SUMMARY:Combatting Antisemitism and Information Manipulation in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Disinformation has fueled antisemitism for centuries\, but the war in Gaza has exacerbated the spread of false information and conspiracy theories – particularly through social media platforms and online forums. This has contributed to the reinforcement of negative stereotypes and prejudices against Jewish people. The manipulation of information targeting Jewish individuals and organizations often intersects with other forms of hate speech and discrimination\, amplifying its impact and fostering an environment conducive to antisemitic attitudes and actions. What can be done to address the challenge of disinformation? \nJoin the American Council on Germany and the German Consulate General New York on Monday\, June 17\, at 11 am ET for the next installment of the virtual series “Dealing with Disinformation.” Josephine Ballon\, the CEO of HateAid (a non-profit organization advocating for human rights in the digital space)\, and Aaron Keyak\, Deputy Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism at the U.S. Department of State\, will discuss the intersection of disinformation and antisemitism – and measures that can be taken to address them.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2F1017186351261%2FWN_ShfDh6AbTZOHuwQx_jmSJg” css=”.vc_custom_1718635167180{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Josephine Ballon has been the CEO of HateAid since September 2023. She joined the organization in November 2019 as the head of Legal.
