Modern anti-Semitism on the telegram network:
A few months ago, a neo-Nazi channel called White American National Socialism was set up on the telegram network.
The channel has about 5,000 followers and contains sharp and distinct Nazi content.
In fact, it is an expression of the old and familiar anti-Semitism in a new and advanced platform.
The channel's narrative supports the call for genocide and the murder of Jews, including Christmas wishes for the new civil year with pictures of Hitler, as well as an explicit call for the murder of Jews.

Another outrageous video from the same creative house depicts the "Jews' control of German banks" allegedly in the 1930s.
Against the backdrop of the rise of the new channel, the online activism arm of the Abba Even Institute for Diplomacy, Act-Il, recruited thousands of its activists a few weeks ago with the aim of contacting the Telegram network and officially downloading the channel.
This operation was temporarily successful when the channel was removed for only a day - but then returned to operation again.
Following the move, however, there was an escalation - the directors of the neo-Nazi channel set Act-Il as their target, after realizing that he was responsible for the temporary blockade of the channel.
They called on his friends to act with the aim of attacking and downloading the app.

Tom Berman, director of ACT-IL at the Abba Even Institute for Diplomacy, told Israel Today: "After only our partial success - we have seen that his attacks are directed against us directly and are targeting us. "In the coming weeks. There is a clear and immediate danger here - I am afraid that among those exposed to this content - there are those who will rehabilitate tomorrow morning and take action.
The Act-IL project is the online activism arm of the Abba Even Institute for Diplomacy at the IDC Herzliya, which includes a community of 27,000 activists and volunteers working online against anti-Semitism and for Israel from 90 countries around the world.
The project fights anti-Semitism and anti-Israel trends on the Internet and social networks, as well as in the field, such as anti-Israel curricula.
