Star of the the Netflix hit “My Unorthodox Life” Julia Haart has devised a plan to help give support to those standing up against antisemitism online.
The reality star and fashion exec is helping launch a website called AHM Nation.
“It’s for those people who are getting attacked and vilified because they are Jewish, or supporting Jewish people, or saying antisemitism is wrong,” Haart told Page Six.
“It is so they know they aren’t alone. It’s about community and love,” she added.
The Jewish star — who has also been outspoken about her support for Israel — tells Page Six she has received hateful messages, including death threats and threats of physical violence online.
Her two children have also received disturbing messages online, she said.
She says that users of her site will be able to sign up and create a community together.
She spoke about the initiative — which she said “has a safety in numbers ethos” — during a private keynote speech ahead of the ADL’s “Never Again is Now” conference in NYC last week.
“A friend said she posted that antisemitism is bad, and people called her ‘pro genocide.’ All she posted was that antisemitism is not OK. This makes it cool to not be OK with antisemitism,” said Haart.
“We want everyone to know they have power,” she told us. “By following someone fighting antisemitism, you are fighting antisemitism.”
The site will also direct people to those sharing content about Israel.
Haart pointed to the backlash that “Stranger Things” actor Noah Schnapp and Tiffany Haddish — who recently visited Israel — have received online for supporting Israel.
“AHM Nation mobilizes volunteers and turns them into heroes to fight antisemitism and support Israel through social media,” says the site. “By joining, members contribute to fostering a more inclusive and positive conversation about Jewish people and Israel online.”
