Antisemitism Watch - August 18, 2026, 05 AM Eastern

On today's Antisemitism Watch, we report on a Jewish student's legal battle for protection against antisemitism at Berlin's Free University, with an appeal filed after an initial court ruling. We also examine critiques of the IHRA definition of antisemitism from an Australian judge. Plus, a new initiative to teach ethics in education is proposed to enhance social cohesion.Sources:- yahoo.com: https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/dispute-between-jewish-student-berlin-090341932.html- thehub.ca: https://thehub.ca/2026/08/18/how-tmu-didnt-stop-jewish-students-and-staff-from-being-harassed-allowed-antisemitism-to-flourish-external-report/- pressreader.com: https://www.pressreader.com/canada/the-globe-and-mail-bc-edition/20260818/281694031615114- afr.com: https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/education/universities-revive-face-to-face-testing-to-curb-ai-cheating-20260818-p60pbp- afr.com: https://www.afr.com/politics/detached-from-reality-judge-slams-segal-s-test-for-antisemitism-20260818-p60pg2- afr.com: https://www.afr.com/politics/gonski-s-cure-for-hate-ethics-classes-for-students-and-business-20260818-p60pfnMusic 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
