Antisemites are repackaging centuries-old hatred in new visual forms, using Japanese Tengu imagery to demonize Jews while often omitting explicit references to “Jews” to avoid content moderation.
Thank you to https://t.co/NhYO59KaqN for covering CyberWell’s findings and helping shine a light on this disturbing trend.

The problem isn’t only what social media platforms prohibit. It’s what they fail to catch.
In an interview with @jerusalem_post, CyberWell CEO & Founder Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor explains why the central challenge in fighting online antisemitism is enforcement at scale. CyberWell’s work has already helped drive policy changes at major platforms, but comment sections, rapidly evolving coded language, and engagement algorithms continue to pose significant challenges.

Recent wildfires in Norway, France, and Spain have become the latest excuse to spread antisemitic conspiracy theories online.
“The same scapegoating stories, once popular in Nazi propaganda during the Third Reich, now trend on every major social media platform after a crisis,” said CyberWell CEO and Founder Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor.
@jerusalem_post reports on CyberWell’s findings and why platforms need to recognize these recurring narratives before they spread.

CyberWell alerted social media platforms to an antisemitic trend using Tengu imagery from Japanese folklore to demonize Jews.
“The Holocaust did not begin with mass murder, but with years of propaganda, discrimination and systematic state-sponsored dehumanization of Jews. The increasingly open anti-Jewish vitriol that CyberWell has tracked online has similarly desensitized many of our most open societies to antisemitism,” said CyberWell CEO & Founder Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor.

The election date that the coalition is seeking to set: October 27, the original date.
The first elections to be held on schedule in 38 years, and the first government to serve its full term in 53 years.
Today, on the @UN International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we remember the victims and survivors of the horrific sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 and in its aftermath.
We stand with those who endured these crimes and with those who continue to carry their physical and emotional scars.
These crimes must never be denied, minimized, or forgotten.
Speaking with @kilmeade 720amET this morning on @foxandfriends about the 60-day period for negotiations on a final nuclear deal with Iran is now underway, following comments from Iran’s supreme leader indicating a split with other leaders on the agreement. @FoxNews

Trump is now committing to the IRGC that Israel will not attack in Lebanon.
Israel committed to no such thing and will absolutely retaliate to any attack from Lebanese territory including a drone fired at Israel a minute and a half ago.
When that happens, when Israel defies Trump and attacks in Beirut, Trump will ultimately turn on Israel and let’s be honest, the only thing standing in the way of America and Israel totally breaking up is Trump.
The anti Israel sentiment in the US is totally mainstream and widespread. Without the diplomatic channels, America turns on Israel.
If things play out as they look like they will, this might very well become the beginning of the end of the US/Israel relationship.
I hope I’m wrong but this recent Trump tweet is a very very bad sign.
It’s not a question of if. It’s a question of when the US and Israel break up.
In the short term, that’s scary for Israel being that every iron dome missile costs north of $100k. It’s also very damaging to the US because Israeli tech and intelligence are very important to the US.
Long term though, it’s a positive thing. This relationship is an unhealthy one and it’s the equivalent of an abusive relationship.
Sometimes the spouse is all nice (Trump) and sometimes they beat the hell out of their partner (Obama/Biden).
Right now the husband (Trump) is being all nice to the wife (Israel), but there is only one way to handle an abusive relationship and that is to get the hell out.
Ultimately Israel needs total independence including military independence and economic independence so this break up long term is a very good thing.
I have no doubt it’ll happen and I think it’ll happen soon.
Thoughts?
Is this the moment where Bibi stands up to trump marking it the beginning of the end of a long term friendship?
If Trump demands Israel hold its fire, then I sure hope Bibi says no, even if that means creating tension.
There’s a limit to what Israel can endure.
BREAKING:
IDF issues a statement:
“The Iranians made a grave mistake when they chose terrorism once again.
The regime is trying to create a new equation by carrying out direct fire into our territory in response to IDF strikes in Dahieh. We will not allow this.
We struck in Dahieh following Hezbollah’s incessant firing toward communities in the north. The IDF will continue to operate across all of Lebanon and will deepen the damage to the Hezbollah terrorist organization.
We will not allow continued fire toward the citizens of the State of Israel.
In accordance with the situation assessment and in light of the security situation, we have announced a change in the Home Front Command guidelines.
We are prepared for the possibility of additional fire toward us. Our defense systems are excellent, but the defense is not hermetic.
Continue to act responsibly and with composure, as you have done so far. We are already experienced. We are taking all the necessary steps to ensure your security.
The IDF is prepared and ready”
Let us remember:
1. No one forced Hamas to carry out a barbaric massacre of Israeli civilians on October 7.
2. No one forced Hezbollah to join Hamas on October 8, or to join Iran in Operation Epic Fury.
3. No one forced Iran to attack Israel with ballistic missiles in response to the elimination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Israel has a clear duty to respond forcefully to any attack on its sovereign territory, whether from Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, or any other front.
The US and Israel need to obliterate the IRGC right now with no mercy and no restraints. Get Iranian citizens out of harm’s way and flatten Tehran totally and completely.
Israel should take out every IRGC official with no exceptions and Trump should cancel the talks permanently.
Hezbollah planned to cause a national disaster in Lebanon in order to halt the IDF’s advance north of the Litani River.
In a strike carried out near the Qaraoun Lake Dam, the IDF thwarted a Hezbollah plot to blow up the dam, which is a strategic national infrastructure asset that supplies electricity and water to large parts of Lebanon.
The collapse of the dam could have unleashed a massive flood wave, causing widespread flooding, severe damage to critical infrastructure, destruction of property, and endangering the lives of countless civilians (many of them Shiites who support Hezbollah...).
Why? To make crossing the Litani River impossible, prevent IDF forces from crossing it, and inflict damage on troops and equipment operating in the area on their way to seize the Beaufort Castle sector and the Ali al-Taher Ridge—strategic positions of significant operational importance.
For Hezbollah, the heavy price that could have been paid by Lebanese civilians and the country's national infrastructure was simply not a consideration. Full report here: https://t.co/IHTex55csy
