  • The Digital Experience of Jewish Lawmakers
    Online Hate Index Report: The Digital Experience of Jewish Lawmakers Sections 1 Executive Summary 4 Methodology 2 Introduction 5 Recommendations 3 Findings 6 Endnotes 7 Donor Acknowledgment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In late 2018, Pew Research Center reported that social media sites had surpassed print newspapers as a news source for Americans, when one in five U.S. adults reported that they often got news via social media.i By the following year, that 1 / 49 figure had increased to 28% and the trend is only risingii. Combine that with a deeply divided polity headed into a bitterly divisive 2020 U.S. presidential election season and it becomes crucial to understand the information that Americans are exposed to online about political candidates and the topics they are discussing. It is equally important to explore how online discourse might be used to intentionally distort information and create and exploit misgivings about particular identity groups based on religion, race or other characteristics. In this report, we are bringing together the topic of online attempts to sow divisiveness and misinformation around elections on the one hand, and antisemitism on the other, in order to take a look at the type of antisemitic tropes and misinformation used to attack incumbent Jewish members of the U.S Congress who are running for re-election. This analysis was aided by the Online Hate Index (OHI), a tool currently in development within the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Center for Technology and Society (CTS) that is being designed to automate the process of detecting hate speech on online platforms. Applied to Twitter in this case study, OHI provided a score for each tweet which denote the confidence (in percentage terms) in classifying the subject tweet as antisemitic.

Hashim In January 2013, the French government of President Francois Hollande found itself involved in an increasingly complicated war against Islamist militants and Tuareg separatists in the remote and dusty country of Mali, a former French colonial possession and one of the poorest countries on the African continent. This intervention – codenamed Operation Serval – came at the culmination of a long chain of events in that hapless country whose current situation is characterized by political in- stability, economic stagnation and longstanding Tuareg separatist sentiment in the north and Islam- ist extremist infiltration via porous and poorly-guarded borders.

She tweeted, “Gotta say some opponents of #M103 are making a pretty compelling case for why a committee study of Islamophobia might be a good idea.” As a graduate student who studies what hashtags might reveal about responses to Islam and society, this tweet piqued my interest. Twitter has quickly become a primary source for news, commentary, and political expression in Canada’s public sphere, and in turn, hashtags have become powerful communicative tools for facilitating such expression, providing a helpful window into understanding public sentiment. #M103, in this case, offers a window into understanding how some Canadians are framing the issue of hate speech and Islamophobia. Parliamentary motion M-103 is the inspiration for the hashtag.
