed him.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.
