TORONTO – B’nai Brith Canada is reiterating its call for the Federal Government to study digital hate and online extremism after an internet provider independently pulled the plug on GoyimTV.com, a major neo-Nazi website.

“For years, GoyimTV.com – a propaganda vehicle operated by the so-called ‘Goyim Defense League’ (GDL) – has existed as a kind of YouTube for white supremacy, antisemitism, and Holocaust denial,” said Richard Robertson, B’nai Brith Canada’s Director of Research and Advocacy. “Although the GDL is most prominent in the U.S, it is well-known that the group has been using its website and social media to internationalize hate and influence Canadians.”

According to media reports, the URL “www.goyimtv.com” went offline after U.S journalists contacted the website’s host-provider for comment. GoyimTV has since relocated to a different web-address. The GDL also uses a variety of video-streaming platforms, many of which are popular among Canadians.

In August 2022, antisemitic flyers associated with the group were placed throughout cities such as Langley, B.C, Peterborough, Ont., and Saskatoon, SK. In its 2024 edition of the Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents in Canada, B’nai Brith Canada reported on several Canadians who are believed to be associated with the GDL. During the past three years, the GDL has continued to expand its influence in Canada.

Robertson said B’nai Brith Canada is most concerned about the GDL’s attempts to contact young children, including on social media and during livestreams.

“There are videos of these neo-Nazis talking to kids on live camera, harassing youth of visible minorities, and inciting violence against Jews, racial minorities, and LGBTQIA+ individuals,” Robertson said. “It’s sick. Canada must study the scale of this problem and take serious steps to protect Canadian youth.”

B’nai Brith Canada has previously written to the Federal Government about the ramifications of such online extremism. In September, we called for Parliament to create a task force to study youth radicalization on the internet.

“The shut-down of GoyimTV.com must be an impetus for further action,” said Simon Wolle, B’nai Brith Canada’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are calling on stakeholders in the Government and tech sphere to implement safeguards to prevent the GDL and similar groups from exploiting internet spaces to indoctrinate youth and promote hate.”
