from 2019 to the 2020 election year, as incidences around COVID-related discrimination, like being coughed on or physically assaulted, were reported.“One of the great purposes of this report is to signal an early warning about what we can see and what we can predict,” Michael Lieberman, senior policy counsel at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a contributing partner to the report, explained to Yahoo News.
“Eleven Jews were murdered at prayer at the Tree of Life synagogue because this guy was radicalized by what he was reading on social media platforms,” Rabbi Jonah Pesner, director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, told Yahoo News. “As was the Buffalo shooter, an anti-Black shooter who is a white supremacist who believes in the replacement lie, the Jews controlled the world, similarly got radicalized online. So, we really have to take on these platforms.
The organizations that contributed to the report say that public officials have a duty to speak out about hate crimes as the country heads into the next presidential election. A memorial across the street from Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo, where a racist mass shooting took place.
