We also bring you analysis from Professor Paul Thomas's testimony to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, where he identified antisemitism as a 'common thread across forms of extremism' and discussed the evolving focus and challenges of the UK's Prevent counter-terrorism program, including undisclosed government research into antisemitism within its cases.Sources:- nytimes.com: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/11/nyregion/columbia-university-lawsuit-palestinians.html- australianjewishnews.com: https://www.australianjewishnews.com/liveblog_entry/antisemitism-the-main-extremist-belief-in-sa-prisons-program/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
