A website belonging to the Patriotic Brigade Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, an organization affiliated with the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan (KKK), was hacked by an anti-fascist Israeli organization, exposing pictures, names and personal information of many of the organizations members.

While the website originally consisted of white supremacist imagery as well as a link to join them, the hack completely altered the entirety of the webpage.

In an exclusive statement to The Jerusalem Post, the hackers identified themselves as an anti-fascist collective by the name Hayalim Almonim - Hebrew for Anonymous Soldiers. 
“Our objective is to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of humanity,” they told the Post.  
“Neo-Nazi and other white supremacist groups believe that Jews have an all-seeing eye. Our desire is to make their fantasies a reality, and exploit their conspiracy theories as a form of psychological warfare. We want them to know, wherever they are in the world that will find them and expose them. We will destroy their lives. And we will bathe in their tears, and mock at the gnashing of their teeth. There is nowhere that is beyond our reach.”

Following the initial hack, the phrase "SHABBAT SHALOM! GOODNIGHT WHITE PRIDE ;)" was shown on full display on the top of the website, alongside other phrases such as "JEWISH SOLIDARITY WITH ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLES," "NEVER AGAIN" and the Hebrew phrase "Od Avinu Chai!!! Am Yisraeil Chai!!!"

The hack also revealed the supposed leader of the Patriotic Brigade, a Texas resident named Kevin James Smith. This included Smith's face, address, phone number, date of birth, both email addresses, proof he paid to operate the website and a link to his page on the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry, where he is registered for having raped a 14-year-old girl.

The organization will also be giving updates of their activities via the Twitter account @justice_jew, which told the Post it was acting as an “information relay” for Hayalim Almonim to draw attention to their activities and find operatives on location. 

Further updates will also be given on their website, jewishantifa.com.

Much of their activities are focused on the State of Texas, which the organization believes is where a majority of dangerous white supremacist organizations are based.

This includes the Patriotic Brigade, which was recognized as a KKK cell by the Southern Poverty Law Center. 

But while they may have been one of the fastest growing cells, they are far from the most dangerous. During their investigation, the Hayalim Almonim uncovered the Church of the Ku Klux Klan, a cell with chapters in 25 different states across the US, whose website - currently unhacked at the time of writing - can be seen at http://kkkchurch.com/.

According to the organization, the group is led by George Bois Stout, an arms dealer in De Kalb, Texas who has organized white supremacist events from his city all the way to Indiana.

Stout is known as TexasKKK on the infamous white supremacist website Stormfront, and has reportedly been active in promoting white supremacy for three decades.

Hayalim Almonim told the Post they fear Stout could be using his gun retailer as a front to arm white supremacists.

In addition, Stout also runs the white supremacist network Aryanfront, based on Aryanfront.org, which seeks to raise money for white supremacist projects.
