The network relies on AI-generated avatars and fabricated IDs designed to mimic credible Jewish voices, Combat Antisemitism Movement found.
A coordinated network of AI-generated TikTok accounts posing as Jewish rabbis is systematically spreading antisemitic content, according to a report released Wednesday by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM).
“The danger is clear. By masquerading as authentic Jewish voices, these ‘rabbis’ erode trust, normalize hatred, and incite real-world violence targeting Jews,” the report said. “By amplifying this content to young, impressionable audiences, TikTok is complicit in accelerating radicalization in an era when AI is making disinformation increasingly difficult to detect.”
The study, conducted by the U.S.-based nonprofit’s Antisemitism Research Center (ARC), identified 49 TikTok accounts impersonating Jewish religious figures while disseminating conspiracy theories and classic antisemitic narratives. Together, the accounts amassed more than 950,000 followers and generated over 10 million likes.
The network relies on AI-generated avatars and fabricated identities designed to mimic credible Jewish voices. Researchers who conducted an in-depth analysis of four accounts—@rabbirothstein, @rabingoldmaan, @rabbistirberg and @rabbi_silverstein—uncovered patterns of coordination, including identical narrative framing, shared language and consistent thematic focus.
