Abstract. The backdrop of a fragmented and disfigured public sphere in the context of social networks and platforms constitutes the ideal breeding ground for different forms of anti-Semitism. Anti-Jewish prejudice thus becomes one of the poles of the disinfor- mation, post-truth and conspiracy circuit that has undergone an impressive surge of online content in the past decade. Within this context, the article examines the online anti-Semitism of some Italian sites by highlighting the traditional frameworks of offline anti-Semitism and the difficulty of combating it due to the network’s own character- istics. The democratic restrictions on the use of anti-Semitic formulas, language and rhetoric fail on the net where anti-Semitism acquires currency and normalization.
Lo sfondo di una sfera pubblica frammentata e sfigurata nel contesto dei social network e delle piattaforme costituisce il terreno ideale per l’emergere di diffe- renti forme di antisemitismo. Il pregiudizio anti-ebraico diventa così uno dei poli del circuito disinformazione, post-verità e complottismo che ha conosciuto un’esplosione di contenuti on line negli ultimi dieci anni. Dentro questo contesto l’articolo esami- na l’antisemitismo on line di alcuni siti italiani evidenziandone le matrici tradiziona- li dell’antisemitismo off line e la difficoltà di combatterlo per le caratteristiche proprie della rete. I freni democratici sull’uso di formule, linguaggi e retoriche antisemite ven- gono meno sulla rete dove l’antisemitismo acquista cittadinanza e normalizzazione.
