Antisemitism Watch - August 10, 2026, 09 AM Eastern

On Antisemitism Watch, we examine a disturbing link between political rhetoric and physical violence, as a Florida man admits to attacking a synagogue, citing NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's statements as motivation. The show also details a wave of federal investigations into antisemitism on college campuses, including at San Jose State, San Francisco State, and Brown University, which saw its president resign amid scrutiny. We also cover a settlement at Haverford College mandating antisemitism training and the reopening of an investigation into an alleged arson attack at Nigel Farage's home, alongside scrutiny of police conduct. Host Rachel Adler explores these incidents and the broader patterns they reveal.Sources:- theguardian.com: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2026/aug/10/labour-prisons-crisis-andy-burnham-reform-nigel-farage-latest-news-updates- townhall.com: https://townhall.com/news/amy-curtis/2026/08/10/synagogue-vandal-inspired-by-mamdanis-attacks-on-netanyahu-n2680965- goldrushcam.com: https://goldrushcam.com/sierrasuntimes/index.php/news/local-news/80607-president-trump-s-u-s-department-of-education-investigates-alleged-antisemitic-harassment-at-two-california-universities- dailysignal.com: https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/08/10/brown-university-next-president/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905073- washingtonexaminer.com: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4680588/zohran-mamdani-protect-jewish-new-yorkers/- weareiowa.com: https://www.weareiowa.com/article/news/local/plea-agreement-reached-in-des-moines-murder-trial/524-3069d9d4-6f9b-4039-b884-1d2146bd744f?live-blog-21014793-2026-08-10-does-criticising-actions-of-the-israeli-government-or-its-prime-minister-fuel-an- americanthinker.com: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/08/trump-is-crushing-birth-tourism-despite-his-supreme-court-setback/Music Attribution:Intro: Intro: Music by https://pixabay.com/users/dariocoiro-54756271/ Dario Coiro from PixabayOutro: Outro: Music by https://pixabay.com/users/muzaproduction-24990238/ Aleksandr Karabanov from Pixabay
