Antisemitism Watch - August 22, 2026, 09 AM Eastern

Antisemitism Watch reports on a surge of over 250 antisemitic and anti-Israel incidents in New York City schools since October 7, 2023, with a recent uptick noted since Mayor Zohran Mamdani's January 2026 inauguration. We examine the controversies surrounding Mayor Mamdani's rhetoric, including his statements on Israel and refusal to appoint Jewish officials, and his potential role at the 9/11 commemoration. The program also covers the Metropolitan Museum of Art's upcoming exhibition on designer John Galliano, which will address his past antisemitic tirades and the institution's approach to confronting controversial legacies.Sources:- washingtonstand.com: https://washingtonstand.com/article/report-antisemitism-is-thriving-in-mamdanis-nyc- youtube.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp3iKlW26AE- townhall.com: https://townhall.com/columnists/larryprovost/2026/08/22/changed-my-mind-mamdani-belongs-at-world-trade-center-ceremony-n2681668- modernghana.com: https://www.modernghana.com/videonews/france24/1/703874- mezha.net: https://mezha.net/eng/bukvy/454e9f05_the_met_will/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
