The 16-year-old, who cannot be named, wanted to scare them out of the Buckinghamshire village of Lacey Green and hoped the attack would see them "f*** off back to wherever", a court heard.

He began posting recruitment videos for a banned neo-Nazi group called Atomwaffen Division at the age of 14, telling others to "join your local Nazis", his trial at Wycombe Youth Court was told.

In messages to other users on Telegram, he mocked those who were just "Larpers" - a reference to live action role play - and vowed he would take action to force any Jewish people out of his village.

He was found guilty of two counts of inviting support for a proscribed terrorist organisation and one count of possession of explosives.

Sentencing him to a two-year rehabilitation order, District Judge Paul Goldspring said he was "going to have to cope" without online gaming for three months and would be banned from social media for nine months.

The judge said he had considered a prison sentence but decided against it in the hope the rehabilitation was successful.

The court heard how the teenager joined a Telegram group called The International Nazi Division (TIND), where he sent his homemade videos that showed a launcher he had made from piping to shoot fireworks at the house.

In a message to the group on 9 December 2022, he wrote that a "bunch of Jews moved in 2 minutes away", he had ordered fireworks from Amazon, was going to "light the house up with rockets", and "scare the s**t out of them", the trial was told.

He said he would film the attack and added: "My goal is to make them feel unsafe and f*** off back to wherever."

Another user responded: "People better never call u a larper again."

'Happy white village now has Jewish families'

In messages on 11 December, he described Lacey Green as a "small white village, happy and nice" that "has now got 3 Jewish family's [sic]."

He claimed he had been watching live Zoom meetings of the local council in which the families had been asking for a synagogue in the area.

"I'm not letting a synagogue get built here," he added. "Bc you know how it's just old people, on one street so many passed away, and all these Jewish people moved in."

In a new group called FW18, the youth posted a video of himself in military clothing carrying out reconnaissance of "the Jew house", performing a Nazi salute and drawing a swastika in the snow.

The teenager made a promotional Tiktok video for his attack on 11 December, which included a statement that read: "The Jews have oppressed and controlled us long enough, this is why we are starting an unwinnable guerrilla war to liberate our people from this modern day slavery.

"This war is unwinnable for the system and we will continue it for as long as it takes to archive [sic] freedom and peace."

'Do the white race proud'

He also posted a statement that said he wanted to "do the white race proud" and added: "I have decided to stop s***posting and make this a reality. I will be filming this attack. The date will be told later."

He then messaged the group on 13 December boasting that his weapon was "like a better version of Stephan" - in a reference to Stephan Balliet, who attacked a synagogue in Germany using a homemade shotgun.

In a video showing a box of fireworks, the teenager could be heard saying: "It's time to f****** kill some Jews."

The conversation continued that evening, with the youth discussing smashing the window of the house he was attacking "so the inside catches".

He was arrested at 10.05 am on 14 December, when police officers raided his home to find him in his bedroom.

The teenager told the trial he was just engaging in "dark humour" and "role playing" and had no idea who lived in the house he had filmed or whether they were Jewish.

He had already been referred to the Prevent de-radicalisation programme by his school and was then withdrawn from classes and home-schooled.

On Telegram he adopted the name Ghost, an SAS character from the computer game Call of Duty, because he played the game "quite a lot."

He bought fireworks on Amazon and filmed a video of a reconnaissance trip down a farm track near his home, performing Nazi salutes, which got a "big response" online.
