Antisemitism Watch reports on a weekend vandalism incident at a UC San Diego Jewish fraternity, now under investigation as a hate crime. We examine a state investigation into Yorktown High School, finding 'deliberate indifference' to antisemitic incidents, and a federal civil rights complaint against Colorado's Boulder Valley School District over severe harassment of a Jewish student. New ADL research reveals antisemitism increasingly manifesting within U.S. college classrooms and faculty networks. Plus, a look at over 1,300 abusive online posts targeting witnesses to Australia's Royal Commission on Antisemitism, and the U.S. Justice Department's 32-year delayed recognition of the Brooklyn Bridge shooting as an antisemitic attack.

A Jewish tourist was reportedly assaulted twice in Rome, with attackers shouting antisemitic slogans, prompting condemnation from Italy's Foreign Minister. In New York City, rabbis met with Mayor Zohran Mamdani to express concerns that his anti-Israel rhetoric is contributing to antisemitism and endangering the Jewish community, amid rising hate crimes. Meanwhile, a UK government review reveals Jewish school principals are prioritizing student safety over education due to escalating antisemitism and anti-Israel hostility affecting students nationwide.
