A group of Neo-Nazis holding flags with swastikas on them marched on the Wisconsin State Capitol grounds in Madison on Saturday afternoon, with one lawmaker saying their presence was "alarming."
The neo-Nazi rally comes at a time of great division in America over the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Pro-Palestinian groups are calling for a ceasefire amid the fighting in Gaza after Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, launched its deadliest attack on Israel on October 7. In response, Israel launched its heaviest-ever airstrikes on Gaza, with pro-Israel groups supporting the country's right to self-defense.
The group on Saturday wore red shirts that said "Blood Tribe" on the back and performed the Nazi salute, or Hitler salute, which was a gesture used by the Nazi Party in the 20th century as a signal of obedience to their leader, Adolf Hitler.
According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Blood Tribe is described as "a neo-Nazi group with semi-autonomous chapters in the United States and Canada. Blood Tribe promotes hardline white supremacist views and openly directs its vitriol at Jews, 'non-whites' and the LGBTQ+ community."

They have been here a long time. Many just went underground during and after WWII. But apparently they taught their offspring and decedents the same hatred because they are still here and gaining in force.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel you think...
...""Let us be clear: neo-Nazis, antisemitism, and white supremacy have no home in Wisconsin. We will not accept or normalize this rhetoric and hate," Evers said in a statement. "It's repulsive and disgusting, and I join Wisconsinites in condemning and denouncing their presence in our state in the strongest terms possible."
In addition, StopAntisemitism, a nonprofit aimed at combating antisemitism, posted videos of the neo-Nazi group on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday and wrote: "Nazis in Germany 1939? No, Madison Wisconsin 2023."
X account Republicans against Trump also posted clips from the rally and wrote: "This is where we're at in 2023. The rise of anti-Semitism in our country is horrifying."
