...outskirts of the drab seaside town of Ashkelon on Israel's central plain. These days, Mardawi, a trim 40-year-old with a close-cropped gray beard, says he rejects violence. "We can't crush the Israelis and they can't crush us," he admits, sitting on a rough brown blanket on his metal bunk. "You can't crush an entire people. We need to give peace talks a chance."

Stormfront, the first major white-supremacy site, was created in 1995 and now claims to have 45,600 members. Rough estimates put the total number of members of white-supremacist groups in the U.S. at about 100,000. Many more are unaffiliated--which doesn't mean harmless.
