Antisemitism Watch - August 25, 2026, 09 AM Eastern

A new report from the Palestinian Feminist Collective and Progressive International makes disturbing allegations of systematic sexualized violence by Israel, including claims that dogs are trained to rape Palestinians, which has drawn comparisons to 'blood libel.' Meanwhile, popular streamer Hasan Piker faces backlash for remarks suggesting American Jews inviting violence upon themselves, complicating political races. In policy news, the Dominican Republic has adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism, becoming the seventh Latin American nation to do so, and London's Mayor has announced significant new funding to combat rising hate crimes. We also look at the closure of a 56-year-old investigation into a deadly antisemitic arson attack in Munich.Sources:- forward.com: https://forward.com/news/846644/hasan-piker-el-sayed-michigan-antisemitism/- seattlered.com: https://seattlered.com/uncategorized/jayapal-silent-hasan-piker-jews-inviting-violence/4119987- news24.com: https://www.news24.com/southafrica/crime-and-courts/most-unjust-judge-ive-ever-had-politician-attacks-judge-in-high-court-antisemitism-case-20260825-0706- youtube.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh0ymYQTJDQ- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/international/article-906438- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-906538- jewishrhody.com: https://www.jewishrhody.com/stories/a-historic-moment-dominican-republic-announces-adoption-of-ihra-antisemitism-definition,171156- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-906544- itongadol.com: https://itongadol.com/latinoamerica/republica-dominicana-adopta-la-definicion-de-antisemitismo-de-la-ihra-y-se-convierte-en-el-septimo-pais-de-america-latina-en-hacerlo- vinnews.com: https://vinnews.com/2026/08/25/dominican-republic-adopts-ihra-definition-of-antisemitism/- australianjewishnews.com: https://www.australianjewishnews.com/liveblog_entry/zero-tolerance-at-top-of-sport-must-flow-to-junior-leagues/- combatantisemitism.org: https://combatantisemitism.org/cam-news/human-dignity-is-indivisible-dominican-president-announces-adoption-of-ihra-antisemitism-definition-at-cams-latin-american-summit-in-santo-domingo/- counterterrorbusiness.com: https://counterterrorbusiness.com/news/25082026/record-funding-help-londoners-fight-hate-and-extremism- i24news.tv: https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/artc-dominican-republic-adopts-ihra-antisemitism-definition-announces-jewish-heritage-museum- tennessean.com: https://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/contributors/2026/08/25/antisemitism-changing-worship-nashville-synagogues/91445036007/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-906548- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-906463- afr.com: https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/a-court-decision-could-make-the-fight-against-antisemitism-harder-20260824-p60r30- theaustralian.com.au: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/legal-affairs/judges-serious-miscarriage-of-justice-warning-fails-to-sway-farhat-parole-case/news-story/4abffd7e6f7b7527b7f371cf0eb3aa0eMusic 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
