Hitler’s AI translated speeches go viral on TikTok – with one video topping 1M views – in troubling trend
Misguided TikTokers are using AI to translate Adolf Hitler’s speeches into English – and racking up millions of clicks on the under-fire platform, according to a watchdog media report.
Users have pushed and even celebrated the Nazi leader’s remarks in what is an apparent violation of TikTok’s guidelines that ban “promoting (including any praise, celebration, or sharing of manifesto) or providing material support to … individuals who cause serial or mass violence, or promote hateful ideologies.”
One disturbing clip garnered more than 1 million views before it was squashed, Media Matters reported last week.
The video is of Hitler giving a speech with a slow instrumental beat that suggests the ruthless killer didn’t want to spark a conflict during World War II, that he tried to save the lives of women and children and waited to attack until he had no choice, according to the watchdog report.
The caption attached to the clip states, “Just listen.”
Media Matters detailed other instances where Nazi-themed videos proliferated throughout the social media app.
Another video — that was also eventually pulled — showed cliffs by the water as another translated speech was played.
It reportedly racked up 270,000 views and another 22,700 likes with some comments including “AH was a good and kind man” and “this changed my views on him.”
An account with more than 20,000 followers and nearly 4 million views of 12 videos with Hitler speeches, an outline of Hitler and text that states, “Growing up is realizing Who the villain Really was.”
A TikTok spokesperson said in a statement to The Post late Tuesday that the social media app already “removed almost all of the videos identified in the Media Matters report for violating our community guidelines.”
“Along with more than 1,300 pieces of related content that we removed proactively; and removed the remaining others today,” the spokesperson continued.
“We take a zero-tolerance approach to hateful content on our platform, and consistently remove more than 90 percent of it before it is reported to us.”
Some users did condemn the Hitler-themed videos, and while some videos were taken down, others remained up following the Media Matters report.
Meanwhile, between September 2 and 3, Sky News found more than 50,000 TikTok posts using speeches from Hitler and his minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels.
And to draw in more users, many of Hitler’s deranged rants were set to well-known music on the platform called Drift Phonk without permission, the outlet reported.
One post showed an image of a Nuremberg Rally with a speech from Hitler that was liked by more than 56,000 users. One comment disgracefully said, “modern society absolutely needs him.”
One artist whose music was repurposed without her knowledge, Pastel Ghost, told Sky News she found it “shocking and deplorable” and was working to find videos where it was used on the site.
The platform’s sound feature makes it harder for the company to identify inappropriate clips when it’s mixed with Nazi-laded content, Sky News reported.
After sending TikTok the hateful videos, a spokesperson told Sky News the content was quickly scrapped for breaking its policies.
“We regularly train our safety professionals and update our safeguards to detect hateful behavior on an ongoing basis, and we remove 91% of this type of content before it is reported to us,” the spokesperson said.
Frustrated Ramat Beit Shemesh Resident Reports What Really Happened with the Chareidie -Police Clash!
I write in response to Monday’s incident in Beit Shemesh involving police violence against Charedi protesters, as well as the subsequent investigation. While I unequivocally condemn any form of police brutality, I believe it’s important to understand the context of the event being protested and the community dynamics at play.
The protesters were not rallying against some harmful policy or oppressive regime—they were protesting an event designed to help young Charedi men acquire valuable skills for the workforce. The programs highlighted at the event offered education in areas like programming, bookkeeping, engineering, and healthcare—honest professions that enable individuals to support their families with dignity. These protesters are ideologically opposed to any form of secular studies, even if it means blocking others in their community from gaining skills that lead to upstanding, respectable jobs.
Imagine for a moment that members of the Brooklyn or Lakewood communities harassed others who had jobs. Imagine if they tormented individuals who took it upon themselves to earn an income for their families. You wouldn’t stand for that, would you? And yet, when it happens here, your focus is on how the police responded to these miscreants, but you say nothing about the damage these extremists are causing.
As a local resident, I’ve witnessed firsthand the damage caused by them, who are a small but vocal minority. Many of us in the community, including Charedim such as myself, are deeply frustrated with their disruptive tactics and aggressive behavior. They shout insults, create unnecessary chaos, and degrade anyone who does not align with their narrow viewpoint. Their actions are a source of fear and discomfort for families trying to live in peace, and their behavior reflects poorly on the broader community.
