A new study by anti-Semitism expert Monika Schwartz-Friesel has found that the amount of German anti-Semitic content on the internet has grown massively in the last 10 years, permeates mainstream society, and is increasingly extreme, the Times of Israel website reports today (July 18, 2018).
Released today, the research project studied 300,000 pieces of German internet content between 2014 and 2018, with a focus on social media.
During the first year of the study, slightly less than 23 percent of the content was classified as anti-Semitic. In 2017, this number had increased to over 30 percent.
A similar study conducted by Schwartz-Friesel in 2007 found only 7.5 percent of the internet content examined to be anti-Semitic, indicating an increase of more than 22 percent over the last decade.
