Social Media and the Normalisation of Hate: October 7 Two Years On
This OHPI report examines changes to antisemitism across ten social platforms from the year before October 7 through to the second anniversary of the attack. It reflects a sharp rise in the months after October 7, a decline later in 2024, then a renewed rise in antisemitism during 2025. On four platforms the level of antisemitism is now higher than it was in the months immediately after October 7, and on three of them the current level is at an all time high.

Responses to the Melbourne Synagogue Attacks in 2024 & 2025
In November 2024, the Addas Synagogue in Melbourne was set alight. In July 2025 the entrance to the East Melbourne Synagogue was set alight. These attacks on places of worship are just part of the rise in antisemitism in Australia since October 7, 2023. This report examines some of the online responses to these attacks, highlighting discourse, largely built around conspiracy theories, that is dismissive of, or even supportive of, attacks targeting Australian Jews.

Online Anti-Muslim Hate and Racism Against Palestinians and Arabs: October 2023 – February 2024
Online Anti-Muslim hate surged following the events of October 2023 and the Israel-Gaza war. These online incidents incited offline incidents including hate crimes, reflected the hostile offline environment, and promoted a social acceptability of anti-Muslim hate that sought to normalise this hostility. In response the Online Hate Prevention Institute based in Australia, which tackles all forms of online hate, and the Online Hate Task Force based in Belgium, which tackles all forms of online religious vilification launched the “moment project” to monitor and document this rise in hate.

The Online Antisemitism in Australia 2023 Report
This report from the Online Hate Prevention Institute, in partnership with the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, examines online antisemitism in Australia. It is based on a sample of antisemitic content manually collected by experts between November 3, 2022 and June 2, 2023. The report provides both quantitative and qualitative analysis of this data including an examination of takedown rates by the platforms after content was reported to them. The report also categorises content according a taxonomy based on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism and IHRA’s Working Definition of Holocaust Denial and Distortion.
