Antisemitism on the Internet - an overview

INACH Booklet, OSCE-Conference in Berlin, 28.-29.04.2004

Antisemitism is on the rise worldwide. This also goes for the Internet. In fact, Internet is more and more being used as a tool to disseminate hate and recruit followers. An increasing number of young people from very different backgrounds are attracted to extremist views. Right now antisemitism and Holocaust denial make up a large part of all the online hate, a part which is rapidly growing.

In this booklet, which was specially compiled for the OSCE Conference on Antisemitism in Berlin on 28 and 29 April 2004, you will find an overview of contemporary antisemitism and Holocaust denial on the Internet. This overview is not complete but it will give the reader an idea of the scope of the problem and the methods and rhetoric that are being used by on-line antisemites and hate-mongers. It gives examples of 'old' and 'new' antisemitism.
