Antisemitic Content Proliferates on Social Media on Week of 9/11 Attacks Anniversary

  • September 13, 2023

Antisemitic content continues to proliferate on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing no signs of decline, with the social media platform taking only minimal action to stop the flow of vitriolic hatred targeting Jews.

As part of its mission of tracking contemporary manifestations of Jew-hatred worldwide, the CAM Antisemitism Research Center compiled a collection of antisemitic posts published on X just this week.

On Monday, the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, Cynthia McKinney, the former U.S. congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate, promoted a antisemitic livestream event titled “Can White People and Black People Work Together to Defeat Our Common Enemy?”

McKinney also shared a link to an article alleging Israel was behind the 9/11 attacks.

McKinney’s posts attracted attention from hundreds of accounts perpetuating similar antisemitic sentiments.

The first post was ultimately removed, but the second remains online, without a “community note” refuting it.

Also on Monday, the X account “Reactionary Groyper” posted “Jews did 9/11.” X limited the visibility of this particular post, but did not take it down.

The conspiracy theory that Jews or entities linked to the State of Israel were involved in or responsible for 9/11 is an unfounded trope that has been thoroughly debunked by all official investigations and expert analyses of the attacks in which almost 3,000 people were killed when al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Conspiracy theories blaming Jews for major historical tragedies have long fueled the spread of antisemitism globally, going back to the Middle Ages in Europe.

is a baseless conspiracy theory and has no factual basis. It is essential to emphasize that such claims are entirely false and have been widely debunked by experts, investigations, and reputable sources. Conspiracy theories linking Jews to significant historical events, including 9/11, have unfortunately contributed to the spread of antisemitism.

The following day, the X account “The Westernist,” with more than 7,600 followers, posted, “Jews are the main creators and purveyors of antiwhite hate. How many Jewish immigration organizations are there? How many promote antiwhite multiculturalism and antiwhite multiracialism? And how many Jews, meanwhile speak out against Europhobic rape and murder?”

This post faced no restrictions from X.

Also on Tuesday, Angelo Giuliano, a China-based political and financial analyst with nearly 75,000 followers, posted, “Most jews (Ashkenazis) are converted eastern europeans with no relations to the Jewish land.”

Such rhetoric, based in historical lies, is aimed at delegitimizing the right of the Jewish people to self-determination in the Land of Israel. Anti-Zionism is a common way contemporary antisemites seek to whitewash their hatred of Jews, and anti-Zionist forms of antisemitism are addressed in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism.

Inconvenient truths…
Most jews (Ashkenazis) are converted eastern europeans with no relations to the Jewish land. (not from original 12 tribes)
on the other side some Palestinian Arabs were jews converted into Islam.

Arabs and Jews were living at peace with each other for… pic.twitter.com/YCOjC6gMPI

CAM CEO Sacha Roytman Dratwa tweeted over the weekend, “In just a couple of minutes of browsing through @X‘s posts using the term ‘Jew,’ it’s disheartening to witness so much antisemitic content. Totally insane to see how X stopped moderating content. Considering the disproportionate number of hate crimes targeting Jews around the world, it’s imperative that platforms step up and address this antisemitism effectively. #TakeResponsibility @elonmusk and #StopHate.”
