Media Consumption and Antisemitism
In April 2026, Boundless partnered with national polling firm GQR to examine the intersection of media consumption and the spread of online hate among American adults.
We found that antisemitic narratives are widespread, shaped by a high-exposure, low- trust online environment where conspiracy thinking, ideological media consumption, and heavy social media use influence how people encounter anti-Jewish ideas.
Key Findings:
Exposure to antisemitic content online cuts across age groups and political ideologies.
71% of people say conspiracy theories are common online.
Consumers of ideologically driven sources—both liberal and conservative—report seeing similar levels of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel content online.
Those who frequently rely on ideological news sources are more than twice as likely to encounter anti-Jewish content.
Among people who report seeing opinions about Jewish people online, 31% say the content they see is antisemitic.
One-third of Americans report seeing claims about “Zionist control,” and roughly one in four consider these statements to be true or a fair political opinion.
Approximately one in three Americans (33%) hold anti-Jewish views, including beliefs related to control, dual loyalty, or unethical behavior.
