In a troubling new study, it was found that “Israel was mentioned approximately 10 times more than any other country in tweets pertaining to human rights violations.”

This disturbing trend reveals a deep-seated double standard against the country, perpetuating a disproportionate focus in social media discussions. According to the study, Israel is mentioned 12 times more than China on issues of violating human rights; 38 times more than Iran, 55 more times than Iran and 111 more times than North Korea.

The groundbreaking study, a collaboration between the Ruderman Family Foundation and the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), reveals the chilling echo of these harmful narratives across millions of tweets and their impact on society.

The report was unveiled during today’s Knesset Caucus for Israel-American Jewry Relations. The caucus is headed by four MKs: Ohad Tal (Religious Zionism Party), MK Boaz Bismuth (Likud) , MK Orna Barbivai (Yesh Atid) and Michal Shir Segman (Yesh Atid).

The study, analyzing close to 100 million tweets from January 1, 2020, to June 30, 2022, demonstrates the shifting popularity of antisemitic and anti-Zionist narratives on Twitter, particularly in response to real-world events. “This ‘pendulum’ effect highlights how political circumstances or changes in leadership, as well as conflicts and domestic unrest, can influence which narrative is favored,” the report states.

“We have identified a clear correlation between social media discourse and its influence in the real world,” said Shira Ruderman, Executive Director of the Ruderman Family Foundation. “The fact that Israel is measured differently from other countries in the world, using a double standard, is alarming. This issue crosses political lines and worldviews and is an opportunity for elected officials, from all sides of the political spectrum, to denounce this disturbing phenomenon.”
