"The biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis": Jewish celebrities urge TikTok to address antisemitism as hateful content on the rise since 7 October.
A group of Jewish celebrities and influencers have met with execs of the video app TikTok to voice their concerns.
More than 30 people joined the 90-minute video call, including actors Sacha Baron Cohen, Debra Messing and Amy Schumer, at the invitation of TikTok. The group is alarmed by an apparent surge of antisemitic content and misinformation on app, following the 7 October Hamas attack.
The meeting was first reported by the New York Times.
“What is happening at TikTok is, it is creating the biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis. Shame on you,” Cohen told the execs, according to audio of the meeting. “If you think back to Oct. 7, the reason why Hamas were able to behead young people and rape women was they were fed images from when they were small kids that led them to hate.”
Messing questioned why TikTok isn’t blocking the phrase “from the river to the sea” — which many interpret as a dog whistle calling for the extermination of Israel — from the app.
In a statement in response, TikTok said: “We recognise this is an incredibly difficult and fearful time for millions of people around the world and in our TikTok community.”
The statement continued: “Our leadership has been meeting with creators, civil society, human rights experts and stakeholders to listen to their experiences and feedback on how TikTok can remain a place for community, discovery and sharing authentically.”
TikTok has bolstered its efforts to remove fake accounts and engagement. According to the company, since the 7 October attack by Hamas against Israel, the company has removed more than 24 million fake accounts globally and more than 500,000 “bot comments” on content under hashtags related to the conflict.
Elsewhere, according to the** Anti-Defamation League**, antisemitic content has increased by more than 919 per cent on X, and 28 per cent on Facebook since the 7 October attack.
Do these people realize that it is their good friends the Democrats who are pushing for that second holocaust?
100%.
TikTok is pure evil.
It's not TikTok.
It's the TikTok Generation.
For years, Mr. Cohen has been a smart alecky man of the left whose shtick has been all about portraying white Christian conservatives as evil racist imbeciles. Now all of sudden he realizes that his fellow travelers on the left are antisemites? Cry me a river, Sach.
Sacha Baron Cohen, Debra Messing and Amy Schumer have long stood with the antisemites. They’ve stood with liberal democrats for a long time.
We wouldn’t have all those Palestinian/muslim extremists if not for the democrats. They’re the ones that swooned over obama.
Conservatives have stood with the Israel and the Jewish people more than they have. They should be embarrassed.
I hope they’ll wake up.
It’s a platform. It’s does not possess a moral component.
Does he realize that?
These guys are slow learners.
Sure, and his Borat character constantly mocked and hated on Jews. Perhaps, he had no problem spreading such ideas, and was protected because he is jewish.
If he wasng Jewish himself he would have been virtue signalling for the Palestinian cause. It annoys me immensely seeing legions of left wing Jews all of a sudden realising that mass immigration of violent muslims and intersectional victim pyramids have created a toxic atmosphere of anti semitism. However, if it wasn’t affecting Jews specifically theh would still be OK with everybody else in the West dealing with these consequences.
Sacha Baron Cohen has done more to spread antisemitism than Twitter ever will.
This schmuckputz made his living portraying mooselimbs and trashing Christian society, especially Christians, and now wants the goyim to drop everything and presumably send their kids to die for his people. Even though his people, for centuries, have been hell bent on free and open immigration of mooselimb do nothings and dirtbags. “Oy! Help us!” “Oy! Where do we GO to escape persecution ?” “ I mean, it’s bad enough living with you Christians! We haveta put up with THEM?” “Welllllll… OK… so we were the ones tricking you into bringing them here! Just let us trick you into fighting them for us, huh, goy? Whadda ya say?”
Sacha, Trump warned everyone. What comments did you make then?
You sure it’s not the siggest?
Was TicToc’s reply written by an AI app?
Cohen is a stone cold hater of Christians and Christianity.
Hypocrite!
And now they come for thee....
Says actor Sacha Baron Cohen
Such a POS
Hard leftist Jewish celebrities have sewn their own destruction.
“Elsewhere, according to the** Anti-Defamation League**, antisemitic content has increased...”
I short, the ADL is looking for antisemitism everywhere except where it actually is.
