General Trends
During September 2025, FOA’s Monitoring Team observed a significant rise in antisemitic material and calls to violence online. This surge was directly linked to the assassination of the well-known Christian political activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot during an event at Utah University. Charlie was widely popular among young Americans, and the fact that his assassination was virtually livestreamed worldwide made the event even more shocking. Although Charlie had consistently expressed strong support for Israel, antisemitic slurs began to circulate almost immediately after the attack. #MossadDidIt was among the first, but many others quickly followed. The incident immediately triggered a wave of antisemitic conspiracy theories, spreading rapidly across multiple platforms. This demonstrates how high-profile acts of violence can catalyze spikes in violent speech online, where old antisemitic tropes are quickly recycled and amplified in the aftermath of major events.

On September 21, 2025, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Portugal formally recognized the State of Palestine, followed by France on September 22 during the UN summit. Germany and Italy, however, refused recognition, stating there was no Palestinian state at the moment. At the same time, the ‘Global Sumud Flotilla’ was blocked from reaching Gaza. These developments triggered a wave of violent riots, mass protests, and strikes across Italy, with threats to paralyze the country unless Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni changed her stance. FOA’s monitoring team observed a sharp rise in violent online content originating from Italy during this period.

August 2025
General Trends
During August 2025, FOA’s monitoring team observed a significant rise in antisemitic content online connected to the 9/11 attacks, primarily centered on antisemitic conspiracy theories related to the event. While such narratives appear throughout the year, the monitoring data shows a sharp increase in activity during the last 10 days of August. These conspiracy-driven posts often recycle long-standing antisemitic tropes, blaming Jews or Israel for the attacks, and gain renewed visibility as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches. The most common hashtag appearing alongside this content was #jewsdid911, which continues to be a focal point for spreading these conspiracies. This recurring spike highlights how antisemitic actors exploit historical events to spread hate and reinforce harmful narratives.

After French President Emmanuel Macron announced on July 25, 2025, that France would recognize a Palestinian state, FOA’s monitoring team saw a rise in antisemitic conspiracy content online during August. Many posts falsely claimed that Jews are planning attacks in Europe as a result of Macron’s decision and in order to pressure him to change his mind. As the anniversary of 9/11 approached, these conspiracies mixed with older antisemitic claims that resurface every year around this time. We also noticed frequent use of the term “judeoislamist”, a made-up word meant to link Jews with Islamist extremists. These examples show how antisemites use both political events and historic tragedies to spread hate and fear.
