Decoding Antisemitism: An AI-driven Study on Hate Speech and Imagery Online. Discourse Report 4
Translated Title: Decoding Antisemitism: Eine KI-gestützte Untersuchung von Hassrede und -bildern im Internet. Diskursreport 34
Author(s): Becker, Matthias J
Date: 2022

Abstract: The fourth Discourse Report analyses antisemitic responses to two major international events: the Russian invasion of Ukraine and an eruption of terrorist violence in Israel in early 2022. In the case of the attacks on Israeli civilians, antisemitic posts legitimise the recourse to violence by painting victims of terrorism as aggressors. In the same vein, it encourages grossly simplified views of complex geopolitical situations by pushing misplaced analogies between the Arab-Israeli conflict and the war of aggression waged by Russia against Ukraine. Moreover, the report examines four national case studies: novelist Sally Rooney’s boycott of Israeli publishers in the UK, the Pegasus spyware affair in France, the controversies around singer Gil Ofarim and the documenta 15 art exhibition in Germany. In all cases, users engage in a form of delegitimisation and demonisation of the state of Israel. Our analysis demonstrates again how antisemitism can deftly attach itself to any debate in society, thus reaching very different audiences. In addition, the first steps in using our annotated data sets for machine learning approaches are presented. The implementation of our first artificial intelligence model to automatically detect antisemitic content in web comments already yielded promising results.

Conspiracy theory in Serbian culture at the time of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia
Author(s): Byford, Jovan
Date: 2002
Topics: Antisemitism: Christian, Antisemitism: Far right, War, Main Topic: Antisemitism
Abstract: The thesis examines Serbian conspiracy culture at the time of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999. During the war, conspiratorial themes became a regular occurrence in Serbian mainstream media, as well as in pronouncements by the Serbian political establishment. For the most part, conspiratorial explanations focused on the machinations of transnational elite organisations such as the Bilderberg group or, more generally, on the conspiracy of 'the West'. However, conspiratorial accounts of the war occasionally invoked themes which were previously deemed to be beyond the boundaries of acceptable opinion, such as the allusion to a Jewish conspiracy or to the esoteric and occult aspects of the alleged plot. The thesis outlines the history of conspiracy theories in Serbia and critically reviews psychological approaches to understanding the nature of conspiracy theories. It suggests that the study of conspiratorial discourse requires the exploration of the rhetorical and argumentative structure of specific conspiratorial explanations, while paying special attention to the historical and ideological context within which these explanations are situated. The thesis is largely based upon the examination of the coverage of the war in the Serbian press. Recorded conversations with two well-known Serbian conspiracy theorists are also analysed. The study suggest that conspiratorial interpretations of the war drew upon a longstanding conspiracy tradition of explanation which has a strong anti-semitic legacy and is rooted in right-wing Christian ideology. Analytic chapters explore the discursive and ideological dynamics by which the anti-semitic and mystical aspects of the conspiracy tradition emerged briefly in Serbian mainstream media and political discourse. The thesis concludes by examining the status of conspiracy theories in Serbia in the aftermath of the political changes in October 2000.

Инструментализация антисемитизма в контексте российско-украинского конфликта
Translated Title: Instrumentalization of Antisemitism in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict
Author(s): Лихачев, Вячеслав Андреевич
Date: 2020
Topics: Conflict, Diplomacy, Antisemitism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, War
Abstract:
Статья посвящена анализу инструментального использования темы антисемитизма в официальном дискурсе и информационно-пропагандистских кампаниях, сопровождавших обострение российско-украинских отношений и начало вооруженного конфликта весной 2014 г. Анализ свидетельствует о чрезвычайно важном месте, которое занимала гиперболизированная проблема антисемитизма в обосновании активного российского вмешательства в политические процессы в Украине. Эта проблематика рассматривается в историческом контексте: в статье прослеживаются истоки информационных кампаний, инструментализующих антисемитизм в контексте российско-украинских отношений в предшествовавшие годы. Автор указывает на постепенный рост значения этой темы, а также анализирует причины, по которым она приобрела столь
важное значение в ходе российско-украинского конфликта. Кроме того автор обращает внимание на опасность инструментализации темы антисемитизма в пропагандистской риторике и социально-событийной инженерии, поскольку это может привести к реальному усилению антисемитизма
