Announcement: Development of Policy Roadmap to Counter Online Antisemitism in 2024
Published: 8 August 2024
The Coalition to Counter Online Antisemitism (CCOA) is excited to announce the development of a Policy Roadmap titled “Mainstreaming (Digital) Human Rights in 2024.”
Antisemitism on social media, from mainstream to fringe platforms, poses a significant challenge. ISD has extensively tracked this issue, noting its deep historical roots and the way social media amplifies it. Online antisemitism often leads to offline violence against Jewish communities worldwide.
Throughout the year, discussions within the CCOA have highlighted several key insights from our research on online antisemitism:
- Addressing the mainstreaming of extremist antisemitism.
- Investigating intersections with other forms of hate.
- Expanding research to multiple languages and underrepresented regions.
- Utilizing evolving technologies for analysis.
- Conducting multi-modal studies for comprehensive understanding.
- Collaborating across sectors to strengthen civil society’s voice.
- Developing robust methodologies for platform accountability.
- Integrating findings into national strategies and educational efforts.
To further discuss unified responses to antisemitism in alignment with the EU strategy on combatting antisemitism and fostering Jewish life EU Strategy on Combatting Antisemitism and Fostering Jewish Life , the CCOA is hosting a conference titled “Mainstreaming (Digital) Human Rights: A Unified Approach to Countering Online Antisemitism Beyond 2024” from November 25-27 in Warsaw, Poland, in collaboration with the Polin Museum. This event will culminate in presenting the CCOA Policy Roadmap to the European Commission.
In the second half of 2024, the CCOA will also organize a program titled “Mainstreaming (Digital) Human Rights,” featuring expert sessions, workshops, and safe spaces for discussion, ensuring a transparent and participatory approach in building the Roadmap.
