Really terrifying how in the aftermath of a mass stabbing in Australia, an online mob named a Jew as the perpetrator, and a mainstream news source spread this lie as fact. This was not a case of “mistaken identity,” it was a deliberate attempt to ruin and endanger the life of an innocent person and endanger Jews in general. #Antisemitism#Australia
Here is a detailed account of the deliberate spreading of disinformation to blame the massacre on a Jew. The whole thing is horrific and the ease with which the disinformation spread shows how eager so many people are to act out their antisemitic fantasies of scapegoating Jews for anything and everything bad. #Antisemitism#SocialMedia#Australia
