The new research, released by the UK-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) on Tuesday, found that in the three days following the attack, the absolute number of antisemitic comments on conflict-related YouTube videos increased by 4963% when compared to the previous three days.

Part of this surge can be explained by an increase in the number of videos focusing on Israel and Gaza published on the platform. But the proportion of antisemitic comments had still ballooned by a daily average of 247% after fighting broke out, according to the ISD.

    Criticism of the Israeli government or the IDF is not antisemitism, which is what 90% of the reports we see here want to claim. We openly support criticism of any government, police or military force. We don’t allow hatred of any people, religion, or ethnic group.

      Even wanting Israel to be cease as a nation isn’t anti-semetic.

            What gives you the right to deny it?

              The fact that Israel is a genocidal fascist apartheid regime ruled by a far right dictator with ties to Israeli Kahanists (aka Israeli fascism)

                  Do you pay attention to Israeli politics or actually watch any Israeli news (I personally watch i24)?
