Great meeting with @ronlevi.bsky.social @odeliaoshri.bsky.social Shaul Shenhav & Effi Levi, working on our joint research as part of @utoronto.ca @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social Research and Training Alliance. We’re developing a computational model to classify the basic structure of hate narratives ⬇️

Can AI alone decide what counts as hate speech online? Our new study across 21 countries suggests people don't think so. They prefer human involvement in moderation and stronger sanctions for hate speech. Fantastic team of colleagues @utoronto.ca @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social rdcu.be/fgfTj

The takeaway: Integration and discrimination coexist. Rather than weakening political cohesion, exclusion reinforces collective political behavior. Integrated minorities rally behind parties perceived as protective of their rights. Read the full paper here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

We also asked an open-ended Q: "What does Germany mean to you?" Exposure to hate crimes or far-right rhetoric sparked terms like "racism". But importantly, it also invoked "justice," "freedom," & "tolerance." Exclusion can intensify appeals to democratic ideals for protection.

The paradox of integration: 3rd-gen Muslims are highly integrated, but report a stronger Muslim identity & higher perceived discrimination. Because they expect equal treatment and interact more with the broader public, they are more aware of and sensitive to exclusion.

Exposure to hate-crime cues increased support for the center-left SPD from 19.9% (control) to 33.4%. These exclusionary cues sparked negative emotions like anger, which drove political mobilization rather than withdrawal.

To find out, we ran a survey experiment with ~1,000 Muslim Turks in Germany. We randomized exposure to news clips showing anti-Muslim hate crimes & far-right AfD rhetoric. The result? Both treatments increased political participation AND shifted votes to the left.

The Puzzle: Third-generation Muslims in Germany are the most socially, economically, and linguistically integrated. Yet, they are more likely to vote for left-wing parties than 1st and 2nd-generation Muslims. Why doesn't integration reduce group-based voting?

Odelia Oshri @odeliaoshri.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

First, the big picture: Across 18 Western European democracies (2002–2020), there is a massive, persistent voting gap. Muslims support left-wing parties at much higher rates than non-Muslims, often by >30 points. This gap spikes when the far-right enters parliament.

🚨 New paper! Does social integration change how minorities vote? Classic theories say yes: voting patterns should converge with the majority. But looking at Muslim Turks in Germany, we found the exact opposite. A thread on the integration puzzle 👇

More women in radical-right parties doesn't mean progress—it means more conservatism. Our new study in ‪@eupthejournal.bsky.social‬ shows how female visibility is used to legitimize illiberal gender agendas, not challenge them. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
