Antisemitism Watch - August 14, 2026, 05 AM Eastern

On Antisemitism Watch, a federal judge has dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit against Harvard University, ruling that allegations of antisemitism on campus were too isolated to prove civil rights violations. Host Rachel Adler reports on the ruling and the Justice Department's response. We also cover a fatal hit-and-run in Queens, New York, under investigation for alleged antisemitic motive, as the victim's husband calls for justice. Finally, we examine claims of media coverage disparity regarding violence against Jews in Judea and Samaria.Sources:- nationalreview.com: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/jewish-nyc-man-demands-justice-for-wife-killed-in-hit-and-run-by-alleged-antisemitic-vandal/- Israel Today - Telegram Channel: https://t.me/ILtoday/19813- yahoo.com: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-anti-semitism-lawsuit-against-184705110.html- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/NBCBayArea/posts/the-lawsuit-accused-harvard-of-failing-to-protect-jewish-students-during-pro-pal/1521639723331678/- nytimes.com: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/us/harvard-antisemitism-case-dismissed.html- fox17.com: https://fox17.com/news/nation-world/federal-judge-dismisses-dojs-antisemitism-lawsuit-against-harvard-civil-rights-act-title-vi-trump-administration-harmeet-dhillon- wnyc.org: https://wnyc.org/npr/g-s1-138721- wfaa.com: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/nation-world/harvard-university-antisemitism-lawsuit-dismissed/507-0ec34761-d37a-42ac-8128-37f7cf53f4da- washingtonpost.com: https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2026/08/13/trump-administrations-antisemitism-lawsuit-against-harvard-is-dismissed/- wgbh.org: https://www.wgbh.org/news/education-news/2026-08-13/mass-education-officials-hail-judges-dismissal-of-trump-lawsuit-alleging-antisemitism-at-harvard- cnn.com: https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/13/us/trump-administration-harvard-lawsuit-antisemitism-dismissed- cbsnews.com: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/harvard-antisemitism-lawsuit-dismissed-trump-administration/- forbes.com: https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2026/08/13/harvard-scores-major-win-as-judge-tosses-trump-administrations-antisemitism-lawsuit/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
