To combat Antisemitism in Latin America we need proper data and analysis about the specifics of this phenomenon in the region. How often does it happen? What motivates it? What arguments does it use? To answer these questions, LAJC’s Web Observatory has been monitoring Antisemitic content in relevant online platforms, including social media, since 2010.
In 2021 they analyzed, with the help of social listening tools, almost seven million publications on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, and in the comments section of the most prominent digital media in the region. Among the main results, they found that although Antisemitism keeps to generally stables levels, it skyrockets when the conflict between Israel and Hamas intensifies.
