WHO WE ARE
We are GnasherJew, a group of experienced online investigators who expose Holocaust deniers and antisemites around the globe. We are the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors and victims.
No longer are Nazis hiding out in bunkers and evading capture, social media has given antisemites an easy way to spread their antisemitic poison behind fake profiles and anonymity. We are the ONLY Jewish organization using advanced open source intelligence (OSINT) research techniques to expose these perpetrators and hold them accountable for their hate.
One of our major accomplishments has been documenting how widespread and serious the antisemitism problem was within the UK Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn. Additionally, we provided our research and evidence to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which found the Labour Party guilty of illegal discrimination against Jews.
WHAT WE DO
MONITOR
We monitor social media and receive information on antisemitic incidents from the public.
INVESTIGATE
We use advanced OSINT research techniques to investigate antisemitic incidents and verify the evidence.
PUBLICISE
We expose antisemites and share information with the general public, journalists, regulatory authorities, and law enforcement officials.
Below are a few recent examples of how we have held antisemites accountable
Our work has frequently been mentioned in the media, please check the media mentions page for further information.

Media watchdog Ofcom launched probe into BBC coverage of antisemitic attack
During Hanukkah 2021, Jewish youths celebrating on a bus were attacked by men who performed Nazi salutes and spat at them. Harry Farley, a BBC journalist who reported about the incident alleges, apparently without basis, that “there were some racial slurs heard inside the bus.” which seems to justify the attackers’ horrific actions.
In reviewing the audio track from the incident, our team determined that no such slurs were audible. The only words that were said were in Hebrew “tikra lemishehu, ze dachuf” – “call someone, it’s urgent”.
We challenged the journalist and escalated the problem to the Board Of British Jews. This caused a large amount of media attention and an official investigation by the UK media regulator, OFCOM.
