The account was operating under a false name, Adam Greenblatt, and used a photo of Goldberg that was lifted from his YouTube page, where he uploads Jewish music he performs.

But this account wasn't promoting Goldberg's music — it was posting politically charged anti-Israel content and spreading hate speech against black people.

Goldberg, 28, is one of a handful of Jewish people who were targeted the week of Aug. 19 in a coordinated scheme created by internet trolls to instigate conflict within the Jewish community by creating fake accounts to spread extreme political views and hate speech, according to victims and posts about the campaign from 4chan obtained by NBC News.

"They wanted to masquerade as Jewish people and sow the seeds of divisions," Goldberg said.