It’s important to note that the majority of Charedim in Beit Shemesh do not support these protests. In fact, many religious men attended the event to better themselves and their families through education, distancing themselves from the protestors and demonstrating their commitment to Torah values like Ahavas Yisrael and peaceful coexistence.
We need to foster dialogue and understanding, not perpetuate sinas chinam. Our community is diverse, with Jews from across the spectrum striving to live together in harmony. The protesters represent a distortion of values that harms us all. I hope they realize that there are many paths to serving Hashem, and that unity, not division, is what will bring Mashiach closer.
Sincerely,
Upset in RBS
Daughter of Radio Host Sid Rosenberg Suffered Unthinkable Harassment by Fellow Students
The daughter of Sid Rosenberg, legendary Jewish talk show host on 77 WABC radio, recently revealed that she was viciously harassed and doxxed by fellow students at her university in the UK. In fact, Ava Rosenberg was accused of endorsing genocide, and forced to remain away from campus for months.
The unthinkable ordeal began several weeks after October 7, and has continued for many months.
Ava’s father Sid Rosenberg has been one of the most outspoken supporters of Israel since October 7. He has discussed his daughter’s experience on the air, and it was elaborated on by ‘World Israel News.’
The outlet reported that Ava faced profound challenges as a Jewish student at Cardiff University in Wales, with “severe antisemitism and harassment that have marred her academic and personal life.”
Ava is one of only 25 Jewish students on campus, according to the outlet. In November she began to sense a great deal of friction and animosity from the majority of students who are pro-Palestinian.
Qatar Is the Second Muslim Nation Whose Citizens Can Travel to the US Without a Visa.....Good Luck!
The Gulf nation of Qatar on Tuesday became just the second Muslim-majority country to be admitted into a program that allows its citizens to travel to the United States without first obtaining a U.S. visa.
The departments of State and Homeland Security jointly announced that Qatar had met stringent eligibility requirements to join the visa waiver program. Those requirements include a low visa refusal rate, a low rate of visa overstays and a demand of reciprocal treatment of American travelers, who are already allowed to visit Qatar without a visa for up to 30 days.
“Qatar has been an exceptional partner for the United States, and our strategic relationship has only grown stronger over the past few years,” the departments said in a statement. “This is further evidence of our strategic partnership and our shared commitment to security and stability.”
Qatar, which has played a key role in trying to negotiate a cease-fire deal in Gaza and was an instrumental U.S. partner before and during the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, is the 42nd country to be admitted to the program.
Most countries whose citizens can visit the U.S. without a visa are longstanding allies in Europe and Asia. The only other Muslim-majority country in the program is the tiny Southeast Asian nation of Brunei.
Although Qatar’s population is just over 3 million people, only a small percentage of those — about 320,000 — are actually Qataris who would be eligible for the program if they hold valid passports. The vast majority of people who live in Qatar are foreign workers and other expatriates who do not hold Qatari passports.
The program allows citizens of qualifying nations to enter the U.S. for business or tourism without a visa for up to 90 days, although they must still obtain approval through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, or ESTA, which is done online and doesn’t require an in-person interview as visa applications do.
After Oct. 1, U.S. citizens will be allowed to stay in Qatar without a visa for 90 days.
Israel was the last country admitted to the program in 2023, and it was allowed in despite significant concerns that it does not treat Palestinian Americans, Arab Americans or Muslim Americans the same as other U.S. passport holders.
Argentinian Javier Milei Slams the UN in Fiery Address, Defends Israel
Argentinian President Javier Milei shredded the UN over its hypocrisy during his address to the General Assembly. He also expressed his support for Israel. In a fiery speech, Milei called out the UN’s double standard in condemning Israel and allowing so many evil rulers to violate human rights.
“In this same house, we, that purports to defend human rights, we have also included bloody dictatorships in the Human Rights Council, including Cuba and Venezuela without reproach,” Milei said.
“In this same house, which purports to defend the rights of women, we’ve allowed on the CEDAW Committee countries that punish their women just for showing their skin,” Milei added.
While many speeches at the General Assembly have been wrongfully critical of Israel, Milei stood out as a refreshing change, a voice of truth among a sea of lies.
