It’s too early to tell what the long-term effects of a Donald Trump candidacy will be. But one thing is for sure – his hateful rhetoric has inspired his followers. And especially so online, where it’s easy to attack someone without repercussions.

We have compiled an interactive timeline of these attacks, that you can look at below. For more about the scope of anti-Semitic trolling, click here.

“There has been a rise in this kind of anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish journalist,” said Mark Potok, a fellow at the Southern Policy Law Center that tracks hate-groups. “I also believe that the Trump campaign has made it more acceptable to make these anti-Semitic claims in public,” Polok told the Forward. “He made it acceptable.”
