Meta's Inaction on Antisemitism Is Unacceptable

by Sufian M′Barki

Antisemitic comments targeted at Jewish content creator and activist on Instagram

Thread can be found here.

In yet another disgusting, blatant display of antisemitism, online mobsters write rancid comments targeted at Shai Albrecht - a Jewish Hasbara activist, for being Jewish and supporting Israel.

Cases like these are far from rare. And Meta - which is the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc., is doing diddly-squat to address this deplorable behavior.

"Anti-Zionism" Is Antisemitism

Let me make it crystal clear. If you think "being anti-Israel/anti-Zionist is not the same as being an antisemite," you are being a complete tool that's Distinction Without a Difference logical fallacy:

  1. Major Premise: Israel (A) is the Jewish State (B), liberated after millenia of being enslaved.
  2. Minor Premise: You claim to be "anti-Israel (A)."
  3. Conclusion: Therefore, you are anti-Jewish State (B).

And now for one more syllogism:

  1. Major Premise: Targeted harrassment towards Jews, their culture and religion, their language, and their ancestral homeland, is antisemitism.
  2. Minor Premise: You are anti-Jewish State.
  3. Conclusion: You are an antisemite.

If you do happen to be a propally death cultist who has come across my posts and you want to save your brain before its neurons expire completely, do feel free to peruse my Critical Thinking Fundamentals here on The Wasp Alloy.

Given that this "anti-Zionist" rhetoric (which is just antisemitism's brand new costume for the twenty-first century) clearly violates Meta's Community Guidelines regarding hate speech and incitement to violence and hatred, why exactly is no action taken whatsoever?

Meta's Systematic Neglect

Reporting these comments achieves nothing. I have tried it multiple times, and after each attempt, I am told by Instagram's automated AI content review bollocks that no violations have been detected.

Telling a Jewish person, "I hope you get killed dirty Jew, never trust a Jew" is not considered a violation according to Meta's Content Review system.

This is why I have taken this a step further, and have begun creating legal cases. A platform that doesn't care about antisemitism on its posts certainly does care about all the precious money it would lose should it ignore genuine legal warnings.

And it works.

YouTube Legal Support Team took down a blatantly antisemitic video after I initiated a legal case.

Companies are not monopolies, and Meta is most certainly next on my radar. Unacceptable does not even begin to describe how vile it is to be told by non-thinking robot junk, "Erm actually, this post telling a Jewish individual that they are Asmodeus and hoping they die, is not actually antisemitism, but simply political discourse and disagreement over Israel."

Get a load of this.

As long as people like me exist, and as long as Instagram and Facebook keep housing violent antisemitic content and protecting the users posting it, no organization can afford standing by idly while facing our legal threats. Jews are not alone.
