In a post on the platform Gab, Jon Minadeo II, from Petaluma, Calif., wrote, “Got handcuffed and arrested in Poland today for (((hate speech))) regarding Aushwitz (sic),” reported Newsweek on Tuesday.
He added, “Just got released tonight with a fine and my computer was temporarily confiscated. Life’s good. You can’t keep me down, Jews.”
Minadeo leads a network of anti-Semitic individuals called the Goyim Defense League. The group’s name is a spin on the Anti-Defamation League, which said that the Goyim Defense League was responsible for at least 74 anti-Semitic propaganda incidents in 2021.
On Aug. 28, Minadeo shared a photo on Gab of him and another individual standing in front of the Auschwitz-Birkenau entrance holding anti-Semitic signs.
Mindadeo’s poster said, “Greenblatt suck 6 million d**ks,” a reference to ADL CEO and national director Jonathan Greenblatt and the 6 million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust. The sign held by the other individual read: “Shoah the ADL.”
