31 OCT 2026 · On Antisemitism Watch, host Rachel Adler reports on a controversial six-month suspended sentence in France for an Irish man convicted of antisemitic death threats against an Australian Jewish couple, including "shame Hitler didn't finish the job." Jewish organizations condemned the sentence as too lenient. We also cover a second violent incident at a Montreal synagogue, a congressional report alleging the American Psychological Association was 'co-opted' by antisemitic activists, and new policy developments in California and Australia aimed at tracking and combating antisemitism. Plus, updates on antisemitism as a key issue in Michigan's Senate race and political commentary from Nancy Pelosi. We also examine advocacy within the National Education Association.

30 OCT 2026 · Antisemitism Watch reports on rising threats, as a Charlotte man faces federal charges for mailing antisemitic letters threatening violence. In Colorado, a suspect has pleaded guilty to hate crimes resulting in death for a fatal firebombing, while a French court issued a suspended sentence for justifying crimes against humanity. The American Psychological Association is found to have antisemitism 'embedded' in its ranks, and the Philadelphia School District faces scrutiny over its social studies curriculum. We also examine surges in antisemitism in the Czech Republic, incidents in Brazilian schools, and the political impact of antisemitism on the U.S. landscape, alongside condemnations of anti-Israel signs at an NHL game.

30 OCT 2026 · Two employees were killed at the Jewish Museum in Washington in a violent attack on May 21, 2025, amid rising antisemitic incidents across the U.S. In education, the Philadelphia School District is terminating its social studies curriculum director over alleged antisemitism, while a Long Island middle school investigates swastika graffiti. In politics, Nancy Pelosi criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for their statements on Israel, which she called "wrong." Meanwhile, the DOJ's Antisemitism Task Force is conducting a national tour, and the Trump administration has reinforced IHRA definition policies. A debate also continues in Australia about the line between progressive criticism of Israeli policies and antisemitism.

30 OCT 2026 · Today on Antisemitism Watch, we lead with the guilty plea of Mohamed Sabry Soliman to federal hate crime charges for a deadly firebombing attack on a pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado. Then, a federal civil rights complaint alleges prolonged antisemitic harassment of a student at Arizona's Desert Shadows Middle School, with the school district accused of failing to respond. In Australia, the nation's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism has proposed new oversight for public broadcasters' coverage of the Gaza conflict. We also look at a report detailing alleged antisemitism within the American Psychological Association, admissions from UCLA regarding campus antisemitism, extremist rhetoric from Nick Fuentes, and dialogue on rising antisemitism in the Democratic Party.

29 OCT 2026 · Antisemitism Watch covers a deadly terror attack on Bondi Beach, Australia, where 15 were reportedly shot dead by two gunmen in an Isis-inspired incident. In the Czech Republic, nearly 4,700 antisemitic incidents were recorded in 2024, including an attempted synagogue bombing. The U.S. Department of Justice's fight against antisemitism is highlighted with a nationwide tour and a lawsuit against UCLA alleging a hostile work environment, which the university is now seeking to dismiss. Also discussed: UK policy on IHRA and anti-Zionism, campus criticisms at Swarthmore College, political rhetoric in Michigan, and warnings from New Zealand's Holocaust Centre about normalizing hate.

29 OCT 2026 · Federal hate crime charges have been filed against Anna Mochalova for allegedly stabbing two Jewish men in Manhattan's Diamond District with a syringe. In Germany, the new federal antisemitism commissioner warns of an "alarming resurgence" of anti-Jewish hatred, as incident numbers reach record highs. Allegations of physical and professional threats against Jewish interns have emerged against the chair of the DOJ's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. We also cover calls for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to condemn political ads invoking antisemitic stereotypes, comedian Nabil Abdulrashid facing criticism for comments made during a stand-up set, and ongoing efforts to combat antisemitism in the UK, Canada, and Australia. Plus, Holocaust survivors advocate for action in Ottawa, and actor Mandy Patinkin links Jewish safety to democracy.
