Telegram channel displaying the emblem of a Jewish ultranationalist group | AP News | Last week, the journalists' union and Israel Democracy Institute issued a similar call to the country's attorney general and Facebook. They said violent calls that started on social networks have progressed to messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram and private Facebook groups, leading to physical attacks on journalists. Earlier this month, a Telegram channel displaying the emblem of a Jewish ultranationalist group [Kahanists] swelled from a few hundred members to more than 6,000 in just a few days. It was used to mobilize mobs of Israeli Jews to flashpoints, including the Tel Aviv suburb of Bat Yam, where a crowd pulled an Arab man from his car and beat him severely.
