“We deplore antisemitic slogans and symbols at recent protests, including chants of “Gas the Jews” in Sydney,” says US antisemitism envoy Deborah Lipstadt tweets. “We condemn those who take to the streets of cities like London and New York to celebrate Hamas’s mass murder of 1,200 civilians.”
“Reveling in the murder and rape of civilians, or chanting ‘From the river to the sea,’ has nothing to do with advancing security, prosperity, freedom and democracy for the Palestinian people. Such hatred only makes peace harder to achieve,” she says.
“This is not a matter of religion or politics. Murder is never acceptable and cannot be justified by any faith or ideology. Whatever your views on Mideast policy, targeting people because they are Jews or based on a real or perceived connection to Israel is antisemitic.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
