The organization Stop Antisemitism has opened the voting to appoint the 2024 anti-Semitic.
The list, which contains ten “finalists”, aims to draw attention to people who, according to the organization, spread anti-Semitic rhetoric during the year.
Among the nominees are politicians, activists and public figures who accused of having contributed to increased anti-Semitism through his statements and actions.
For Sweden, there is one name in particular that stands out – the climate profile Greta Thunberg. Here is the justification regarding her:
“Greta Thunberg has turned her climate activism into a platform for anti-Semitism. Since the October 7 massacre, she has joined protests wearing a Palestinian shawl and expressing contempt for the Jewish state. From chanting 'crush Zionism'” at demonstrations to targeting on Israeli participants in Eurovision, Thunberg's activism now contributes to fueling hostility towards Jews.”
Another of the nominees is the American congressman Cori Bush, whose statements after the Hamas attack on October 7 have been criticized.
Other profiles mentioned include influencer Hasan Piker, MMA athlete Jake Shields, poker profiler Dan Bilzerian and conservative commentator Candace Owens, according to Stop Antisemitism their platforms to spread disinformation, conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic propaganda.
