  • Israel on Wednesday presented tech giants Facebook, Google, TikTok and Twitter with proposals to beef up the fight against anti-Semitism on social media. "Anti-Semitism in all its forms is running rampant... under the auspices of unregulated social media networks," Minister of Diaspora Affairs Omer Yankelevich said. The strategy will help companies "pursue a clearer and more aggressive policy against anti-Semitism," Yankelevich told a parliamentary meeting, attended by representatives of the media platforms via videoconference. "Freedom of expression must not protect violent incitement and anti-Semitism," she added. Israel argued that social media accounts of those convicted of anti-Semitic speech should be removed. "If a court has ruled that a person is anti-Semitic, there is no reason for social media to provide them with a platform to spread their hatred," Yankelevich said. Israel proposed that companies adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism, as a "certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews". The IHRA definition states that "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination" by, for example, "claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour" is a form of anti-Semitism. "This is not to limit legitimate criticism against Israel," the report said, but to stop "hate speech against Jews or the demonisation of the State of Israel." The report also calls for the systematic reporting of anti-Semitic content, and specifically highlights Twitter posts by Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whose country is Israel's arch-enemy. "It is important to continue to take these steps to show progress on these very important issues," said Jordana Cutler, a Facebook representative in Israel, welcoming the ministerial report during the meeting. Ronan Costello, a Twitter official for public policy, said that no "leaders are exempt from our policies", and that the platform would "enforce our policies when there have been violations." "This is a sensitive subject," said Costello, saying his platform was "receptive to constructive comments from partners". mib-alv-cgo/gl/pjm/dwo
