Antisemitism Watch - August 13, 2026, 05 AM Eastern

Antisemitism Watch reports on a weekend vandalism incident at a UC San Diego Jewish fraternity, now under investigation as a hate crime. We examine a state investigation into Yorktown High School, finding 'deliberate indifference' to antisemitic incidents, and a federal civil rights complaint against Colorado's Boulder Valley School District over severe harassment of a Jewish student. New ADL research reveals antisemitism increasingly manifesting within U.S. college classrooms and faculty networks. Plus, a look at over 1,300 abusive online posts targeting witnesses to Australia's Royal Commission on Antisemitism, and the U.S. Justice Department's 32-year delayed recognition of the Brooklyn Bridge shooting as an antisemitic attack.Sources:- sandiegouniontribune.com: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/08/11/antisemitic-graffiti-spray-painted-on-jewish-fraternity-students-home-being-investigated-as-hate-crime/- arlnow.com: https://www.arlnow.com/2026/08/12/report-alleges-history-of-antisemitism-with-limited-consequences-at-yorktown-hs/- adl.org: https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/new-adl-research-finds-antisemitism-taking-root-classrooms-and-faculty- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905330- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905244- thefp.com: https://www.thefp.com/p/virginia-high-school-antisemitism-investigation- forward.com: https://forward.com/news/844430/columbia-university-lawsuit-palestinian-antisemitism/- israelhayom.com: https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/08/13/mamdanis-anti-israel-rhetoric-spills-over-into-hostility-toward-nyc-jews-rabbi-warns/- theconversation.com: https://theconversation.com/testimony-as-a-target-how-witnesses-at-the-antisemitism-royal-commission-are-being-abused-online-289054- abc.net.au: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-13/former-jihadist-deradicalisation-antisemitism-inquiry-extremism/107031946- israelhayom.com: https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/08/12/32-years-later-us-recognizes-brooklyn-bridge-shooting-as-antisemitic-attack/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
