A new study by the Institute for Religious Freedom and Security in Europe (IFFCE) reveals that since the onset of the corona crisis there has been a dramatic increase in antisemitic conspiracies posted on social media.
Among other things, the antisemitic attack includes tens of thousands of labels blaming the "Jewish elite, including the directors of the modern and Pfizer vaccine companies, for spreading the virus and taking over the lives of European citizens through it.
At a conference of the Institute for Freedom of Religion and Security in Europe held this week in Brussels, a biennial report was unveiled indicating that since the rise of the corona virus, a new wave of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia has erupted on social media. And together they launched an aggressive campaign on social media called The New World Order that presents antisemitic narratives that present Jews as an elite taking over the world through the Corona virus.
On the Instagram network, for example, there were about 14,000 antisemitic tags called #jewwororder that lead to a detailed explanation of the Jewish 'elite' takeover of the world through the corona crisis.
Similarly, about 45,000 posts were found with the hashtags that included the phrase "New World Order" in English, French, Spanish and German until July 2021. In some tweets and posts you can see the CEOs of Pfizer and Moderna, marked as a Jewish elite with a Star of David badge, Which aims to take over the world through vaccines.

The report also directly criticizes the conduct of social networking leaders such as Facebook and Twitter, who were not properly prepared for the wave of online racism, and despite some efforts to reduce online harm, vaccine opponents have been able to recruit many people on social media. Unprecedented.
The connection between vaccine opponents and antisemitic organizations is not only preserved in cyberspace and antisemitic revelations have become a matter of routine in many of the compliments against vaccines across Europe.
In Paris, protesters compared the vaccination program to the Holocaust and dozens walked around with yellow badges and antisemitic signs.
Last September at a demonstration against vaccines by Corona deniers and conspiracy supporters held in the city of Ork in the Netherlands, some of the protesters disguised themselves as Nazis and led people in striped costumes with yellow badges through the city with fake weapons.

Along with these reports, security officials in Germany reported that there had been an increase in warnings related to fears of Jews being attacked and expressions of hatred on social media.
"The road from word to deed is getting shorter and the risk of falling victim to a deadly physical attack, through messages and hate speech, has increased during the Corona plague," said Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the European Rabbinical Conference and chief rabbi in Moscow.
"Social network operators and instant messaging applications still do too little to locate and delete 'Pike News' and hate speech on their networks. Moreover, they offer a broad platform for publishing hate speech and provide fertile ground for conspiracy theorists, Islamophobes and anti-Islamists.

"It is sad that of all the people, the Jewish entrepreneur and founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is blind to history and cannot see where the same manifestations of hatred that are spread on the Internet can lead. "The 'Internet Search Law' should be expanded in Europe and users should be required to give their real names in order to prevent this digital acceleration of fire," Rabbi Goldschmidt added.
