Antisemitism Watch - August 26, 2026, 09 AM Eastern

On Antisemitism Watch, I'm Rachel Adler. We begin with serious allegations against Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Arieh King, facing calls for criminal proceedings in the US over accusations of war crimes and incitement to genocide. On campuses, a Cornell student's antisemitic remarks and subsequent public support raise concerns about normalization. We also report on a surge of nearly 200 cyberattacks targeting Jewish organizations, utilizing advanced AI tools. Plus, a new watchdog report details coordinated influence strategies in Canada, and we cover disturbing online vandalism of Dolly Parton's Wikipedia page.Sources:- washingtonexaminer.com: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/community-family/4700007/austin-franco-shows-antisemitism-lost-stigma/- masslive.com: https://www.masslive.com/education/2026/08/mit-lays-out-vision-for-navigating-ai-in-higher-education-a-watershed-moment.html- jewishjournal.com: https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/391570/why-i-dont-care-about-antisemitism/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-906582- thejc.com: https://www.thejc.com/news/world/dolly-parton-wikipedia-page-vandalised-swastika-q3gmzplh- ejewishphilanthropy.com: https://ejewishphilanthropy.com/your-rabbis-voice-on-the-phone-is-not-always-your-rabbi/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-906548Music 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
