Dirty Jew.
These are just some of the names I’ve been called this past week.
As the person behind some of Israel’s official social media accounts, I’m used to reading hundreds of comments critical of Israel on a daily basis. But the amount of hateful comments, of users calling for violence and attacks on Israelis, of tweets and posts that disguise antisemitism as anti-zionism, have made my job during normal times look like paradise in comparison.
The last ten days have been overwhelming in many senses, as our Digital Diplomacy Department at the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs works around the clock to share Israel’s reality with the world. The most difficult part has not been the long hours, but the curtain that’s been lifted from my eyes as I read some of the most dangerous rhetoric online regarding Jews and Israel- the same rhetoric that was once taboo but has now become mainstream and even praiseworthy, thanks to social media, misinformation and extremists.

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is offering his full-throated support for Israel in its conflict with the militant group Hamas, calling the U.S. ally a responsible state defending itself.
In the Gaza Strip, health officials say Israel s airstrikes have killed over 200 Palestinians, including more than 60 children. Israeli authorities say Palestinian militants rocket attacks have killed 12 people, two of whom were children, in Israel. No one is glad to see the fighting. But we are already seeing some push the false narrative that this conflict is a tragic dispute between two legitimate combatants where both sides share blame that is roughly equal. What nonsense, McConnell said on the Senate floor on Tuesday.
