Tiktok’s Antisemitism Problem

Documenting antisemitism on one of the biggest social media platforms

[tiktokantisemites]

This blog exists for the purpose of calling out antisemitism on TikTok. Though other socials may occasionally be posted, the majority of the content you see here is focused on TikTok antisemites.

For more detailed coverage of the Reddit Platform, I highly recommend following @redditantisemitism and keeping up with their posts.

If you want me to see something, feel free to toss me a screenshot or a link. If you have questions I will do my best to answer them or pass them on to someone who has both the knowledge and the desire to educate.

Bigotry in any form is not tolerated here.

I'm no longer on Tiktok, a platform I left for my mental health somewhere around 2024. Should I pivot to Jewish Sideblog? If so, what name?

This is far more a post for @redditantisemitism, but I am so disgusted by the way that a brand on RedditLaqueristas has targeted and harassed a Jewish poster and is being defended because "well she was talking about Israel/Palestine" despite the fact that the brand owner brought IP into an UNRELATED conversation about antisemitism to try to discredit the poster's discomfort. I'm not even participating, I'm just reading the discourse and feeling my heart break.

If your only response to someone saying all Israelis are banned from posting somewhere is “that’s not fair, there are lots of non-Jewish Israelis,” please consider that you’re a jerk.

The Billy Porter Cabaret thing is prime evidence people don’t listen to Jews. “Hey maybe he didn’t mean it but he said something that was kinda antisemitic”

“Omg you just have to be the victims in everything you’re ending this man’s run in cabaret so terribly”

“I don’t care about Huda Beauty’s founder’s politics! Politics shouldn’t stop me from buying the products I love! So what if she’s a conspiracy theorist?” is 100% of the time said by people who call Jews Zios and think “Jewish” is a reason to boycott just in case they support Israel.

Nothing annoys me more than when I say “hey, this thing doesn’t feel good” and someone else is like “well as a Jew it doesn’t bother me so you shouldn’t be offended either”. Like? Fuck off with that.

The world we’re in right now is a world where I’m posting this on a defunct sideblog to avoid reminding my followers on my main who might have forgotten that I’m Jewish, something that I shouldn’t feel the need to hide at all, ever. Don’t tell me how to fucking feel.

“This isn’t antisemitism, something that I, a gentile, am deeply and uniquely qualified to identify” feels like half of the internet these days.

[tiktokantisemites]

Point and laugh.

And then, uh, whatever this is.

Isn’t it fascinating that when you bring up antisemitism someone loudly proclaiming “well, as a Jew” crawls out of the woodwork to scream about Zionism?

Once again, Palestine was not mentioned and yet this is another comment on the post.

I’ve been completely not present on this blog because it’s honestly exhausting being Jewish online right now and I’m not brave enough to handle it most of the time. Not sure when that will change.

Still thinking about the “Magneto wasn’t originally Jewish, the Jews stole him” discourse on tiktok, years later…

[tiktokantisemites]

I wanted to provide an update on this account, While the antisemitism on tiktok is still rampant and unrelenting, and while it has only gotten worse since I stopped posting screenshots, I have been completely unable to document it. I deleted the app, and while I try every so often to go back on so I can start documenting again I've found it too difficult and draining. As much as I feel it should be documented, I simply can't hack it right now.

[tiktokantisemites]

Ask yourself. Does your advocacy extend to Jews?

[tiktokantisemites]

Antisemitism happens, and then people who otherwise advocate for believing those who experience hate claim that antisemitism is all just part of the Jewish plot to be eternal victims. Because it isn't real if it's happening to Jews, right?

The double standard is sickening.

Apparently some people have decided that Ashkenazim and Sephardim with Jewish mothers are not halakhically Jewish because their female ancestors may have been converts. What a gross misunderstanding of the Jewish people. A person who converted is Jewish, full stop. There’s no “well actually”.

[blood-fang]

Judaism is determined by mother not by father so its kinda funny people think this. Regarding the whole "are converts real jews thing" you'll get 10 different ten different answers from 10 different jews and I think that's at its core is because Judaism is a closed practice which is non evangelical. So people on many sides of this debate have different povs for different reasons entirely.

[tiktokantisemites]

This blog does not welcome those who say converts are not real Jews.
