Wishing you a meaningful and inspiring Shavuot.

One year ago, the world lost two lives dedicated to dialogue. Remembering Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim means recognizing that violence is shaped by environments where dehumanization is allowed to spread unchecked.

Even when content is eventually removed, the damage is already done. A new report from CyberWell found that just a few hundred AI-generated antisemitic posts amassed over 30 million views and 2.8 million engagements before platforms could fully respond. More here: cyberwell.org/reports/ai-g...

As AI-generated content becomes nearly indistinguishable from real photos and videos, its potential to dangerously manipulate our information ecosystem grows. Digital platforms are using tools to identify AI-generated content, but some are finding ways to evade detection.

This week of Yom HaShoah, CyberWell’s latest insights on the rise of AI-generated Holocaust denial and antisemitism are gaining significant media attention across multiple publications. Generative AI is making it easier to spread harmful Holocaust denial, distortion, and mockery online.

This week of Yom HaShoah, CyberWell’s latest insights on the rise of AI-generated Holocaust denial and antisemitism are gaining significant media attention across multiple publications. Generative AI is making it easier to spread harmful Holocaust denial, distortion, and mockery online.

Holocaust denial is declining, but mutating. Bad actors now deny other attacks on Jews (Oct 7, Bondi), often dodging moderation. Coded language + AI “humor” fuel it. Denying or mocking violence against vulnerable groups is hate speech. Read CyberWell's report: cyberwell.org/reports/the-....

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the victims of the Holocaust. Remembrance today faces a new challenge: the rapid evolution of denial online. Remembrance must be matched with vigilance. As technology evolves, so must the policies and tools to confront this hatred.

As we celebrate Passover, commemorating the liberation of the Jewish people and the journey to the Promised Land, we are reminded that freedom is about being safe to openly embrace our Jewish identity. We wish you and your loved ones a joyful and meaningful holiday!

We are proud to partner with @ajcglobal.bsky.social to share The State of Antisemitism in America 2024-2025. Combining AJC’s comprehensive survey data with CyberWell’s platform-specific insights, this groundbreaking report highlights the urgent reality of online Jew-hate.

CyberWell alerted our partners at major social media platforms after monitoring a sharp rise in antisemitic incitement and hate speech online following the outbreak of the U.S.-Israel-Iran war on Feb. 28. cyberwell.org/news-release...

Social media platforms made strides last year in improving removal rates for online antisemitism, CyberWell found in our 2025 annual report. The average removal rate crossed the majority threshold, reaching 52.4%. More in our annual report: cyberwell.org/reports/the-....

It's here! CyberWell's fourth annual report reveals the state of online Jew-hatred in 2025: the most common forms of antisemitism we tracked, the newest threats, and what the platforms are doing about it. Check out our findings on the changing landscape of online hate: cyberwell.org/reports/the-...

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the 6 million Jewish people murdered in the largest genocide in human history. Despite being extremely well-documented, the Holocaust remains a target of denial and distortion online.

With the return of Ran Gvili’s body, a painful chapter comes to a close — bringing home the last hostage and reminding us that every life, every name, must be accounted for.

The Bondi Beach attack set off a disturbing antisemitic response online. Beyond comments calling Jews "pigs," we also tracked coordinated disinformation that a Jewish man was the "real" attacker — part of the conspiratorial self-victimization trend we see after violent events targeting Jews.

When it comes to attacks on the Jewish community, we’ve reached a dangerous point where even video evidence and survivor testimonies aren’t enough to stop the hate. Montana Tucker sat down with CyberWell to read real comments tracked on social media after the Bondi Beach attack.

Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, suffered extensive damage after an arson attack. CyberWell found antisemitic narratives spreading online in response: praising the attack, calling for more violence, and even claiming Jews orchestrated the attacks against themselves.

New research: CyberWell has tracked antisemitic conspiracy theories around U.S. actions in Venezuela spreading across X, TikTok, and Instagram. Amid geopolitical tensions, we’re seeing a familiar and dangerous pattern: the scapegoating of Jews and Israel.

After the Bondi Beach attack, social media users jumped to poke holes in the details of the attack, casting doubt on what happened and who was really behind it. It's all part of the conspiratorial self-victimization narrative we see after violent events targeting Jews.

When violent events target the Jewish community, the response online is increasingly to deny the event ever happened or to blame the victims for "staging" it. At the IHRA Plenary, our Founder & CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor highlighted how these narratives evade standard content moderation.

CyberWell’s research of online narratives around the antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach — recently cited in @jta.org, @timesofisrael.com, and global publications in German and Spanish — shows how social media users spread hatred, incitement, and conspiracy theories about the attack.

The latest form of antisemitism we see gaining traction online, conspiratorial self-victimization, involves blaming Jews for committing attacks on themselves. It erases victimhood, denies the humanity of Jews, and defers responsibility for the evil of antisemitism in our communities and society.

Emojis are the latest, troubling evolution in how bad actors spread antisemitism online. As our CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor said, “Emojis now function as coded cues that allow users to signal bigoted beliefs and harass Jews without explicitly naming them." Our latest in @jnsorg.bsky.social ⤵️

The #2 most common antisemitic narrative we see across major social media platforms is conspiratorial self-victimization: blaming Jews for committing attacks on themselves. As CyberWell CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor told the IHRA Plenary, the platforms are failing to address this form of Jew-hatred.

