[Commlist] Report on Antisemitism in UK, France and Germany and Call to Cooperation and Discussion

The research project “Decoding Antisemitism” at the Centre for Research
on Antisemitism at TU Berlin and King’s College London investigates the
extent and forms of antisemitic hate speech on websites in Great Britain,
France and Germany. The focus is not on radicalised milieus, but on the
communication on social platforms and media outlets within the political
mainstream. In this respect, the project sees itself as an early warning
system for broad societal shifts, and aims to sensitise political groups and
civil societies to them.

We are pleased to present you the second project-related discourse report.
You can now find the PDF files in English, French and German on our website:
https://decoding-antisemitism.eu.

Over the past three months, we have been examining debates on news websites
and social media platforms in the UK, France and Germany, including 
reactions
to the recent escalation of the Arab-Israeli conflict in May 2021. In the
next phase of the project, our findings will be used to train artificial
intelligence for automatic recognition of the specific linguistic traits. In
that stage, an algorithm will learn to mimic the application of expert
knowledge in order to detect antisemitic speech in a context-sensitive way.

If you would like to receive news about our project and be notified 
about the
next discourse reports, please send an email to:
(news /at/ decoding-antisemitism.eu) [2]. Also, if you would like to get in contact
with us, and/or you are interested in cooperation, please do not hesitate to
write us. We would be very happy to get into a constructive discussion with
friends and colleagues from the DiscourseNet community.
