A Bronx man faces hate crime charges for disrupting Shabbat services at New York's Central Synagogue, assaulting congregants and damaging property. In Philadelphia, the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History was vandalized for the second time this year, highlighting a rising trend. On campuses, Haverford College settled a lawsuit addressing antisemitic intimidation, while Carnegie Mellon University faces scrutiny for disciplining students over pro-Palestinian messages on a free speech fence. The episode also touches on political controversy surrounding Rep. Rashida Tlaib's statements and broader trends of rising antisemitism worldwide.

On Antisemitism Watch, an Israeli envoy issues a severe condemnation, likening New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rhetoric to Nazi propaganda, a charge that comes as reports indicate a significant surge in antisemitic crimes in New York City. We also examine a new campaign challenging 'genocide' narratives against Israel, which names Mayor Mamdani, and detail harrowing verbatim accounts of antisemitism from Canadian university campuses. Plus, questions arise in a fatal Queens car crash case involving a suspect with alleged antisemitic history and vandalism charges, and a university website is altered following donor complaints about 'genocide' language.

On Antisemitism Watch, we begin with direct physical vandalism targeting a Saskatoon synagogue, where police have charged a man after an alleged antisemitic egging during services. A new Canadian report reveals a disturbing trend: nearly 96% of interviewed students experienced antisemitism on campus, with most feeling universities aren't taking the issue seriously. In legal news, a federal judge has dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit against Harvard University, ruling that alleged antisemitic incidents were too isolated to prove ongoing civil rights violations. We also cover developments in Germany's high antisemitism rates, the omission of an Israeli athlete's name by a Spanish broadcaster, and political rhetoric involving Dan Bilzerian and New York City figures.

The latest Antisemitism Watch covers a federal judge's dismissal of the Trump administration's lawsuit against Harvard University, citing insufficient evidence of antisemitism violations. We examine rising concerns over political rhetoric, including socialist factions in the Democratic Party, anti-Israel stances from candidates, and statements from public officials. The report also details a discrimination lawsuit filed at Columbia University, Haverford College's settlement to address campus antisemitism, the Museum of Jewish Heritage's definition of anti-Zionism, testimony on support for families dealing with online extremism, and a delegation of Israeli veterans visiting New York City campuses.

On Antisemitism Watch, a federal judge has dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit against Harvard University, ruling that allegations of antisemitism on campus were too isolated to prove civil rights violations. Host Rachel Adler reports on the ruling and the Justice Department's response. We also cover a fatal hit-and-run in Queens, New York, under investigation for alleged antisemitic motive, as the victim's husband calls for justice. Finally, we examine claims of media coverage disparity regarding violence against Jews in Judea and Samaria.

This week on Antisemitism Watch: A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit against Harvard University alleging failure to protect Jewish students, citing incidents as too isolated. The Anti-Defamation League has released a new report detailing concerning patterns of antisemitism among university faculty and curricula, launching an initiative to combat it. We also cover a tragic hit-and-run incident in New York allegedly perpetrated by an antisemitic vandal, alongside warnings from New York rabbis about climbing antisemitic hate crimes. Analysis explores a growing ideological convergence in political rhetoric, and we report on condemned antisemitic attacks in France.

On Antisemitism Watch, we report on a federal judge's dismissal of the Trump administration's lawsuit against Harvard University, finding insufficient evidence of ongoing antisemitism violations. We cover Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal's remarks on hosting a controversial speaker at the University of Washington and community concerns raised with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani regarding his rhetoric. Plus, a new World Jewish Congress study reveals significant social media platform failures in removing antisemitic content, and Tucker Carlson's claims about Ben Shapiro draw criticism.
