In a shocking display of indifference, Meta has permitted the antisemitic Instagram account @zionistauthors to remain active despite multiple complaints.
This account explicitly targets Jewish and pro-Israel authors, aiming to blacklist their work under the guise of activism.
Antisemitic Instagram page targeting Jewish authors.
This is not an isolated incident. In March 2024, a similar spreadsheet titled “Is Your Fav Author a Zionist?” went viral, inciting harassment against Jewish writers and their allies.

The content shared by these platforms directly mirrors dangerous propaganda strategies used throughout history to silence and demonize Jewish voices. As Holocaust historian Deborah Lipstadt warns, “The Holocaust began with words.”
The content spread by @zionistauthors perpetuates hate, intolerance, and dehumanization. Allowing this account to operate undermines Meta’s stated commitment to combating hate speech.
If similar accounts targeting other minority groups emerged, Meta would undoubtedly act swiftly. Why, then, the double standard when it comes to Jews?
Meta must enforce its community standards equitably. Failure to do so not only endangers Jewish creators but also exposes the platform to moral and legal scrutiny.

Subject: Immediate Action Needed: Remove Antisemitic Account @zionistauthors
Dear Meta Team,
I am deeply concerned about the antisemitic Instagram account @zionistauthors. Its hateful content targets Jewish authors, fostering discrimination and intolerance.
Allowing this account to persist is unacceptable.
I urge Meta to enforce its community standards and remove this account immediately. Your inaction sends a dangerous message and contradicts your stated values.
Sincerely,
Do You Love Israel? Make a Donation - Show Your Support!
Donate to vital charities that help protect Israeli citizens and inspire millions around the world to support Israel too!
Now more than ever, Israel needs your help to fight and win the war -- including on the battlefield of public opinion.
Antisemitism, anti-Israel bias and boycotts are out of control. Israel's enemies are inciting terror and violence against innocent Israelis and Jews around the world. Help us fight back!
