Democratizing the fight against online antisemitism and driving social media policy enforcement. Report hateful social media posts 👉 https://app.cyberwell.org
Jew-hatred online has fundamentally shifted. Conspiracy theories and stereotypes haven't gone anywhere, but today we see a "new normal" level of hostility toward Jews that makes real-world violence more likely. Platforms must break the engagement loop that amplifies and rewards Jew-hatred.

One method of harm creation found in CyberWell's dataset included weaponizing X's AI tool, Grok, to create a blood libel video falsely accusing Orthodox Jews of killing non-Jews for ritual purposes during a campaign event discussion — a severe policy violation.

All major candidates were targeted with accusations of undue Jewish control. One user invoked the white supremacist trope "ZOG" (Zionist Occupied Government) to allege Jewish control over the US government, targeting mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo.

📊 New CyberWell research: The NYC mayoral election was accompanied by antisemitic rhetoric online. Users exploited tropes and imagery like the "Happy Merchant" cartoon to push hateful rhetoric about Jewish political control in election discussions.

CyberWell and @ajcglobal.bsky.social on the Hill! 🇺🇸 It was a successful visit bringing CyberWell’s research straight to key policymakers, including the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism. Our message: Social media platforms must enforce their hate speech policies at scale.

CyberWell research, featured in @commentary.bsky.social, details a disturbing trend: social media posts by Gazans using the phrase "I am a Holocaust survivor" have surged by a massive 42% since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.

The rise of AI is both supercharging online antisemitism and empowering the fight against it.

As CyberWell Founder & CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor explains, bad actors are using AI to make hateful content more engaging than ever — but it could also be the tool that helps us combat this hate at scale.

Social media algorithms are designed to reward emotions like anger and disgust. Too often, antisemitism falls into this category. With the help of powerful algorithms, they can spread faster and farther than more measured content — ensuring that extremism excels while moderate voices are ignored.

These incidents highlight how antisemites take advantage of cultural moments to promote their hate — with social media platforms helping to amplify their reach. We continue to monitor and report violative content, calling on social media platforms to enforce their policies without exception.

Halloween became a pretext for reviving deeply ingrained antisemitic stereotypes and Holocaust-related hate, both online and offline. CyberWell flagged multiple social media posts with offensive generalizations portraying Jews as greedy or evil, as well as Holocaust mockery and denial.
November 4, 2025 at 10:02 PM
This rhetoric doesn't foster peace but only fuels antisemitism — distorting Holocaust history, comparing Israel and the Nazis, and denying Jewish suffering. It turns suffering into a zero-sum game, where one group’s pain is used to erase or delegitimize the other’s.

Our latest research reveals an emerging trend in online antisemitism: Gazans referring to themselves as "Holocaust survivors."

This form of Holocaust inversion falsely equates the Holocaust with the Gaza war, appropriating the unique atrocity of the Holocaust and trivializing Jewish trauma.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Forget zombies and vampires — the real monster is the antisemitism haunting our digital spaces. CyberWell is shining a light on the blatant hate speech lurking in the darkness, so that social media platforms can finally be free of this specter. Join us at app.cyberwell.org/.

It's not about censoring debate. It's about providing a crucial framework, which CyberWell uses in our online antisemitism research. When we define it, we can recognize it and fight it — together.

The IHRA definition of antisemitism is the international consensus definition of contemporary Jew-hatred. It represents years of collaboration among experts and governments around the world and centers the real experiences of Jewish communities.

Thank you, JewishColumbus, for visiting us at CyberWell during your #Israel614Mission! 💙

We loved your thoughtful questions and the engaging discussion around combating online antisemitism and how our partnerships help make social media safer for all. ✨

Wisconsin is one step closer to adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism and its 11 examples — a crucial, internationally-recognized framework.

If passed, Wisconsin would join 37 other U.S. states that have already adopted the IHRA definition to better combat antisemitism .

Online antisemitism has become more prevalent and violent in nature, yet the world's most powerful digital platforms are loosening content moderation and disinvesting in the very tools designed to keep us safe.

We need more safety, transparency, and accountability, not less.

CyberWell uncovered a viral new trend in online antisemitism following the Israel-Hamas ceasefire: Thousands of posts with phrases like "Gazan Holocaust" or "Gazan Holocaust survivor," equating Gaza casualties with the specific, systematic murder of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.

At CyberWell, we're democratizing the fight against online antisemitism.

Our research shows that social media platforms remove about 50% of reported antisemitic content (2024). But with our reporting platform, anyone can report posts and drive that number up.

Join the fight at app.cyberwell.org/!

The October 7th attacks, and the hijacking of social media platforms to livestream acts of terror on that day, should have been a turning point for online safety. Instead, social media platforms loosened content moderation.
October 27, 2025 at 7:42 PM
The major social media platforms have the largest audiences in the world. With this unprecedented reach comes an immense responsibility. That's why CyberWell partners with social media platforms, providing the expertise and tools to ensure that they don't become platforms for hate.

You don't have to be Jewish to be targeted with antisemitism. As the IHRA working definition of antisemitism highlights, non-Jews perceived as Jewish or connected with Jews can also be on the receiving end of antisemitism.
October 22, 2025 at 2:30 PM
In the wake of the first stage of a deal to end the war in Gaza, we remain vigilant to the threat of online antisemitism. We know from other events that Jew-hatred often shifts in response, taking on new forms and tactics.
October 20, 2025 at 10:24 PM
At CyberWell, we're fighting online antisemitism with data. We built the first open-source database of online antisemitic content, making it public so everyone can search, report, and help stop hate. Together, we're building a brighter digital future.
