"Extremism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) finds this irresponsible. "Twitter is not just any darknet service; anyone could see it and use it," said Schindler in an interview with this editorial team. "The fact that the brutal video spread so quickly on X and can still be found is fueling the debates and conflicts." In fact, hundreds of comments, some of them extreme, quickly piled up under the posts showing the video - many with xenophobic content or from the radical Islamist corner. Others, however, spread fake news because they had simply misinterpreted the scenes."

One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