“I was moved to hear the speech of the President of Argentina at the General Assembly. President Milei, you are a true friend of the State of Israel. In this hall where we were slandered all day, you showed courage and supported Israel! Thank you,” Danon wrote on X.
Milei also said the UN had become “powerless” in its key role to help prevent conflicts, and said the UN’s remit had become “distorted”.
“It has become a multi-tentacled Leviathan that seeks to decide what each nation state should do and how the citizens of the world should live,” he said.
“The same always happens with the ideas of the left. They design a model according to what human beings should do, and when things turn out differently, they repress, restrict and curtail their freedom.”
In April, following Iran’s bombardment against Israel, Milei expressed his “unwavering commitment to the State of Israel” and said he “firmly supports the State of Israel in defending its sovereignty, especially against regimes that promote terrorism and seek to destroy Western civilization.”

Majority of UK Jewry Disapprove of Netanyahu
Disgraceful that UK Jews believe that they can sit in the comfort of their lounges and have the audacity to approve/disapprove of a sitting government that was elected democratically in Israel by the people who are being targeted by Hamas Hizbolla and Iran.
Shame on these bombastic arrogant bunch of British Jewry who do not have the slightest idea of what is being experienced by the average Israeli and especially those on the front lines to engage in Israeli politics and criticize Netanyahu who has withstood pressure from the leftists ( who simply lost the vote and are therefore bitter), the US and now the Antisemitic (cobrynite) Lammy who couldn't wait to jump onto the Corbyn bandwagon and impose restrictions and condemnation of Israel.
Maybe the British Jews should use a bit of backbone (if they have any) and stand up to Lammy and stand with Israel but of course, they don't want do anything that would make them “” uncomfortable””
Shame on British Jewry !!
A shocking new poll reveals a dramatic shift in British Jewish opinion towards Israeli leadership.
According to the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR), an overwhelming 80% of British Jews now hold an unfavorable view of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with 65% expressing strong disapproval. Other right-wing politicians fared even worse, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich securing 78% and Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir receiving 77% disapproval. Only Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz showed positive net approval ratings at +12% and +10% respectively.
The poll also highlights challenges for Israel’s image among British Jewry, with 74% describing Israel’s current situation as “bad” or “very bad”. This marks a significant increase from 57% in April, indicating growing concern about Israel’s current war trajectory nearly a year after the October 7 Hamas massacre.
Analysis suggests that the recent killing of six hostages in a tunnel in Rafah is a contributing factor to this major shift in opinion, along with left-wing allegations that Netanyahu is prolonging the war for political survival.
Interestingly, political affiliation plays a crucial role in shaping these views. Conservative Party or Reform UK voters were found to be 22% more likely to approve of Netanyahu compared to those supporting other parties. Similarly, orthodox Jews showed higher approval rates for Israel’s current leader and his allies, while being more likely to disapprove of Lapid and the opposition.”
Chuster Rebbe Baruch Leifer Can't Stop Sexually Abusing Minors .. Arrested Again!
The Jerusalem District Court on Sunday allowed the publication of the fact that the "Rebbe of Chust," Baruch Leifer, father-in-law of sex offender Malka Leifer, was arrested again on suspicion of committing sexual offenses against people who stayed in his vicinity.
According to Kan, Leifer appealed to the court to prevent the publication of his name, but the request was denied.
He was arrested about two-and-a-half months ago on suspicion that he committed sexual offenses against a victim several years ago when she was a minor and over the course of several years. Leifer denied the allegations and claimed the offenses had already exceeded their statute of limitations.
Recently, a special court led by Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu issued a severe warning regarding Rabbi Leifer: "One of the most shocking cases that came to us is the story of Baruch Leifer, who boasts the title of 'Rebbe of Chust.' For years, several women and girls, as well as boys, complained about severe sexual assaults by him. In our opinion, he is a danger to the public and belongs behind bars, and it is a religious obligation for anyone harmed by him to contact the law authorities."
The Magen organization, which is supporting the victims, stated: "We thank the brave victim who decided to expose the harm and add her complaint to additional complaints against Leifer. We support all alleged victims of Leifer and encourage anyone harmed by him to file a complaint and thereby break the silence. We thank Rabbi Eliyahu's court for a decisive and courageous verdict that begins to bring justice for the victims."
