We remove books that do not adhere to those guidelines,” an Amazon spokesperson told Hatewatch.Īmazon did not respond to Hatewatch’s observation that an antisemitic hate group is promoting their site ranking in “Jewish social studies.” The tech giant lists on its website a policy that suggests it does not “promote organizations” like Antelope Hill. “We have content guidelines governing which books can be listed for sale and promptly investigate any book when a concern is raised. In other words, Amazon has declined to take into account the fact that they are financially abetting a white supremacist group. In a comment, the company said they based the removal of the content on the literature itself, rather than the publisher. Amazon removed some of the titles and chose to leave more than a dozen other titles standing. Hatewatch found close to two dozen Antelope Hill titles sold through Amazon and reached out to them for comment about the phenomenon. He is best known for harassing women and journalists on Twitter and producing a racist and antisemitic podcast. 21, 2021, tweet showing that white supremacist Trey Garrison’s brief, loosely edited book, Opioids of the Masses, trended as a new release in the category of “Pharmaceutical & Biotechnical Industry.” Garrison, who relocated from Dallas, Texas, to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 2020, once worked as a newspaper columnist before his byline started to disappear in 2013. “There has been no shortage of writings detailing an incompatibility between Jewish and Gentile peoples from a variety of sources and perspectives,” they wrote on the chat app Telegram in reference to the charting book.Īntelope Hill posted a screenshot in a Dec.
Antelope Hill described this book, which as of this writing charts in Amazon’s “Jewish social studies” category, to their readers as evidence of “millennia of conflict” between Jewish and non-Jewish people that rejects “any possible reconciliation” between the two groups. Neo-Nazis and other antisemites selectively uplift commentary made by Jewish people to justify their view that people of that faith want to harm them or should be made to live separately. For example, the group published a tweet on July 17 boasting that their reprint of a 1924 text, authored by a Jewish man and purporting to show differences in behavior between Jewish and white, non-Jewish people, was trending #1 in Amazon new releases under the subcategory of “Jewish social studies.” Antelope Hill promotes their relationship to Amazon publicly. Like Twitter, which extremists exploit to grow their ranks and instigate chaos, Amazon consistently ranks as one of the most highly trafficked websites in the world. Hatewatch reached to Antelope Hill via email for a comment on this analysis but did not receive a response. What money the extremists do bring in through Antelope Hill appears to be made through their website and with the help of online retailers like Amazon, who may set limits around selling some hateful material, but does not adequately assess whether the sellers themselves are part of the organized white supremacist movement. Members of National Justice Party host book-burning parties, where they set fire to books authored by Jewish people and others they revile.Īntelope Hill established their publishing business as an LLC, and Hatewatch has been unable to determine how much profit they make from selling their books. The company collaborates frequently with National Justice Party, a pro-Hitler white supremacist group that traffics heavily in antisemitic conspiracies, and they sometimes sell books authored by its associates. Hatewatch reported in June that extremists Vincent Cucchiara, 24, Sarah Elizabeth Cucchiara (née Nahrgang), 25, and Dmitri Anatolievich Loutsik, 25, run the publishing company Antelope Hill from properties they own in eastern Pennsylvania.
