FIGHTING ONLINE ANTISEMITISM

Who we are

FOA is the front line against online antisemitism, using a holistic approach that combines antisemitic content monitoring and removal, educational programming, international cooperation, advocacy, and cutting-edge technology. As an Israeli-based NGO, we train volunteers, monitor social media, and raise awareness about the harm caused by antisemitism and online hate.

 

Since 2020, our global team of volunteers has acted swiftly to remove tens of thousands of antisemitic content (according to the IHRA working definition of antisemitism) from major social networks, stopping the spread of violent, false, and hateful messages.

Goals

1
Monitoring manifestations of antisemitism and hatred in the online space in accordance with the International Alliance for the Preservation of the Holocaust's working definition of 'antisemitism' (IHRA).
2
Raising awareness of the phenomenon of cyberhate and promoting pluralistic discourses (especially among youngers) through educational workshops.
3
Maintaining a database of manifestations of online antisemitism. Such data is utilized in periodical reports examining contemporary trends pertaining to online antisemitism on social media and removal rates of antisemitic content across various platforms.
4
Promoting cooperation between Governmental organizations, national and international Non-Governmental Organizations, civic society, and social media platforms. Such cooperation is necessary to combat cyberhate in general, and antisemitism in particular.
