Shock, Coercion, and Hate: Antisemitism in The Com and 764

Antisemitism is deeply woven into the cultural fabric of the Com network and its most influential group, 764, primarily known for sadistic online exploitation (SOE) of children and young people, along with other criminal and harmful activities like doxing, swatting, and cyberbullying. Anti-Jewish hate in the Com surfaces in the online propaganda shared in these spaces, meant to desensitize members to violence and cruelty; the screen names displayed on various platforms; the content that bad actors coerce their victims into creating; the swatting campaigns targeting Jewish institutions; and the physical violence against Jewish individuals.

These examples reflect that range, much of it created and shared for clout within these networks: When a 764 member fatally stabbed an elderly woman he suspected of having Jewish or Roma ancestry, he livestreamed the attack on Discord. When several synagogues across Florida were targeted with swatting calls, a Com actor publicly claimed credit for the harassment. When Com actors coerce victims into carving swastikas into their skin or writing antisemitic messages in blood, they share the resulting images throughout their networks as proof of their cruelty and power.

Within the Com, antisemitism serves multiple purposes. It signals transgression, intimidates victims, helps members gain status within the network, and connects them to other extremist communities. Understanding antisemitism within the Com is essential to assessing the threat posed by the network.

What are the Com and 764? 

The Com is a loosely connected, transnational network of online actors involved in a wide range of illicit and harmful activities, including SOE, coerced self-harm, swatting, vandalism, arson, ransomware attacks, and the distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). 764 is the most well-known and influential sub-group within the Com and has inspired numerous copycat groups and offshoots in recent years.

The Com is made up mostly of minors and young adults. Members operate across popular platforms including Discord, TikTok, Roblox, and Telegram to find and target victims. 

The network functions on a social hierarchy where actors compete for notoriety and status, and the most transgressive, extreme acts and crimes are rewarded with respect and attention. The line between victims and perpetrators is often blurred, as many individuals who engage in harmful activities have themselves been victims of exploitation within the network. 

The Com's culture embraces nihilism, misanthropy, and transgressive beliefs designed to shock and provoke. While antisemitism is not the only ideology present, it's a recurring theme across the network's visual aesthetics, propaganda, and methods of victimization.

The Role of Antisemitism in Com Culture

To gain clout, some Com actors use swastikas, neo-Nazi imagery, and antisemitic references in their online personas and content. Others adopt imagery associated with violent extremist groups that have historically targeted Jews. In some cases, Com actors have directly targeted Jewish communities, including through swatting campaigns against Jewish institutions, vandalism, and even physical attacks.

The clout generated by this behavior yields tangible benefits. It can earn Com actors placement on exclusive “rosters” (lists of a group’s official members), “hall of fame” recognition (lists of well-known Com actors), access to private chats, and administrative privileges in Telegram channels and other online spaces.

Com actors also weaponize antisemitism to degrade and control victims, sometimes directing them to produce antisemitic content as part of their abuse. This includes coercing victims to carve an abuser's name into their own bodies ("cut signs") or to write an abuser's name on walls using their own or animal blood ("blood walls"), often alongside swastikas or other antisemitic references. These acts demonstrate the abuser's perceived power and "ownership" over victims, boosting the abuser’s status within the network. The harm to victims compounds when this material is repurposed as group propaganda, sadistic entertainment, or proof of an actor's willingness to push moral boundaries.

Antisemitism can also serve as a bridge between the Com and other extremist environments, including neo-Nazi, accelerationist, and incel spaces where anti-Jewish hatred is central. While Com actors may initially use antisemitism for shock value and clout, repeated engagement with antisemitic content can normalize and desensitize Com actors to anti-Jewish hatred and expose participants to more extremist ideologies.

How Antisemitism Manifests in the Com

Antisemitism takes many forms across the Com, ranging from slurs in screen names to threats and acts of violence targeting Jewish communities.

On Telegram, TikTok, and other platforms, Com actors frequently incorporate antisemitic references, swastikas, and other hateful symbols into their screen names, profile pictures, and channel and group names. Antisemitic messages and imagery also appear in propaganda, video edits, and instruction manuals, such as those created by 764 offshoot groups like No Lives Matter (NLM) and Maniac Murder Cult (M.K.Y.), which are distributed throughout the Com. Some groups also adopt the names and iconography of terrorist and violent extremist organizations that have historically targeted Jews, including Atomwaffen Division, the Islamic State (IS), and the Ku Klux Klan.

Antisemitic imagery also appears in illicit content created and shared throughout the network. Com actors who engage in vandalism and sadistic online exploitation sometimes distribute photos and videos of graffiti, “fan signs,” “blood walls,” and “cut signs” containing swastikas, neo-Nazi imagery, and antisemitic references. This content is often repurposed in propaganda and video edits, expanding its reach and value within the Com.

In June 2026, an alleged Com actor vandalized a Jewish Community Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with graffiti featuring a swastika and the names of several Com groups, including 764. In May 2026, a leader of Maniac Murder Cult, a neo-Nazi accelerationist group operating within the Com, was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after attempting to recruit others to attack Jews and racial minorities. And in August 2023, a 764 member in Romania was sentenced to 14 years in prison for fatally stabbing an elderly woman whom he suspected of having Roma or Jewish ancestry. He livestreamed the attack on Discord.

Com actors have also targeted Jewish institutions with swatting campaigns. In January 2026, two Com swatting actors claimed responsibility for a voicemail containing a hoax bomb threat left at a Jewish high school in Los Angeles, California, falsely alleging pipe bombs had been planted around the campus. Similarly, in October 2025, a Com swatting group took credit for hoax threats targeting multiple synagogues in Florida on the eve of Yom Kippur. In July 2026, analysts with the ADL Center on Extremism also observed a swatting actor make threats of violence specifically against Jews and Black people in an attempt to provoke a law enforcement response at a targeted location.

Although these threats were fabricated, their effects on Jewish communities are real and far-reaching. Swatting attacks create fear, disrupt education and religious services, and strain law enforcement resources. Repeated hoax threats may also desensitize authorities, impeding their ability to identify and respond quickly to credible threats to Jewish communities. These incidents can also trigger potentially dangerous encounters between responding law enforcement officers and Jewish community members. This risk was evident during a 2023 swatting campaign with ties to the Com, in which participants viewed public livestreams of Jewish religious services to gather visual details about congregants, impersonate them, and make their hoax reports appear more credible.

Antisemitism as a Core Feature

Law enforcement, tech companies, educators, and policymakers must recognize antisemitism as a core feature of the Com. Understanding these dynamics is critical to protecting Jews and other communities and preventing online hate from escalating into physical violence.
