AI-generated antisemitic content is spreading rapidly across global social media platforms, drawing tens of millions of views while evading moderation systems that struggle to keep pace with coded hate, according to a new report.
Between January 2025 and February 2026, analysts at CyberWell, an independent Israel-based nonprofit dedicated to combating online antisemitism, identified 307 AI-generated antisemitic posts in English on five major platforms: TikTok, YouTube, X, and Meta's Facebook and Instagram. These posts accumulated more than 30 million views and over 2.8 million interactions, including likes, shares, and comments, with the majority appearing on video-based platforms TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.
CyberWell found that more than 75 percent of the posts fell into three primary narratives: depictions of Jews as greedy or money-obsessed, Holocaust-related hate speech, and event-driven violent rhetoric against Jews. The organization also noted a sharp inflection point in June 2025, which it attributed to Israel's 12-day war on Iran.
Alarmingly, more than a third of the content glorified, justified, or called for violence against Jews, and those posts accounted for more than 33 percent of total views and 41 percent of user engagement. Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor, founder and CEO of CyberWell, expressed surprise that AI-generated content was twice as likely as user-generated content to be violently antisemitic.
"When you have generative AI content that's literally fetishizing or justifying violence against Jews at a rate that's twice as high as user-generated content ... that's very worrying to us," Cohen Montemayor said in an interview. She raised a troubling question about platform algorithms: "Is there something in the design or in the system that AI recognizes AI and is more likely to amplify that content in our future?"
Unlike traditional extremist content, much of the material identified in the report was designed to appear humorous, iconic, or satirical, with many posts hashtagged as such, allowing it to spread before moderation systems could intervene. Cohen Montemayor noted that setting violence as the threshold for moderation does not adequately address how racism and hate manifest in social spaces.
The report found that TikTok accounted for the largest share of AI-generated antisemitic content in the dataset at 35 percent, while Instagram generated the majority of views at 62 percent and engagement at 92 percent.
