Study Finds Online Antisemitic Harassment Against Jews Caused by Other Jews

May 17, 2019 By CFT Team -- 9 Comments

Antisemitic trolling and disinformation is allegedly rising online, and so is harassment of Jews because of their views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, often at the hands of other Jews who disagree, a new study claims:

The Institute for the Future, a California-based think tank, conducted a series of studies of online propaganda and harassment that took place during the 2018 midterm elections. They concentrated on ways online trolls attack disenfranchised groups like Jews, Muslims, Latinos and LGBTQ people, as well as people with controversial political opinions, like environmentalists and pro-choice and pro-life activists. Their conclusion: Harassment on social media, including coordinated trolling campaigns and the promotion of conspiracy theories, is getting worse, causing users to pull away from online conversations.

The institute’s study of the Jewish community found that anti-Semitic conspiracy theories were highly prevalent on Twitter. More than 85% of tweets in their dataset that used the word “Soros” – a reference to the Jewish financier and Democratic donor George Soros, who is often the subject of conspiracies – were anti-Semitic. “Age-old anti-Semitic tropes and conspiracies are flourishing, particularly among Twitter users that identify as Republicans and/or supporters of President Trump,” the researchers wrote.

But interviews with 17 Jews of varying ages, religious denominations and political orientations – including “elected officials, political candidates, policymakers, academics, activists, journalists, consultants, and commentators” – found that some of the worst harassment was coming from fellow Jews who disagreed with them about Israeli-Palestinian issues.

Many Jewish subjects – including pro-Israel figures, anti-Zionists and progressives who support a Jewish state but oppose many Israeli policies – believed that “Twitter mobs” and “coordinated misinformation campaigns” led by people or organizations with differing views on the conflict, often themselves Jewish, were specifically targeting Jews like them. “All of our interviewees who spoke about divides within the Jewish community considered this a seriously problematic trend,” the researchers wrote. “As complex discourse is replaced by rigid partisanship, the Jewish community is in danger of losing the solidarity which sustained it for thousands of years.”

The study also found that use of language like “neo-Nazi” and “Hitler” were rarely used to target Jews, but were often used to either criticize President Trump or defend him from claims of Nazi-like behavior.

There is enormous pressure among Jews to conform to “group-think”, especially when it comes to supporting Israel and its ongoing effort to wipe the Palestinians off the map.  So-called “liberal” Jews often feel some compassion for the plight of the Palestinians, and that compassion to so-called “conservative” Jews is now being characterized as “antisemitic” and “self-hating”.  Regardless of what country a Jew lives in, he or she is expected to support Israel, right or wrong, and if you don’t go along with this agenda, you’ll be compared to Hitler, the ultimate boogeyman for Jews.

But as we’ve noted here before, there is no love lost among Jews, and disagreements often escalate to the point where the harassment of each other becomes so serious that expensive studies need to be done to find the “cause” which, in this case, is obviously jewish behavior.  And while Jews will acknowledge that antisemitism among Jews is caused by other Jew, antisemitism caused by non-Jews or so-called “gentiles” is never caused by jewish behavior.  And this is the ultimate take-away we can all agree upon here.

    odd how this site left off the last paragraph of the study

    The study was written by IFTF researchers Samuel Woolley, who is also a fellow of the Anti-Defamation League, and Katie Joseff. Woolley told BuzzFeed News that he expected harassment and disinformation campaigns targeting minority groups will get worse during the 2020 election.

    “they concentrated on ways online trolls attack disenfranchised groups like Jews…” They really are making it white vs the rest. Jews run out political system (into the ground), in all respects – biggest donor, own both sides of media, over-representation as office holders: senators, representatives, mayor’s etc… Disenfranchised my beak. This is just anti-white canard. And Soros is a demon, almost certainly has eaten lots of children, and fucked up our nation. Shalom, dicksniffers

    One thing everyone forgets, when they are rushing to defend Palestinian Muslims, is that the Muslims in Palestine relentlessly persecute Palestinian CHRISTIANS, whose human rights have been trampled upon by both Israelis & Muslims for centuries, even though the Christians were there 600 years before Islam was invented.

      Yes, but then there’s the more fundamental issue: can non-Israelites such as Arabs truly be Christian except in name only? If you believe they can, you make Christ into a liar when he clearly stated, “I come not but for the lost sheep of the House of Israel.” Matthew 15:24

        We must be proud of a our race and ethnicity and allow others the same. I believe multi culturalisim is a negation of God created nations. Soon we will pay the price for multi culturalisim but not for speaking the truth in Scripture. Separate development is a historical fact and worth of our protection. God is not a respecter of persons all are in need of Salvation and can hear the word of God and respond.

      Really did they steal their farms and land? Are you so naive as to direct this bull in our direction. Perhaps a Pharisee with a false religious id.

    I’m waiting for the day that a anti-Zionist Jew in America gets arrested for “antisemitism” for demonstrating against or boycotting Israel. There are thousands of Orthodox Jews who support the BDS, so it will hopefully wake people up when some rabbis are lead away in handcuffs.

      The negative flip side is that it could continue to fuel the cognitive dissonance that “the jews may still be like us”…
