ANTI-SEMITISM, HATE AND WILD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ON DEMAND

A "FREE speech" video website launched as an alternative to YouTube has been accused of hosting anti-Semitic extremists pushing conspiracy theories about Gaza.

A growing number of far-right hate speakers are getting airtime on controversial platform Rumble.

And it comes amid a leap in antiSemitic hate crimes recorded by some of our largest police forces in the weeks since the October 7 Hamas massacre.

Now there is a call for the site to be shut down. Far-right thug Tommy Robinson has a channel on Rumble with more than 25,000 followers, as does Britain First. Hate peddlers in the US love it.

Extremist commentator Nicholas Joseph Fuentes has a channel on the site with tens of thousands of followers.

He had his YouTube account suspended in 2020. Widely described as a white supremacist, he is also a Holocaust denier.

American far-right radio show host Alex Jones also thrives on Rumble after getting the YouTube boot in 2018.
