The World Jewish Congress is currently conducting a survey on the incidence of anti-Semitic content on Arabic-language social media pages, after recently compiling a report on the general rise of anti-Semitism online over the course of 2016. In conjunction with its research, the WJC has launched a social media campaign aimed at exposing #ArabicAntisemitism on social media and urging YouTube to remove videos celebrating Nazism and Holocaust denial.
The results of the Arab-language research so far have shown some troubling figures. 
From London to Riyadh, Arabic speakers from all over the world are exposed to extreme forms of anti-Semitic hate on YouTube. When one search for هولوكوست, the Arabic word for the Holocaust, the results include numerous videos denying the Holocaust and glorifying Nazism, and accusing Jews of world domination and responsibility for world wars.
For young Arabic speakers, the consequences of such dehumanization is often radicalization and, frequently, incitement to violence against Jews.
The World Jewish Congress believes that it is the responsibility of social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to provide a forum where young people can learn the truth about history and the world around them.
In the digital age, it should be easier to find facts than lies. Instead, Arabic speakers seeking the truth about the Holocaust on YouTube are confronted with bigotry and falsehoods. Only education can end the hatred that results from such vicious brainwashing.
