Tearing Cultures Apart Through Division
Anti-Semitism serves as a powerful catalyst for societal disintegration, effectively fueling hatred and division within cultures. A significant portion of anti-Semitic content on social media is reportedly generated by Russian bots, highlighting a longstanding strategy designed to manipulate public perception and incite chaos. Historical tactics, such as marking Jewish properties to encourage hostility, empower individuals to embrace this hatred. By creating permission structures for animosity, external actors succeed in deepening polarization, which ultimately erodes societal cohesion. This manipulation is not partisan; various groups, including Iran and Russia, exploit political blind spots across party lines to foster division and strife.
