TEV unveils its new AI-powered monitoring system
Brussels, April 16, 2026 – The Action and Protection Foundation (TEV) has unveiled a unique, artificial intelligence-based monitoring software at the conference of the European Jewish Association (EJA) in Brussels. The system is built on more than 15 years of antisemitism monitoring experience and was developed over four years in cooperation with an Israeli technology partner.
The software is capable of automatically collecting, filtering, and analysing billions of posts and comments across major social media platforms—including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and X—based on hundreds of predefined keywords. It identifies and categorises antisemitic content according to the seven categories defined by the OSCE, and organises the data into a structured database, enabling analysis, reporting, and, where necessary, legal or security responses.
The development was made possible through support from the Hungarian government between 2022 and 2024, as well as private donations from international Jewish communities.
Hate has moved to the digital space – a new response is needed
Following the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks, antisemitism has increased dramatically across Europe and the Western world. The security situation of Jewish communities has deteriorated, while the primary arena of hate speech has shifted from traditional media to social media platforms.
Today, social media is not only the main space for spreading hate but also a precursor to offline physical violence. Previous monitoring systems were unable to process the vast volume of online content using a unified methodology, meaning that existing antisemitism reports only partially reflected reality.
TEV’s new system is the first in the world capable of addressing this gap in a language-independent, automated manner, providing a real-time picture of antisemitic hate trends.
The system operates in full compliance with European GDPR regulations.
Brussels launch: towards European-level cooperation
TEV presented the system for the first time at the EJA conference, attended by representatives of Jewish communities from 15 European countries. The presentation showcased the system’s capabilities and full-year 2025 results using German, French, and Hungarian language datasets.
A central topic of the conference was how participating communities could integrate the technology into their own monitoring systems and establish a unified European framework for data collection and reporting.
Rabbi Menachem Margolin, Chairman of the EJA, emphasised:
“The value of TEV’s expertise and the software presented today is immeasurable for the EJA. Today, monitoring antisemitism is no longer only about academic analysis or potential legal steps—it is about identifying direct security risks. This requires tools like this system, which we have been waiting for for many years.”
Lawrence de Donges-Amiss-Amiss, a representative of the Jewish community of Germany added:
“This system addresses a real and pressing problem. Until now, we relied on dozens of volunteers to manually monitor social media, which was clearly inefficient. This technology brings monitoring to an entirely new level.”
Kálmán Szalai, President of TEV, stated:
“The detailed monitoring reports generated by this system will soon be available on TEV’s new international platform, apleu.org, in 16 European languages. In recent years, antisemitism driven by anti-Israel narratives has increased dramatically. This system not only identifies these trends but also provides guidance for the necessary legal, communication, and security responses.”
Key findings: full-year 2025 data reveal the true scale of antisemitism today
The system’s first full-year dataset for 2025 highlights the real scale of antisemitism:
These figures significantly exceed those identified through traditional monitoring methods. Key insights include:
To date, the system has analysed over 25.5 million posts and identified more than 10,000 antisemitic accounts.
What is TEV? – from Hungarian initiative to European actor
The Action and Protection Foundation (TEV) was established in Hungary in 2012 with the goal of combating antisemitism through a professional, data-driven approach. Its work is built on three main pillars:
In recent years, TEV has become a key European actor in the field. With the establishment of its Brussels office, its international activities have become institutionalised, focusing on expanding Hungarian best practices across Europe.
One of its most significant international projects was the first comprehensive antisemitism perception and attitude survey conducted across 16 European countries in 2019–2020, providing representative data on antisemitism in Europe.
TEV produces monthly and annual reports that serve as reference points for policymakers, authorities, and civil society, while continuously advancing methodological innovation in the fight against antisemitism.
A new era in combating antisemitism
TEV’s new monitoring system marks a fundamental shift in how antisemitism is addressed: moving from reactive approaches to precise, data-driven prevention and rapid intervention.
The technology not only enables a deeper understanding of the phenomenon but also provides concrete operational tools for communities, authorities, and security organisations to prevent and respond to threats more effectively.
