Book Launch – Synthetic Hate: AI-Enhanced Antisemitism and Online Radicalization w/ Lev Topor
Monday 14 September 2026, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm GMT, London, UK
Join author Dr Lev Topor for the London launch of his latest book, Synthetic Hate: AI- Enhanced Antisemitism and Online Radicalization.
Synthetic Hate investigates how extremists exploit artificial intelligence (AI) to modernise the world’s oldest hatred. Antisemitism – rooted in religious discrimination, medieval blood libels, Nazi propaganda, and contemporary Islamist and far-right conspiracies – has found new life through generative tools that can produce persuasive text, images, audio, and video at scale. Crucially, Synthetic Hate goes beyond diagnosis, and lays out a practical counter strategy of technical safeguards, platform accountability and regulation, and education and resilience, so policymakers, researchers, and practitioners can blunt AI-amplified antisemitism and hate without sacrificing democratic values.
Introduced by Professor David Hirsh, the evening promises expert conversation about a complex and extremely timely subject.
Tickets include a glass of wine on arrival.
Dr. Lev Topor is a policy-oriented researcher and a private consultant in the fields of antisemitism and cybersecurity. He is the Head of the Cybersecurity Program at the School of Information Systems at the Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yaffo, Israel. He has published dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and reports on cyber policies, anonymous communications, racism, antisemitism, and anti-Zionism. A recognised international expert, this is his fourth book.
