NEW YORK CITY – The Combat Antisemitism Movement said its Antisemitism Research Center analyzed 100 English-language posts on X that contained the word โJewโ during a random ten-minute window on Sept. 6. It found 82 percent were offensive toward Jews.
CAM said the classification used clear indicators of antisemitism, including use of the term as a slur, traditional stereotypes about greed or disloyalty, conspiracy claims of Jewish control of finance or media, and explicit calls for harm or discrimination.
The group warned that the result, while from a narrow sample, illustrates broader moderation failures on a platform that prioritizes virality and controversy. CAM urged improved AI detection and consistent enforcement to protect targeted communities.
The findings come as the Anti-Defamation League reported a torrent of conspiratorial posts after the high-profile killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, saying it had tracked more than 10,000 posts on X that included the phrase โIsrael killed Charlie Kirk.โ ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt said antisemitic conspiracy theories have exploded online in the wake of the murder.
Platform safety experts and journalists have also flagged problems with Xโs moderation. Reuters recently reported instances in which X and some of its services produced or amplified antisemitic content, prompting platform adjustments and public criticism from civil society groups.
Advocacy and communal groups point to broader trends documented elsewhere. Bโnai Brith Canada and its Annual Audit have recorded substantial rises in antisemitic incidents and online harassment in recent years, adding that social-media amplification is a key driver of real-world risk.
For pro-Israel and Jewish communities, the CAM snapshot is a stark reminder that online hate can metastasize quickly and harm safety, civic participation, and communal life. Community leaders called for urgent action from platforms, lawmakers, and law enforcement to stem the flow of hateful content.
CAM recommended immediate steps, including better AI filters tuned to antisemitic tropes, faster human review of flagged content, clearer enforcement policies, and more transparency about moderation outcomes. The group said such measures must balance free expression with community protection.
The ADL and other watchdogs urged users and institutions to document threats and to press platforms for faster removals and more robust counter-speech measures. They also urged governments to examine whether existing laws and enforcement resources are adequate to address coordinated online hate that spills into real-world threats.
