A recent controversy has emerged around Elan Bibas, a new contestant on "Love Island USA," after some viewers on social media labeled him a "threat." The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has highlighted the online backlash, stating that Bibas, a Canadian Jew living in America, has been "villainized for his identity" and for having visited Israel. According to the ADL, the accusations against Bibas are "blatantly antisemitic" and "hateful and baseless." The organization emphasized that "Love Island is meant to be fun" and that the incident serves as "a stark reminder of the antisemitism and anti-Israel hostility festering online." The video shared by ADL features screenshots of comments, including one questioning if it's "love time" after "killing children and women," and another stating, "even if he wasn't an idf soldier he's still a Zionist... it was a hard watch." The incident underscores ongoing concerns about the spread of hate and misinformation on social media platforms, particularly concerning individuals' religious or ethnic backgrounds.
