“This was a provocative message meant to make people feel unsafe and threatened,” said Lopez, a Nashua city alderman.
The cluster of spray-painted stenciled messages - “Keep New England White,” “Death to Israel,” and “Defend New England” - are the work of the Nationalist Social Club, which took credit on Telegram, a social media platform frequented by white supremacist and other hate groups.
