Reddit flooded with antisemitic conspiracy theories about attacks on Jews in US — despite hate speech ban: ADL report

Reddit is rife with antisemitic conspiracy theories about recent attacks on Jewish people in the US – despite the site’s pledge to crack down on hate speech, the Anti-Defamation League said Friday.

Many conversations on the popular platform about antisemitic attacks have been dominated by the term “false flag,” a phrase used to imply that the violence was staged by the Israeli government to shift public opinion in favor of Israel and Jewish people, an analysis by the ADL’s Center for Technology and Society, obtained exclusively by The Post found.

The conspiratorial phrase was the second-most popular term in subreddits about the Boulder, Colo. firebombing in early June that injured 15 people marching to support Israeli hostages, according to the analysis.
