The US Department of Education has launched federal civil rights investigations into allegations of antisemitic harassment and retaliation at two educational institutions. Political tensions are high as U.S. Representatives Lawler and Pfluger accuse New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of antisemitism and call for him to skip the Sept. 11 memorial. We also cover campus leadership changes, international responses, and community advocacy efforts.

This episode of Antisemitism Watch details a "Death to Zionism" protest in Basel, Switzerland, where demonstrators equated Zionism with Nazism and defended Hamas. We also examine disturbing anonymous social media posts mocking the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination at U.S. universities, alongside rising security concerns for Jewish communities in New York City ahead of the High Holidays. The program reviews institutional responses, including a new international task force on combating antisemitism launched at the UN, a city commission adopting the IHRA definition, and legislative action in California. Finally, we cover planned community rallies and advocacy efforts.

This episode of Antisemitism Watch covers critical developments in the global fight against antisemitism. We report on the launch of a UN Task Force on Combating Antisemitism, amid a reported 136% rise in Jew-hatred. In Australia, university funding legislation may soon oblige institutions to adopt the IHRA definition. On US campuses, reports highlight the growing issue of "ambient antisemitism." We also examine political rhetoric, from streamer Hasan Piker's controversial statements and the response from figures like NYC Council Member Vickie Paladino, to concerns over VP JD Vance's ties to Tucker Carlson. New York City is also increasing security measures for the upcoming Rosh Hashanah holiday due to a significant rise in antisemitic hate crimes. Plus, positive steps like the establishment of Emory University's new antisemitism policy institute and interfaith solidarity efforts are highlighted.

This week on Antisemitism Watch: Manhattan's District Attorney has indicted a suspect in antisemitic and anti-Black attacks at Central Synagogue. In Colorado, the Boulder Valley School District has agreed to sweeping systemic reforms following a settlement over antisemitic bullying. Rabbis across the U.S. report a deeply unsettling rise in antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment, leading to increased security preparations for the High Holy Days, while Toronto police also bolster patrols. Plus, over 5,000 leaders have signed an open letter rejecting the 'genocide in Gaza' charge, warning of its antisemitic impact, and a new Bill of Rights aims to combat persistent antisemitism in K-12 schools.

On this episode of Antisemitism Watch, host Rachel Adler reports on the indictment of Raul Morales for attempted murder and assault as hate crimes following two July stabbings on New York's Upper West Side. We examine a new report detailing persistent antisemitism and institutional inaction in Canada, where Jews are targets of over 70% of religion-motivated hate crimes. Plus, an analysis of political rhetoric linked to rising hate crimes in the U.S., a warning from the UK's Chief Rabbi that government sanctions on Israeli settlements risk fueling antisemitism, advocacy efforts for Jewish students in K-12 schools, and growing community anxiety ahead of the High Holy Days.

On Antisemitism Watch, we cover a physical assault in New York City where the NYPD is investigating an antisemitic attack involving a yarmulke being slapped off a man's head. In Australia, police are probing allegations of an antisemitic Nazi salute and online threats. We also examine the significant backlash faced by rapper Macklemore after his 'Free Palestine' and genocide accusations at a concert, and explore how the rise in global antisemitism following the October 7th attacks is prompting more Jews to consider aliyah to Israel.

This week on Antisemitism Watch, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen was targeted with antisemitic threats and dual-loyalty tropes. In education, a federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Unified School District over allegedly antisemitic ethnic studies materials. We also examine scrutiny of Tucker Carlson's rhetoric, including his "goy slaves" comment, and JD Vance's defense of their friendship. Plus, updates on legislative action, increased security funding, hate crime indictments, and more.
