1,800% surge in 'kill Jews' Google searches globally

[Beastly Boy]

A recent study has uncovered an 1800% increase in global Google searches for the term "kill Jews," highlighting a severe and growing trend in antisemitic sentiments.

This alarming statistic is part of a broader analysis conducted by the digital marketing platform Semrush and reported by the MID EAST JOURNAL.

The study also revealed significant increases in other disturbing queries. Searches for "Hitler was right" rose by 122%, and terms associated with antisemitic rhetoric, such as “intifada revolution,” “From the river to the sea,” and “Glory to our martyrs,” saw search frequencies skyrocketing over 10,000%.

1. Shocked! I am shocked! Flabbergasted!

Oh wait, no I am not.

Same shit, different century.

[yardwork]

2. The best antisemitic propaganda Putin's money can buy.

Having its desired effect.

[Behind the Aegis]

10. Russia has a LOOOOOOOOOONG history of anti-Semitic propaganda.

Of course, there are the actions, including everything from "The Protocols of Zion" to "Zionism is Racism/White Supremacy" (few realize that originated from Russian propaganda), not to mention all the support to various anti-Semitic groups bent on destroying Israel and Jews.

[yardwork]

12. And, for instance, the constant reminders that Zelensky is Jewish.

"Ukrainians are really Nazis" (a variation of the "Israelis commit genocide" ) propaganda, etc.

3. Not surprised.

4. This is around the world. I can't imagine Muslim countries are in a reasonable mood about what is happening in

Gaza. I think there is a lot of bad thoughts flowing to both Palestinians and Jewish communities right now. It’s all so terrible and we have a new generation of angry youth vowing revenge. A never ending loop of hate.

[Danmel]

5. I can't imagine Israelis are happy about gang rape and mutilation

15. Why I stated this is a loop of hate with a new generation of angry youth on both sides wanting revenge.

[Cha]

28. No and Neither are

Many of us. We don’t Forget what HAMAS is and that they Must Be Eliminated By Any Means Necessary.

[Beastly Boy]

6. I doubt the world suddenly became antisemitic because of what is happening in Gaza.

Moe likely antisemites became more open and vocal in professing their antisemitism.

[ShazzieB]

7. Hard agree.

Also, people who harbor antisemitism but don't usually make much noise about it are very quick to:

1. Put the harshest interpretation possible on Israel's actions,
and
2. Make lots of noise about anything Israel does that they don't like.

8. I wonder how many of those searches

were pared with the words "best way to..."

[ProfessorGAC]

9. A Small Point

Given the aversion to math (or fear of) among so much of the population, I think this would be better reported as "18 times the antisemitic statements".
I don't think 1,800% means much to too great a number of people.

[Silent3]

16. While this probably means close to "18 times the antisemitic statements"...

...regardless of how you break it down, it would be good to know how much of this activity includes people interested in fighting antisemitism, and thus making efforts to keep track of it, not to express it or inspire it. The search terms needed would be similar independent of the motivation.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Fair Point

The other part of their analysis seems more specific.

[chowder66]

11. 1,800% surge of mental idiots.

[Beastly Boy]

14. So how much did he sow before he was born?

You do know that rampant antisemitism did not start in the 21th century, don't you?

[mcar]

18. Are you serious with this?

Netanyahu is corrupt, so Jews deserve to be murdered? Really?

Hey, what about Hamas? Do they sow what they reap? Y'know, beheading babies, gang raping, mutilating and murdering girls? That Hamas?

[dembotoz]

22. vs 20000 dead?????? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[mcar]

23. Not answering the question? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[AZLD4Candidate]

24. Don't expect an answer. As the title of the book says, people love dead Jews

[dembotoz]

25. while you can not judge a book by its cover

trump sure cast an evil shadow over our reputation


guess nutty yahoo does not reflect the public image of the country????

get rid of your war criminal then perhaps we can talk

[mcar]

27. Get rid of your filthy terrorist murderers and rapists

Then perhaps we can talk.

[Cha]

30. That's ALL ON The Sadistic Butchers of HAMAS.

We wouldn't be haing this Conversation IF HAMAS had Not gone to the Music Peace Festival in Israel and Gang Raped, Mutilated, and Bucherd Women.. and Slaughtered Children and Men.

Talk to HAMAS.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

31. Bibi needs to go

Most or a very large percentage of American Jews want Bibi to go. The stunt with trying to gut the Israeli judicial system and then ignoring Hamas is enough for me.

[EllieBC]

20. Oh so was there no antisemitism before him?

There was plenty. And no it doesn’t always come from right wingers.

[mcar]

17. This is, obviously, Israel's fault

[DemocraticPatriot]

21. SICK... and SAD

A portion of these searches are likely being conducted by Jews themselves and those who are concerned about them--- attempting to ascertain the current threat level--- (very sad in itself, that they feel it necessary to do this!)

but I suspect that the vast majority of such searches are NOT such, and that is deplorable.


Whatever Israel may or may not be doing, Jews everywhere else bear no responsibility for it, and should not be attacked for it---
any more than blacks worldwide bore any responsibility for the actions of the African dictator Idi Amin, or for atrocities committed in wars in Africa....

But "haters gotta hate"...

Yes, the exponential increase in such searches is very disturbing

26. FFS!!!

29. I Love 💕 Jewish People..I

Hope there’s a Surge in Fighting Anti Semitism 🇮🇱💙🌊🕊️🕯️🌈
