This week on Antisemitism Watch: A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit against Harvard University alleging failure to protect Jewish students, citing incidents as too isolated. The Anti-Defamation League has released a new report detailing concerning patterns of antisemitism among university faculty and curricula, launching an initiative to combat it. We also cover a tragic hit-and-run incident in New York allegedly perpetrated by an antisemitic vandal, alongside warnings from New York rabbis about climbing antisemitic hate crimes. Analysis explores a growing ideological convergence in political rhetoric, and we report on condemned antisemitic attacks in France.Sources:- nationalreview.com: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/jewish-nyc-man-demands-justice-for-wife-killed-in-hit-and-run-by-alleged-antisemitic-vandal/- instagram.com: https://www.instagram.com/p/Db_1CEgnHPm/- homelandsecuritynewswire.com: https://www.homelandsecuritynewswire.com/dr20260813-new-resource-hub-confidential-reporting-channel-for-classroombased-antisemitism- thefp.com: https://www.thefp.com/p/caitlin-flanagan-aoc-egg-freezing-front-page- youtube.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYqwRuPXiRo- mynbc15.com: https://mynbc15.com/news/nation-world/maine-democrats-remove-reference-to-senate-candidate-graham-platner-speech-at-upcoming-labor-day-rally- kfdm.com: https://kfdm.com/news/nation-world/nypd-wont-provide-security-detail-for-mamdanis-wife-on-vacation-trip-to-middle-east-new-york-dea- nypost.com: https://nypost.com/2026/08/13/opinion/hidden-alliance-linking-tucker-carlson-and-hasan-piker-puts-us-in-mortal-danger/- nbc25news.com: http://nbc25news.com/news/nation-world/gallery/antisemitism-tracker-launches-initiative-to-combat-antisemitism-on-college-campuses-jewish-anti-defamation-league-universities-students-teachers-professors-faculty-staff- wcti12.com: https://wcti12.com/news/nation-world/antisemitism-tracker-launches-initiative-to-combat-antisemitism-on-college-campuses-jewish-anti-defamation-league-universities-students-teachers-professors-faculty-staff- wchstv.com: https://wchstv.com/news/nation-world/antisemitism-tracker-launches-initiative-to-combat-antisemitism-on-college-campuses-jewish-anti-defamation-league-universities-students-teachers-professors-faculty-staff- cbs2iowa.com: https://cbs2iowa.com/news/nation-world/antisemitism-tracker-launches-initiative-to-combat-antisemitism-on-college-campuses-jewish-anti-defamation-league-universities-students-teachers-professors-faculty-staff- abcnews4.com: https://abcnews4.com/news/nation-world/antisemitism-tracker-launches-initiative-to-combat-antisemitism-on-college-campuses-jewish-anti-defamation-league-universities-students-teachers-professors-faculty-staff- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/ynetglobal/posts/the-two-19-year-olds-were-convicted-of-glorifying-terrorism-after-filming-themse/1540315101465171/- pbs.org: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/judge-dismisses-trump-administration-lawsuit-alleging-antisemitism-at-harvard- the-independent.com: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/trump-harvard-lawsuit-jewish-students-b3032859.html- ntd.com: https://www.ntd.com/judge-dismisses-dojs-anti-semitism-lawsuit-against-harvard_1166119.html- telegraph.co.uk: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/08/13/trump-anti-semisism-lawsuit-harvard-dismissed-protect-jews/- nypost.com: https://nypost.com/2026/08/13/us-news/doj-case-accusing-harvard-of-not-protecting-jewish-israeli-students-dismissed-by-judge-who-says-incidents-too-isolated/- fox23maine.com: https://fox23maine.com/news/nation-world/federal-judge-dismisses-dojs-antisemitism-lawsuit-against-harvard-civil-rights-act-title-vi-trump-administration-harmeet-dhillon- cnn.com: https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/13/us/trump-administration-harvard-lawsuit-antisemitism-dismissed- highereddive.com: https://www.highereddive.com/news/dojs-antisemitism-lawsuit-against-harvard-dismissed/827845/...
