FIGHTING ONLINE ANTISEMITISM

Who we are

Fighting Online Antisemitism (FOA) is an Israeli-based NGO dedicated to combating antisemitism through volunteer training, reporting antisemitic content on social media, and raising awareness of the phenomena of cyberhate.

 

Established in 2020, FOA has trained over 300 international volunteers who regularly monitor antisemitic content in multiple languages and across ten leading social media networks.
