| Abstract: | This study examines Jewish teens' experiences with antisemitism, both online and in person. Through qualitative analysis, it looks at teens' encounters with online hate speech, their reactions to antisemitic remarks made by Kanye West, and the support received from non-Jewish allies. The findings reveal emotions ranging from frustration and betrayal to resilience and solidarity. Despite challenges, the teens demonstrate agency in confronting antisemitism, making meaningful choices to fight hatred and uphold their values. This study highlights the experiences of an understudied demographic and proves the importance of education and community when addressing antisemitism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
