This episode of Antisemitism Watch covers a civil rights lawsuit against Columbia University alleging the university amplified targeting of Palestinians and acted with deliberate indifference. We also examine a new ADL report detailing antisemitic behavior by faculty in college classrooms nationwide, and the arrest of a South Carolina man for posting online antisemitic threats and Nazi imagery. Plus, a look at social media platform failures in removing hate speech and concerns over rhetoric from New York City's mayor.Sources:- fox5sandiego.com: https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/crime-stoppers-ucsd-antisemitism-slurs/- jns.org: https://www.jns.org/news/u-s-news/south-carolina-man-charged-over-violent-antisemitic-social-media-posts- foxnews.com: https://www.foxnews.com/culture/campus-antisemitism-extends-beyond-student-protests-classrooms-adl-warns- highereddive.com: https://www.highereddive.com/news/columbia-faces-discrimination-lawsuit-from-palestinian-employees-and-studen/827738/- coloradopolitics.com: https://www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/08/12/boulder-valley-school-district-introduces-new-policies-following-antisemitism-lawsuit/- jewishpress.com: https://jewishpress.com/accusations-after-rabbi-zalman-leib-teitelbaums-warning-against-vilifying-political-opponents/- jns.org: https://www.jns.org/news/u-s-news/ive-always-condemned-antisemitism-deputy-dem-leader-of-ny-state-assembly-says-after-new-york-post-mentions-him-in-story-on-jew-hatred- jns.org: https://www.jns.org/news/u-s-news/worried-for-our-brothers-and-sisters-jews-near-nyc-say-of-mamdanis-mayorship- clevelandjewishnews.com: https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/jns/worried-for-our-brothers-and-sisters-jews-near-nyc-say-of-mamdani-s-mayorship/article_ac209862-f06c-51d9-a478-b10b3ffb2670.html- jns.org: https://www.jns.org/news/world/majority-of-antisemitic-social-media-posts-reported-by-jewish-communities-remain-online-study-finds- thefp.com: https://www.thefp.com/p/gen-z-rising-antisemitism- chroniclelive.co.uk: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/it-would-restore-faith-humanity-34445498Music 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
