New CCDH Research Finds X Hosted Flood of Antisemitic Hate, Calls for Further Violence and Conspiracies Following Golders Green Attack

By CCDH

In the aftermath of the attacks in Golders Green on 29 April, X once again became a whirlpool of antisemitic abuse. New research published today by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) reveals calls for further violence and conspiracy theories targeting the Jewish community. CCDH researchers found that antisemitic abuse inundated prominent British Jewish figures and organisations — including Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis — who posted messages of grief and solidarity following the Golders Green attack. The posts included celebrations of violence against Jews, harmful antisemitic tropes and expressions of desire for further attacks. Researchers downloaded all replies posted in response to ten prominent Jewish accounts who had expressed grief or concern about the attack. From these, they identified 130 hateful ones which remained live on X at the time of analysis, despite appearing to breach the platform’s own policies on hateful conduct and violent speech.
