Anti-Semitism on the rise, Jews blamed for coronavirus
2020-03-31
From a comment posted this morning by g(r)om.
[Ynet] Jewish World - Anti-Semitism on the rise, Jews blamed for coronavirus.

The Foreign Ministry has reached out to social media platforms requesting they monitor and bloc such content but some have politely declined to act citing a manpower shortage due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In a document prepared by the ministry, malicious conspiracy theories, some contradictory, are being spread blaming Israel and Jews for the spread of the virus in order to thin out the world population and profit from a vaccination.

These posts are most common in the U.S., France, and Germany where anti-Semitism has been on the rise, but are seen in the Arab and Muslim world as well.

The ministry is monitoring these posts and has instructed embassies to urge their host government to act in order to remove them from social media and bloc the disseminators of such content.

Ran Yaakoby, who heads the Department for Combating Antisemitism said social platforms are being asked to act. Some have promised to investigate and bloc these posts but some have politely declined, claiming they are swamped by coronavirus content and do not have the manpower to deal with this problem.

#2  The ultra-Orthodox, a small minority of Jews in America, a larger minority in Israel, are harming themselves, not spreading it to others. Darwin being implacable, these family gatherings — grandparents, their five kids with spouses and five kids per couple — are quickly seeing the impact of their blindered view of the situation. Mr. McCoy, your Mr.Obvious is ignoring the fact that this behavior is not general among Jews.
