ADL Study: In One Year, at Least 800 Journalists Were Subjected to Anti-Semitic Tweets

And 10 journalists received 83 percent of those tweets.

Earlier this week, Politico’s Hadas Gold received a vile anti-Semitic threat featuring an image of Gold that had been photoshopped, a Nazi-era Jewish badge imposed over her shirt and a bloody circle on her forehead with a bullet hole at the center. The accompanying message said, “Don’t mess with our boy Trump or you will be first in line for the camp.”

It was just the latest example in an election year marked by displays of anti-Semitism (and basically ever other kind of hateful messaging) on Twitter.
