Antisemitism Watch - August 21, 2026, 09 PM Eastern

Antisemitism Watch reports on a wave of antisemitic incidents, including a hate crime attack at New York's Central Synagogue and an assault on a Jewish couple in Florida. Host Rachel Adler examines the troubling promotion of neo-Nazi ideology by Tucker Carlson's favored historian, Darryl Cooper, and a heated diplomatic exchange where Israel's PMO labeled Turkish President Erdogan an "antisemitic dictator." Coverage also includes concerns over antisemitism at Harvard University, the Anti-Defamation League calling Chicago DSA's endorsement criteria "antisemitism," and a report detailing social media platforms' varying effectiveness in removing hate content.Sources:- nydailynews.com: https://www.nydailynews.com/2026/08/21/nypd-commissioner-jessica-tisch-speaks-midtown-synagogue-hate-attack/- vinnews.com: https://vinnews.com/2026/08/21/deeply-disturbing-unacceptable-surfside-fla-rabbi-says-of-alleged-antisemitic-assault/- aol.com: https://www.aol.com/articles/fox-news-campus-radicals-newsletter-201950000.html- noticias.foxnews.com: https://noticias.foxnews.com/opinion/david-marcus-transportation-secretary-duffy-right-harvard-aint-what-it-used-be.amp- france24.com: https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20260821-middle-east-live-hormuz-shipping-traffic-falls-as-iran-us-talks-stall- hotair.com: https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/08/21/promoting-nazi-sympathizers-is-a-bad-thing-n3818250- instagram.com: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcUdV4_JKS1/- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/WashingtonExaminer/posts/nycs-antisemitism-office-cannot-protect-jewish-residents-if-officials-fear-termi/1455994979730389/- cp24.com: https://www.cp24.com/news/world/2026/08/21/israel-pm-calls-turkiyes-erdogan-antisemitic-dictator/- timesofisrael.com: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/netanyahus-office-slams-antisemitic-dictator-erdogan-after-turkey-calls-for-pms-arrest/- jns.org: https://www.jns.org/news/u-s-news/exclusive-report-finds-tiktok-has-best-response-to-jew-hatred-then-instagram-x- news.wttw.com: https://news.wttw.com/2026/08/21/chicago-s-democratic-socialists-back-2-city-council-challengers-while-declining-endorse- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/democracynow/videos/doj-whistleblower-decries-antisemitism-probes-into-universities/1555455752626889/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
