THE WEEK'S BIG 3
An estimated 25,000 people marched across the Brooklyn Bridge and then gathered for a community rally, co-sponsored by ADL, in a show of strength and solidarity in response to the recent spate of anti-Semitic violence in the New York City metro area. The U.S. attack that killed an Iranian military leader has spawned a range of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jews “pushing” war against Iran. Music-streaming service Spotify is under fire for failing to remove anti-Semitic content, including song titles praising Hitler and demonizing Anne Frank.

On Spotify, Hate Streams Unchecked as Playlists Praise Hitler, Call to Gas Jews
“Music-streaming giant Spotify is host to dozens of user-generated playlists with titles praising Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, mocking Holocaust victims, and featuring photos of swastikas and white nationalist hate symbols… ADL said it was reaching out to Spotify ‘to press them, as we have other platforms, to enforce effective policies to combat online hate and anti-Semitism…’” The Times of Israel:
