Except there is rising antisetism in Germany (source of the report) and according to media reports there is rising antisemitism in the US which is the source of your phrase.

Antisemitism might be rising due to many things, like an ongoing event where huge number of civilians, including children are killed. That kind of stuff can make people angry and emotional and direct it towards a group of people instead of politicians. It's beyond me why anyone would attribute it to social media company. If there was no TikTok/Twitter etc, people would have heard of it from politicians and NGOs and some people with other motives would have used it.

  Can you eloberate why the Gazian Israelian war is linked to planned terror attacks with bombs on Synogogs in Berlin? Also this link can be seen on Tik Tok so they become more antisemetic.

    I have no idea if it is linked or if so why would it be linked on that particular incident. What I see on Twitter though, is that people get angry and seek answers when people they feel connected to are wronged and there are always people providing answers like "because Jews are like that". I wouldn't say that this is necessarily Twitters fault and I don't think these comments should be blocked. People gravitate towards easy answers to their problems and blocking doesn't help because there's private groups and real life communities where that kind of stuff is discussed. I think, people concerned of social media are also seeking easy answers like those concerned with the mass killings of Palestinians. They all have valid concerns but their desire of easy solutions is misguided. It's so easy to say its the "evil jews" and its so easy to say that social media companies are radicalising people. Only if they can do this thing they will fix it, they think. There's no easy solution to Gaza-Israel conflict, there's no easy solution to people communicating BS with each other.

Germany got a bit off-rails during the last months. Any critique towards Israel’s actions it is called antisemitism. As an example, this event organised by jewish people to talk about peace have been marked as antisemite by the government and lead to funding cancellation of a cultural center. https://oyoun.de/en/news/offener-brief-oyoun-muss-bleiben/ https://oyoun.de/en/news/offener-brief-oyoun-muss-bleiben/

  1.) The study is about antisemitism in Germany. There are Hamas supporters who plan terror attacks against synagogues and churches. 2.) Just somebody claimed to be canceled is not objectely canceled. 3.) this institution invitated people who have a positive and supportive view on 7 October massacre, source https://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/neukollner-kulturzentrum-vor-dem-aus-neue-schwere-vorwurfe-gegen-das-oyoun-10864342.html https://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/neukollner-kulturzentrum-... 4.) It's about governmental funding. They still operate but why should my tax money put into this institution who have a positive attitude to massacres. Can you read German or does your knowledge is based on English sources on this topic?
