Antisemitism Watch - August 10, 2026, 05 PM Eastern

On Antisemitism Watch, Haverford College faces scrutiny over its settlement addressing campus bias, drawing criticism from CAIR-Philadelphia for allegedly conflating criticism of Zionism with antisemitism. In Michigan, rising political tensions surround Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's rhetoric and convention safety fears, prompting a petition from Jewish leaders and sharp commentary from AG Dana Nessel and Rep.
