[MilitantWire] Islamic State’s (IS) 2025 campaign of attacks and plots in the West shows how the group continues to weaponize online spaces to deadly effect, targeting Jewish, Christian, and general populations across North America, Europe, and the Pacific.
Yes, it’s not just Jews. There are lots of groups they feel a need to conquer nastily.
From New Orleans and Bondi Beach to Villach, Berlin, Mulhouse, Bielefeld, Manchester, and disrupted conspiracies in Canada, the United States and across Europe, IS propaganda has turned sacred times and ordinary public spaces into preferred theatres of terror, with attack planning repeatedly intersecting with Christmas, New Year and Jewish holidays.
