6 Ways to Get Better about Antisemitic Election Misinformation Next Time

In the just-concluded elections, there was a flood of false and misleading narratives across social media that rehashed antisemitic tropes and pushed anti-immigrant misinformation.

ADL researchers evaluated the four key platforms where hateful election misinformation was found (X, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube). We found that several have weakened their rules against disseminating election misinformation and that some platforms have actually rolled back enforcement.

It needs to get better. ADL’s new report provides

six detailed recommendations for the social media platforms, including reinstating prior policies that targeted false claims, being more responsive to user reporting from people like you who spot problematic posts, and applying disinformation rules year-round so things don’t metastasize between elections.

VIEW: “Antisemitic Hurricane”: For a compelling conversation about this year of unprecedented antisemitism since the Israel-Hamas War, watch ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in conversation with podcast host Eylon Levy on a just-released episode of “Israel State of a Nation.” As Jonathan digs into the crisis, he notes that “Here in America, in 2019, 2021, 2022, we had hit new highs with the number of acts of harassment, vandalism, and violence directed towards Jews. But 10/7 was a trigger point, and things have exploded since then.”

Arresting an Alarming Extremist: In the first edition of the new weekly extremely newsletter from the ADL Center on Extremism, we uplift a fascinating and alarming incident.


On November 5, 2024, 28-year-old Austin Martin Olson, of Westland, Michigan, was arrested after he allegedly walked into the U.S. Capitol with a flare gun, torch lighter, bottles of fuel and a letter he said he intended to “deliver to Congress.” Olson was apprehended while trying to go through the visitor center screening process, after Capitol Police noticed he smelled like fuel and spotted suspicious items in the X-ray machine. On X, Olson has expressed a range of far-right tropes and antisemitic views, railing against American capitalism and celebrating the racist and antisemitic Great Replacement conspiracy theory, which argues that Jews are trying to “replace”
white Americans with nonwhite citizens.

Anti-Zionist Samidoun on Campus: Samidoun, a group sanctioned by the U.S. in October 2024 for its role as a “sham charity” operating as a fundraising arm of the U.S. government-designated terror organization the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), has long played a role in the anti-Israel movement on U.S. campuses. The group has been featured as a “pro-Palestinian” resource for years on some university or student websites, and since the Hamas-led terror attack in Israel, in which the PFLP took part, Samidoun has co-sponsored protests and events across the U.S.

Social Spotlights

Hundreds of protesters led by the radical anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime (WOL) showed up at the @newscorp building in midtown Manhattan to denounce both candidates in the #2024Election. Protestors can be seen waiving Hezbollah flags, wearing Hamas headbands, and burning an Israeli flag. Newsflash: Showing outright support for terror is neither civil nor democratic. But it is disgraceful.

Following an antisemitic incident last week in an Oakland cafe, hardened antisemite Mohammed El-Kurd predictably chimed in with his characteristic toxicity. El-Kurd likened the central symbol of Judaism and the Jewish people to a swastika. He referred to wearing the Star of David as a “provocation.” It’s hateful, but it’s par for the course for him.

Check out our backgrounder and you’ll see why El-Kurd’s prejudice is predictable and pathetic.
