Putin’s false accusation that Ukraine has a Nazi regime is just the latest example of #RussianPropaganda that involves #antisemitism or Holocaust distortion, often in the form of unfounded Nazi comparisons. A thread:
The most famous Russian #antisemitic propaganda is the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a forgery first disseminated in Russia in 1903, which blames a secret cabal of Jews for much of the world’s problems. antisemitism.adl.org/power/
Soviet intelligence agents conducted a campaign of covert swastika painting in West Germany in 1959-1960 to support Soviet propaganda that West Germany remained a Nazi state, while the Soviet Union was the true victor over #Nazism.

While her time in the political spotlight has been brief, Marjorie Taylor Greene has proven to be a dangerous purveyor of #antisemitic QAnon conspiracies, Islamophobia and racism. A brief background ⬇️ adl.org/qanon
Greene launched her career on Facebook as a conservative firebrand, posting videos of her efforts to confront politicians and activists. She is a vocal supporter of QAnon, which the FBI labels a “potential terrorist threat.” thedailybeast.com/marjorie-green…
Following the seditious riot at the U.S. Capitol building, ADL conducted a survey to measure Americans’ concerns about the extremism and violence that was on full display January 6th.
See the full findings here: adl.org/american-attit…
Most Americans now see the connection between the dangerous rhetoric from the President and the far-right to the violence at the US Capitol.
Over 60% believe President Trump bears responsibility for what happened on Jan 6th.
The violence at the Capitol was the “latest example of why it’s essential that policymakers and social media companies take concrete action to prevent future violence.” -@JGreenblattADL.
@ADL found most Americans agree social media companies are partly to blame for January 6th.
BREAKING: ADL’s Survey of American Attitudes toward Jews found that, amid the worst outbreak of anti-Semitic violence in decades, 11% of American adults--28M people--harbor deeply ingrained anti-Semitic attitudes. Read the full survey: adl.org/survey-of-amer…
61% of American adults agree with at least one or more classic anti-Semitic canards, whereas 11% agree with six or more of them.
Longstanding stereotypes about “Jewish power” in business and the “dual loyalty” canard – the notion that Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their home country – remain deeply entrenched and are especially widespread.
