TikTok is being flooded with anti-Israeli videos, mainly produced by pro-Palestinian groups — and Jewish leaders say they’re poisoning the minds of the millions of young adults who get their news from the Chinese-owned platform.
“TikTok is wildly popular, short and to the point, and a brilliant marketing tool,” Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said. “But its main constituents are young people who have no collective memory and [these videos] are something that poisons attitudes toward Jews and Israel.”
The videos that one journalist dubbed “conflict porn” and another called the “Tik Tok Intifada” center on the ongoing and decades-long strife between on Israelis and Palestinians, focusing on the Israeli occupation and ongoing military bombardment of Gaza.
This year, we want to do more to bless Israel and the Jewish people.
We know that as we bless Israel this year, God will bless us, just as He promised in Genesis 12:3, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” Now is the time to bless Israel and the Jewish people.
