This edition of Antisemitism Watch covers troubling rhetoric from political and media figures, including streamer Hasan Piker, who is reportedly advocating for purges and punishment and is described as displaying 'virulent antisemitism.' We also examine a new study detailing how School Resource Officers may use 'niceness as Whiteness' as a tactic to justify arrests, and report on a college settling a lawsuit by Jewish students amid 'ugly facts.' Additionally, an analysis frames antisemitism as a unique and enduring hatred.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rhetoric is creating security challenges and fueling antisemitism, according to NYPD and city sources.

On Antisemitism Watch, Rachel Adler reports on disturbing findings linking hundreds of potentially non-human X/Twitter accounts, traced to City Hall infrastructure, to the amplification of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's content, amidst rising antisemitic hate crimes. We examine a Florida man's hate crime charges for synagogue vandalism, which police say was motivated by Mamdani's rhetoric calling Netanyahu a 'war criminal.' The episode also delves into youth radicalization via online platforms like TikTok, illustrating how 'irony poisoning' can lead to antisemitic beliefs, and explores a White House briefing that framed confronting antisemitism as a moral and spiritual imperative for the nation's future.
