8/28 – Opinionated Article

A modern opinionated article on New York Times stated, “I saw immediately that several people — friends, acquaintances, fellow synagogue members — had texted me the same disturbing image. It was a Twitter profile with the name “David Goldberg.” The bio read; “Orthodox Jew against the apartheid state of Israel.” But the profile picture was of her husband Benjamin. The social media account had posted a picture that was pro-boycotting Israel. After digging deeper into the identity theft of other Jews, they saw a few more profiles began to appear on social media, most posing as Orthodox Jews promoting anti-Semitic and anti-Israel content. After reading this Opinion Op-ed story it left me amazed because it never occurred to the family that they’d have to go through this. It also showed me that the world can be a cold place and to be prepared and to be safe when it comes to personal social media.
