The rise of AI is both supercharging online antisemitism and empowering the fight against it.
As CyberWell Founder & CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor explains, bad actors are using AI to make hateful content more engaging than ever — but it could also be the tool that helps us combat this hate at scale.

Misuse of Holocaust Memory Online in the Post-Gaza War Era - CyberWell
As the October 2025 Gaza-Israel war paused with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, a disturbing trend emerged online. Gazan influencers began posting selfies, videos, and donation links with captions like “I’m a Holocaust survivor” or “Gaza Holocaust survivor.” These posts falsely accuse Israel of committing a Holocaust, which refers to a singular, unparalleled event – equating the Holocaust with the Gaza conflict.

After October 7th, Jew-hatred fundamentally shifted.
In the 11 months after the massacre, CyberWell found a dramatic increase in social media content calling for or justifying anti-Jewish violence.

This is a historic inflection point that requires clarity and action. We must stand up to the hatred that inspired and seeks to justify October 7th.
