Orthodox Jewish TikTok creator Melinda Strauss is no stranger to antisemitism on her social media platforms, but the hate has only increased in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks and Israel’s war in Gaza. 

On any given video of Strauss’s, but particularly videos that mention or focus on Israel, she receives anti-Zionist and antisemitic hate. Still, she doesn’t let the comments get to her.
