A report from Canada's CSIS reveals that ideologically motivated violent extremist groups are increasingly utilizing antisemitism in their recruitment efforts and violence-inspired messaging. These groups exploit current events, particularly the Israel-Hamas conflict, to propagate hate and disseminate violent narratives. The report highlights social media as a crucial channel for spreading antisemitic content and emphasizes the normalization of antisemitism in Canadian society, warning of the potential increase in incidents targeting Jewish communities. Importantly, it asserts that protests related to pro-Palestinian sentiments are unlikely to give rise to violent extremist acts.
"Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremists routinely weave antisemitic commentary into their narratives in order to inspire violence and recruit individuals."
"Social media is the main pathway for the consumption of antisemitic and violent extremist content, be it via popular rhetoric available from mainstream providers, or via influencers who actively convey antisemitic content or conspiracy theories."
