Researchers who study social media say that they are seeing an increase in anti-Semitic posts from far-right users of Instagram and Twitter and that the services aren't doing enough about it.
Separate researchers who were independently looking at the two social networks said attacks on Jewish people had spiked on both services ahead of the midterm elections on Nov. 6, similar to a rise in harassment before the 2016 presidential election.
Many but not all of the posts mention billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros, the researchers said. Soros is frequently the subject of unfounded conspiracy theories, and his home was among the targets in a series of attempted bombings this month.
So let's discuss what the definition of an anti-Semitic act is.
ReplyDeleteBob Klein (I made that name up) is an awful person. He's a slumlord. He's openly racist. He votes Democrat. You can't sink any lower and people start to attack him. They call him a slumlord, a racist and a liberal. And now this blog would have us believe that the people who call him that are anti-Semitic because Bob also happens to be a Jew.
Bovine faeces.
Soros is an evil man. He supports openly anti-Semitic groups and works towards undermining western liberal democracy and the destruction of Israel. Calling him out on that doesn't make one anti-Semitic. And frankly, for him to play the anti-Semitism card when he's one of the world's biggest anti-Semites is extraordinary chutzpah.
can you give concrete details of which antisemites he supports?
