Sacha Baron Cohen calls out Twitter, Jack Dorsey over rise in anti-Semitism on the platform

Sacha Baron Cohen spoke out about a rise in anti-Semitism on social media.

The star’s comments come after Israel and Hamas agreed to a cease-fire. The Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a barrage of rockets into Israel earlier this month, targeting Jerusalem, southern Israel and Tel Aviv. Israel responded with a series of airstrikes. At least 181 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, including 52 children and 31 women, with 1,225 wounded while eight Israelis were killed, including a 5-year-old boy and a soldier.

The “Borat” actor took to Twitter to highlight how, despite the ceasefire, the situation has caused a rise in anti-Semitic sentiment online, citing a report from the Anti-Defamation League that found a rise in sympathy with Adolf Hitler growing on the platform.
