Two white supremacists who posted racist internet messages calling for Jews to be destroyed have been jailed.
Michael Heaton, 42, of Leigh, Greater Manchester, and Trevor Hannington, 58, from Cardiff, described Jews as "scum" and encouraged people to kill them.
The self-proclaimed neo-Nazis were both cleared of soliciting murder. Heaton was convicted of stirring up racial hatred - a charge Hannington admitted.
Heaton was jailed for 30 months and Hannington for two years.
'Race war'Justice Irwin told Heaton his words were of the most "insulting and extreme nature" marked by "violent racism" and said only a significant jail term was acceptable.
The 42-year-old food packer admitted in a police interview that he was a founder member of the Aryan Strike Force (ASF), whose goal was "the eradication of ethnic minorities from Britain", Liverpool Crown Court heard.
The judge told him: "You saw yourself as the leader of a potentially significant and active National Socialist group.
"Your sustained racist rants were intended to bolster that group.
"You wanted to start a race war.
"You are clearly filled with racial hatred and also with violent and angry beliefs".
The court was told that Heaton had posted 3,000 messages on his ASF website between January and June 2008.
He wrote: "I would encourage any religion or race that wants to destroy the Jews, I hate them with a passion".
In another posting he said Jews were "leeches" and "scum" and that black people were "less intelligent than other species".
Hannington, from Hirwaun, Cardiff, was described as a loner by the judge, who told him: "You are a long-standing racist who has never hidden your views, which are violent and vicious in the extreme.
"You are a lonely man with little in your life".
The 58-year-old builder admitted he was an administrator for the ASF website and one of his posts read: "Kill the Jew, Kill the Jew, burn down a synagogue today! Burn the scum".
When police raided the homes of both men they found a whole collection of knives and firearms.
Heaton's bedroom was adorned in flags with symbols of far-right movements, and a samurai sword hung above his bed.
Elsewhere around the house officers found numchucks, batons, knives and knuckle dusters hanging on the walls, and a BB machine gun was also recovered.
Flags bearing swastikas were strewn around Hannington's house and police found a personal armoury including an air rifle and daggers.
