The boy who cried wolf: a case study of manufactured antisemitism

Published at 29 April 2024

What was claimed

A Jewish man who had attended a pro-palestine counter-protest had been singled out and threatened with arrest for being 'openly Jewish'.

Summary of our analysis

Upon consulting multiple sources, it is clear that the incident was not isolated, and on the same day, the same individual had tried to provoke officers and protesters multiple times. It seems the aim was to generate controversy as a reaction to the pro-Palestine protests, and it appears he succeeded.
