The ADL Center on Extremism has identified a coordinated effort to spread #antisemitic content on @Twitter, explicitly drawing inspiration from @elonmusk's takeover of the company. In the past 24 hours, over 1200 tweets and retweets have spread antisemitic memes. Screenshot of an antisemitic tweet with an image titled &quo

While QAnon may have begun as a fringe, internet conspiracy theory, it has migrated into the mainstream, becoming a powerful force in American politics.
With the 2022 midterms right around the corner, QAnon adherents—animated by false election fraud claims—are looking to insert themselves and their beliefs into the electoral process. Our Center on Extremism highlighted this alarming trend here: adl.org/resources/blog…

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.

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.

Full survey results: adl.org/american-attit…
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.
