Online incitement trebled in 2021, and turned to unprecedented offline violence against Palestinians across Israeli cities last May
Incitement against Palestinians and Arabs on Israeli social media trebled in 2021, while hate speech increased by 8 percent, Haifa-based 7amleh – the Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media says in its latest report., 7amleh monitored 620,000 online conversations, and found 46,000 more posts promoting hate speech and violence compared with 2020. Palestinian politicians in Israel came particularly under fire, according to the report.
“In terms of law enforcement, the Israeli [authorities] are not dealing with this,” 7amleh’s director Nadim Nashif told TRT World. “It is very one-sided and focused on the Palestinian narrative.” Nashif explains that while as many as 55 Arabic names of Palestinian groups, individuals and organisations are flagged and automatically removed from social media platforms, only one name – that of the leader of the Jewish supremacist Lehava movement – gets the same treatment in the Hebrew language.
