Joe Rogan invites antisemitic conspiracy theorists into the mainstream

Susan Benesch, executive director of the Dangerous Speech Project, an independent research group, and a faculty associate of Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, observed that “Israel’s bombing and besieging of Gaza have been a big present to antisemites, who take advantage of the deep sympathy that many well-intentioned, non-hating people have for Palestinian civilians.”

“They mix criticism of Israel and antisemitism, which allows the latter to circulate more widely,” she told JI.
