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-...
Social media platforms should enforce a zero-tolerance policy for the denial of all violent antisemitic events. This content only serves to erase Jewish victimhood and can perpetuate real-world harm.
Get the facts: cyberwell.org/reports/deni...
Major social media platforms action against Holocaust denial, but contemporary denial and distortion has been enforced differently. Our research found only an 18.5% removal rate of posts containing these narratives according to our dataset.
Adapting the same denial tactics, social media users are also denying and distorting the facts of modern-day violent attacks against Jews.
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.
On the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, this moment underscores the moral urgency of remembrance: that the world must never look away when human lives are taken, erased, or left behind.
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.
For Montana, as the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, hearing people deny real events is terrifyingly familiar.
We cannot let history repeat itself through algorithms and comments sections.
We have the proof. We have the data. It’s time to face the hate head-on. Read the report at CyberWell.org.
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.
The online celebration of terror only incentivizes the next attacker, creating a permission structure for real-world violence. Social media platforms must enforce their policies against this unacceptable content and take action to interrupt the cycle of online to offline hate.
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.
From coded terms like "noticers" to "blood libel" accusations in multiple languages, these narratives repackage old hate for new headlines. We continue to work with social media platforms to address content that promotes this baseless, targeted hate toward the Jewish people.
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.
One thread within this narrative targeted human rights lawyer @arsenostrov.bsky.social, who was in Israel during the Oct 7th attack and was one of the victims of the Bondi shooting. AI-generated images of Ostrovsky being painted with "blood" surfaced as "evidence" that the attack was staged.
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.
These hateful narratives do not stay abstract. CyberWell has documented how they often escalate to more extreme rhetoric.
Our research shows these narratives are driven not by bots, but by real people and influencers with vast potential reach, making accountability and enforcement critical.
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.
These aren't jokes. They are examples of hate hiding in plain sight.
Platforms must enhance detection for these high-risk emoji combinations and code words. Just because the hate is hard to spot doesn't mean it's harmless.
CyberWell's research team identified how social media users are finding loopholes in content moderation systems to spread hate through the misuse of emojis and code words like 🧃 for "Jews" or "Jill Kews" for "K*ll Jews."
To the algorithm, 🧃 🧢 🐀 are just emojis. To online antisemites, they are tools to dehumanize Jews and spread conspiracy theories while evading detection.
At CyberWell, we're fighting to cut that noise. But we need your allyship in the fight. Don’t just scroll past hate. Report it. Demand platforms enforce their policies. Be an ally who refuses to look away.
Yet social media algorithms are amplifying the reach of antisemitic falsehoods, normalizing it to the masses. It's become background noise in the digital space, spreading hate to millions of people who may never meet a Jewish person.
With Jewish people representing just 0.2% of the world's population, we're outnumbered. We can't be the only ones advocating for acceptance, understanding, and coexistence. It's everyone fight for a hate-free future.
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.
