Proud Boys: US Domestic Extremism Resurges

The Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group in the US, are reinvigorated by the re-election of President Donald Trump and the pardons he issued to its participants in the January 6 mob action at the US Capitol. This fits a broader trend among domestic extremist groups in the US, with recruitment efforts and confidence bolstered since the inauguration. The group has over 150 chapters domestically, an increasingly international reach, and shows no sign of slowing down. Its Telegram channels are as active as ever, and–going back to the time of Trump’s campaign for a second term, with promises to pardon its members caught up in the January 6th incident–it has projected a posture of being ready to mobilize.

Similar groups have sought political legitimacy in the past. Yet, the Proud Boys seem to be fractured, and President Trump is not too eager to publicly welcome them in a political capacity. Largely considered a domestic extremist group, and terrorist by certain foreign powers, their transition to a political entity remains unlikely. The most pressing concern is the rhetoric of vengeance, which followed the pardons. Key figures such as Enrique Tarrio openly mention retribution and fuel fear of targeted violence.

YAMAM: Israel’s Elite Counter-Terror Unit

Israel’s Yeḥida Merkazit Meyuḥedet, aka YAMAM, is one of the most elite counter-terror units in the world. It is often referred to as the National Counter-Terrorism Unit or the Centralised Special Unit. The unit was formed after the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics of 1972. This event led Israel to realise the need for a dedicated and elite hostage rescue team. The Ma’alot Massacre just two years later forced Tel Aviv to act on that realisation.

YAMAM is under the command of the Israel National Police and a unit of the Border Police (Magav). The unit is responsible for counter-terror and hostage rescue missions within Israel. It works closely with other Israeli agencies, such as Shin Bet and Sayeret Matkal. However, as far as the public is concerned, it is an organisation shrouded in secrecy. YAMAM’s successes are often attributed to other forces, and those who serve are referred to with a single initial. Its reputation within the counterterrorism world has led Western nations to consult the unit on issues relating to hostage rescue.
