Article
Image: Collage of posts on X encouraging users to join UpScrolled to spite the Jews.
“F--- the jews! Find me on UpScrolled,” proclaimed one antisemitic influencer last month to her 1.3 million followers on X. UpScrolled, a social media platform launched in June 2025 in response to purported suppression of speech on other platforms, attracted just 20,000 users in its first two months, growing to 150,000 by January 2026.

Pro-Hamas Chant at Queens Synagogue Protest Signals Further Normalization of Terror Rhetoric

Article
Protesters organized by Pal-Awda participate in a January 8, 2026, protest outside Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills in Queens, New York
The explicit celebration of Hamas at a protest targeting a Queens synagogue last week serves as a stark reminder of a disturbing new reality: Pro-terror expressions are becoming openly normalized within the U.S. anti-Israel movement. The January 8 demonstration outside of Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills in Queens, New York, was ostensibly a protest of an Israeli real estate event taking place inside the synagogue.

Helene and Joseph Sherwood Prize for Combating Hate

Article

Months before Desmond Holly opened fire at a Colorado high school, he developed a deep fascination with mass shooters. Online, he expressed neo-Nazi views and was active on a violent gore site.
