From the Jewish newspaper Forward:
“Your clothes will be removed & fumigated. You will be held down and given a bath!,” a Twitter troll tweeted at a Huffington Post journalist, complete with a picture of herself in a gas chamber.
What sounds like an extreme example, is only one of the many attacks on Jews and Jewish journalsits by the “alt-right” during the last months.
So do Jews ever tweet mean things about gentiles? Asking for a friend. Is the hate only in one direction?
Through statements and policy proposals tinged with racism — such as advocating a ban on Muslims entering the
country, and saying many Mexican immigrants are drug dealers and rapists — Trump has become a favorite of white nationalist groups and provided an unprecedented platform for their views.“It’s pretty substantial, what’s out there,” said Todd Gutnick, a spokesman for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which in June created a task force to document attacks on journalists, and analyze the size of the “alt-right” movement.
How many journalists have been murdered by the Alt-Right in the past year? Or are “attacks” simply mean words? So because journalists no longer have a monopoly on attacking people publicly, this is a major crisis?
The ADL is planning to release a detailed report on their findings in October.
In the meantime, we have collected some numbers that showcase the scope of “alt-right” activity on social media, including Twitter trolls.
250,000 anti-Semitic posts are made public across social media platforms every year
The United Nations reported during a recent conference that deals with digital anti-Semitism.
And how many anti-Gentile tweets are made each week? Or is anti-Gentilism not even a thing? Who cares about the goyim? They have it coming?
63 percent of all anti-Semitic tweets are calls for violence against Jews
Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said this during the same UN conference.
So different groups have different interests and many members of groups are willing to fight for their group interest? That’s truly shocking, and exactly what Jews (and every other people) had to do to create their own country. Politics is serious because people get killed in these conflicts of interests.
Stephen Pollard, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, receives 20-30 anti-Semitic Twitter messages per day
“And that’s after I have blocked over 300 different tweeters – a number that increases every day,” he wrote at the end of July.
Well, if he can’t take it, maybe he should sell insurance?
The Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism (GFCA) tracked 2,000 anti-Semitic posts on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube over a period of 10 months. During that time, only 20 percent were removed by the social media sites.
The report for the Israeli Government led forum was produced by the Online Hate Prevention Institute (OHPI) in Australia and published in the report “Report on Measuring the Hate The State of Antisemitism in Social Media” in February. “This demonstrates a significant gap between what the community understand to be antisemitic, […] and what social media platforms are currently willing to remove,” they wrote regarding the the fact that 80 percent of all anti-semitic posts they reported remained online.
How many anti-gentile posts were made and what percentage were removed?