To the algorithm, 🧃 🧢 🐀 are just emojis. To online antisemites, they are tools to dehumanize Jews and spread conspiracy theories while evading detection.

A new survey from @axios.com reveals that most Americans don't think antisemitism is a big problem — and half believe Jews can "handle antisemitism on their own." The truth is, we can't.

Being Jewish online today doesn't just mean we're bound to see hate. We actively see our reality twisted against us. When violence targets the Jewish community, like Sunday's antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach, the online response is often immediate. But it's not support and solidarity.

As we're reeling from Sunday's horrific antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach, we mourn those who should be here, celebrating this season of light and joy. Even in our grief, together, we are one strong light that will never be extinguished. Wishing you a Hanukkah full of light in the darkness.

CyberWell is horrified by the attack on Sydney’s Jewish community on the first day of Hanukkah. We are further disgusted by the surge of hatred and incitement that has followed across social media platforms, particularly in the comments section.

Antisemitism online is evolving faster than current definitions can keep up. On December 14, CyberWell Founder & CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor will address the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Plenary Session in Jerusalem to present "The New Antisemitic Denialism Beyond IHRA."

Another voice for Holocaust education has been silenced by hate. Julie Gray and her partner Gidon Lev, a Holocaust survivor, have 460,000+ followers on social media, but faced so much hate that they made the difficult decision to stop posting Holocaust education content.

A modern-day "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is taking root on social media: the "Tired Islam" (الأسلام المتعب) conspiracy. It's a fabricated plot alleging a Jewish scheme to destroy society. This is classic antisemitism repackaged to take advantage of social media engagement algorithms.

Hillary Clinton warned that a majority of young people now get their news from social media, where lack of information integrity, transparency, and limited context can easily turn content into propaganda.

The misuse of the term “anti-Semite” to claim immunity from Jew-hatred is blatantly inaccurate and misleading. The truth: Antisemitism is prejudice, hostility, or discrimination against Jews. Only.

The false narrative that Jews are white isn't just an erasure of the diversity of the Jewish diaspora spread across the globe or the persecution Jews have faced throughout history. It also weaponizes modern concepts of race against Jewish people.

86% of Gen Z young adults get their news from social media, according to research from Stagwell. This reliance underscores how important social media platforms have become to our information ecosystem, and the urgency of their responsibility to combat hate speech and mis- and disinformation.

Say no to hate on social media. YOU can help create a safer digital space for all: ⚠️ Report antisemitic social media posts for removal at app.cyberwell.org/. ☮️ Spread messages of coexistence and equality. 🗣️ Stand up for victims of hate speech.

A new lawsuit alleges that Meta conducted research that found a 'causal' link between use of its apps and negative mental health outcomes — and then buried the findings. These platforms can be fun tools, but users should never have to pay to use them with their wellbeing.

Online hate isn't abstract for those who are targeted with it. Antisemitism on screen is felt in the real lives of Jewish people, impacting their sense of safety and leading many to hide their identity. It's not just pixels — it's a threat that can jump off the screen into real-life violence.

X's new "About this account" feature has begun rolling out, displaying location, join date, and username changes, in a positive step toward greater transparency. It may help unmask inauthentic accounts and combat coordinated hate campaigns.

Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! As digital hate continues to proliferate, your partnership is more vital than ever, enabling us to provide actionable data and expertise to tech platforms and advocate for policy change. Thank you for being a part of our mission!

CyberWell uncovered "Tired Islam," a new conspiracy theory spreading online. This hate, based on a fictitious book that claims Jews have a plan to destroy Muslim society, is being promoted as a religious obligation — complicating moderation and encouraging users to repost false, hateful narratives.

New documents from the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center revealed close coordination between Al Jazeera and Hamas, with Al Jazeera actively conveying their messages and promoting Hamas’ psychological warfare.

Grok appeared to confirm a disinformation post this week that claimed X had disabled translation from Hebrew because of "Jews" posting violent content. It was unclear whether this was accurate, but the damage was already done.

CyberWell identified the newest antisemitic conspiracy theory picking up steam online in Arabic-language videos: "Tired Islam," and it's spreading centuries-old antisemitic tropes, reminiscent of the "Protocols." 🔗 More in our latest in @jnsorg.bsky.social: www.jns.org/cyberwell-id...

The digital space is not an egalitarian "marketplace of ideas" where the best ideas naturally dominate and the worst ideas are left behind. It's an imbalanced space where the most provocative content, including hate speech like antisemitism, is algorithmically amplified.

After recent vandalism at a Jewish school in New York City, CyberWell tracked the antisemitic response on X and Meta platforms. The primary narrative that "Jews did it" included: 1. "False flag" theories 2. Collective blame toward Jews or Israelis 3. Hateful imagery and tropes

There is an undeniable pattern between online antisemitism and offline acts of hate against the Jewish community. CyberWell's research repeatedly finds a dangerous cycle of violence: 1. Organize acts of hate online 2. Fetishize the harm 3. Deny what happened 4. Incite more violence
