IVLP Impact Award Project: Countering Antisemitism and Islamophobia on Social Media Platforms

This project empowered eight individuals aged 15 and up from Tel Aviv and Haifa to combat online hate speech and disinformation. The program included online and in-person practical, hands-on training and mentoring, networking, and community-building. Participants learned how to create a safer, less hateful social media space by reporting hateful content and having it deleted. Approximately 1,000 posts were monitored and reported over a three and a half month period.

IVLP Exchange Experience 

Tomer participated in the IVLP Project Countering Holocaust Denial and Antisemitism to Combat Racism and Identity-Based Hate, organized by the U.S. Department of State and FHI 360 in partnership International Citizen Diplomacy of Los Angeles, Providence, International Focus, Inc., Global Ties Alabama, and the International Institute of Wisconsin.

Tomer's exchange experience led to the development of his IVLP Impact Award Project: "As a result of the IVLP, I have gained a greater understanding of Arab and Muslim perspectives on the Holocaust, the state of Israel, and antisemitism. I understand that Holocaust studies should not be focused on Jews in Israel or abroad, but on everyone who is subject to hatred."
