EXCLUSIVE: Study reveals flood of blood-curdling Jew-hate following Manchester attack

Each of the 13 accounts were found to have at least five anti-Jewish replies - some far higher - and many ultra-violent.

Replies under a post by a newspaper columnist expressing their dismay over antisemitism after the attack included outright calls for the murder of Jews.

One read: "It's inefficient but the Jew cancer must be eradicated. Humanity will be better off."

Another read: "Don't stop until Israel and all Jews are gone from this blessed Earth."

Elsewhere, one user replied to a post expressing grief: "Jewish extremism and barbarity must be exterminated from this Earth. You are genocidal, rapist, thieving, lying creatures who believe you can do whatever you like to non-Jews."

This reply included a table featuring some of the most ancient blood libels, such as the Jewish lust for killing children.

As well as comments referring to Jews as “vermin” and “parasites”, other replies focused on the Holocaust. 

One claimed the concentration camps were in fact "holiday camps" where a few visitors just happened to "perish".

Another person wrote: "Hitler tried to warn us about you people."

Several replies called for Jews not to be murdered but deported, claiming they did not belong in the UK.

Responding to a post by a major Jewish organisation, one wrote: "Get them out of Britain - problem solved. Jews have absolutely no business being in the UK. [They] aren't your land’s, your people, your religion, your culture, your language… You have no business being there. Go live amongst your own people as God intended."

And in response to a financial journalist posting about his grief, one reply read: "You are not English. You can never be as such - and because of that, you should be deported." The person behind the message went on to say that the UK was not safe for Jews and the journalist should consider leaving before "it all goes pear-shaped".

CCDH also found multiple cases of users attempting to spread a conspiracy theory that Jews were behind the Heaton Park attack.

One wrote: “The Manchester Synagogue attack is a false flag operation orchestrated by Mossad to gain sympathy.”

Another read: “His name was Jihad The Syrian?? Another Israeli false flag right after Britain recognised a Palestinian state." Others claimed that "Zionists have infiltrated the government" and were responsible.

CCDH told the JC that all of these posts were still visible on X and had not been taken down.

Imran Ahmed, CEO of the CCDH, said: "Elon Musk promised that X wouldn’t become a 'free-for-all hellscape’, and that it would be 'warm and welcoming to all'.

"That promise rings hollow for British Jews. After the horrific terror attack in Manchester, Jewish people in the UK couldn’t even express their grief without being met with a flood of violent antisemitism, including threats and calls for violence.

"The proliferation of antisemitic hate, pushed by X’s algorithm, and without meaningful consequences is a moral failure and a clear breach of the platform’s own rules. It requires urgent attention by OFCOM which has so far failed to use the powers given to it under the Online Safety Act to deal with the hate and polarisation crisis on major social media platforms."
