Misinformation. Disinformation. Hate. You Can Stop the Transmission!

Sponsored Advertisement COVID-19 is not the only virus infecting our communities these days. During the pandemic, there has been an increase in the spread of misinformation, disinformation, and online hate. That should concern you, because, as we see all around us, dissemination of false and hateful information cheapens public discourse, undermines democracy, and endangers the most vulnerable. Online disinformation can – and does – translate into real-world violence. Sadly, the Jewish community is frequently the target of this hatred. Many cannot spell “conspiracy theory” without including the word “Jewish.” But antisemitic disinformation is not just a problem for the Jewish community. Once they take root, antisemitic conspiracy theories serve as a chilling and reliable predictor of serious challenges ahead for the community at large. Fortunately, there is something YOU can do.
