Antisemitism Watch - August 31, 2026, 05 PM Eastern

This episode of Antisemitism Watch reports on the complex landscape of rising antisemitism. Host Rachel Adler covers New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's response to antisemitic incidents, the fallout from a canceled Met Gala exhibition due to designer John Galliano's past remarks, and a memorial service for victims of the Heaton Park synagogue attack. We also look at efforts to combat online hate, concerns on college campuses, and institutional responses, including Oklahoma's offer to welcome Jewish families fleeing antisemitism.Sources:- bbc.co.uk: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2z4wlxj04o- jstreet.org: https://jstreet.org/press-releases/j-street-statement-opposing-h-r-4795/- instagram.com: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DctkK6JFIJQ/- Algemeiner: https://www.algemeiner.com/2026/08/31/on-antisemitism-many-democrats-mask-damaging-policies-empty-rhetoric/- foxnews.com: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6404364409112- jta.org: https://www.jta.org/2026/08/31/politics/all-of-us-have-to-bring-down-violence-wherever-we-see-it-el-sayed-says-following-address-to-jewish-democrats- hollywoodreporter.com: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/met-gala-john-galliano-out-1236685642/- stljewishlight.org: https://stljewishlight.org/news/news-local/st-louis-native-brad-lander-accused-israel-of-genocide-protesters-targeted-him-as-a-zionist-anyway/- hollywoodreporter.com: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/style/galliano-met-gala-fiasco-anna-wintour-1236685721/- dailygazette.com: https://www.dailygazette.com/oberacker-post-saluting-nazi-resurfaces-as-race-heats-up/article_64e4ac6e-ff6f-4913-9437-a767124fa3c8.html- thehill.com: https://thehill.com/tag/task-force-to-combat-anti-semitism/- thehill.com: https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/6061568-title-vi-investigations-college-funding/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-907152- ontheditch.com: https://www.ontheditch.com/jewish-representative-council-of-ireland-told-media-regulator/- Israel Today - Telegram Channel: https://t.me/ILtoday/19969- vinnews.com: https://vinnews.com/2026/08/31/oklahoma-governor-tells-trump-state-will-welcome-jewish-families-fleeing-antisemitism-in-canada/- collive.com: https://collive.com/back-to-shul-back-to-school-the-2026-security-reality-check/- thecjn.ca: https://thecjn.ca/opinion/intermarriage-angst-less-relevant-post-oct-7/- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/ChristiansUnitedforIsrael/posts/take-a-stand-against-antisemitism-by-attending-this-evening-of-solidarity-with-t/1504857645013799/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
