ADL Debunk: Myths and False Narratives About the Israel-Hamas War

In the wake of Hamas’ deadly invasion of Israel on October 7, a slew of misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories about the ongoing conflict are percolating on social media.

Our ADL Center on Extremism is debunking some of the most heinous, false and misleading narratives, including:

- Demonstrators chanted “we want Jewish genocide” at UPenn.
- Israel will attack Palestine to expedite The Great Replacement.
- New York City faced credible threats of terrorism on “Friday of Al-Aqsa Flood.”
- Armed terrorists in the U.S. are disguising themselves as Jews.
To counter misleading rumors and anti-Israel and antisemitic untruths that are spreading online,

Antisemitism Around the Globe: ADL and the rest of the J7 — seven of the largest Jewish communities in the Diaspora — appreciate the strong support of our governments and our law enforcement agencies for our Jewish communities, both in public statements and in actions to guarantee our security. Regrettably, our communities are seeing a shocking increase in antisemitic incidents, which foreshadows a troubling period ahead.

Antisemitism + Political Violence: Highly antisemitic Americans are three times more likely to support violence to achieve certain political goals than the general population. This is the main finding of a new report from the ADL Center for Antisemitism Research and the University of Chicago Project on Security and Threats. It identifies a dangerous nexus between the increase in antisemitism and the deep distrust of longstanding democratic norms, institutions and processes. This is not limited to one party or ideology — we found support for political violence both on the far left and the extreme right.

“They are in the house”: During an ADL crisis webinar last week, we heard heartbreaking insights from an Israeli who found out in real time as his family members were taken hostage by Hamas. “There are terrorists outside the house,” then “They are in the house.” These are the last two messages he got from his relatives. The next he saw of them was their presence on a Hamas propaganda video.

We applaud @POTUS’s extraordinary show of support for Israel & powerful re-affirmation of the US-Israel alliance. This visit & the US ironclad commitment to Israel’s security convey a strong message whereby the int’l community as a whole must stand on the right side of morality.

Throwing Molotov cocktails at a synagogue in #Germany because you’re angry about Gaza is straight-up antisemitism. Thank you, @Bundeskanzler, for the strong condemnation and promise of increased protection for the Jewish community.

We extend our support and solidarity with @SAJBD and the Jewish community of South Africa, who feel betrayed by the callously anti-Israel expressions of their government and their failure to support and protect South Africa’s Jewish citizens.
