Antisemitism Watch - August 11, 2026, 05 PM Eastern

An investigation into Yorktown High School in Virginia found 'deliberate indifference' to antisemitism, uncovering incidents of harassment and threats. In Europe, a Jewish tourist was attacked twice in Rome for wearing a kippah, while Israeli tourists in Montenegro were chased and subjected to antisemitic slurs. Meanwhile, a co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America has drawn condemnation for calling the October 7th attacks 'largely inevitable.' We also cover rising hate crimes in NYC, concerns over campus antisemitism, and the debate around anti-Zionist rhetoric.Sources:- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905175- thehawk.in: https://www.thehawk.in/news/world/italy-jewish-tourist-attacked-in-rome-for-wearing-kippah- stljewishlight.org: https://stljewishlight.org/antisemitism/hecklers-attack-klezmer-band-for-refusing-to-say-free-palestine/- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/UCSanDiego/posts/uc-san-diego-condemns-an-off-campus-antisemitic-and-racist-incident-targeting-st/1513893274111587/- instagram.com: https://www.instagram.com/p/Db5vACACmSx/- yellowscene.com: https://yellowscene.com/2026/08/11/parents-community-members-and-educators-speak-out-against-the-adls-role-in-bvsd-schools/- thefp.com: https://www.thefp.com/p/virginia-high-school-antisemitism-investigation- pamelanadell.com: https://www.pamelanadell.com/news/tag/antisemitism-on-college-campuses/page/2/- thepostmillennial.com: https://thepostmillennial.com/jewish-leaders-demand-michigan-dems-condemn-antisemitism-at-upcoming-convention- westernjournal.com: https://www.westernjournal.com/watch-longtime-clinton-advisor-blasts-todays-dems-group-lunatics-basically-illiterate-uninformed-watching-msnow/- patriotpost.us: https://patriotpost.us/articles/129831-tuckers-third-party-posturing-2026-08-11- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905151- rawstory.com: https://www.rawstory.com/jd-vance-rod-dreher/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905228- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905236- psnews.ro: https://psnews.ro/exclusiv-conspiratiile-de-pe-tiktok-devin-pericol-public-daca-statul-nu-intervine-vom-avea-atacuri-si-mai-grotesti/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905206- youtube.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IeAtdOunn0- jewishpress.com: https://jewishpress.com/mamdani-meets-with-rabbis-ahead-of-high-holy-days/- ynetnews.com: https://www.ynetnews.com/jewish-world/article/h1b11bp00izl- worldisraelnews.com: https://worldisraelnews.com/watch-over-1000-pro-israel-activists-gather-in-washington-dc-to-learn-how-to-combat-antisemitism/amp/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
