Antisemitism Watch - August 6, 2026, 11 PM Eastern

This episode of Antisemitism Watch covers a range of serious incidents and trends. We begin with the targeting of Italian Jewish teenagers in Bulgaria by extremists chanting Nazi slogans, and a violent antisemitic attack on a Jewish teen in Miami. Reports detail a conviction for arson at Berkeley Hillel and an assault on Israelis in Jenin, set against a backdrop of rising religious hate crimes nationally. On campuses, a new Canadian report reveals widespread antisemitism, while the U.S. Department of Education investigates San Francisco State and San Jose State Universities for alleged hostile environments. Legal action is also proceeding with a class-action lawsuit against McGill University. In politics, former President Trump accused a Democratic Senate nominee of intensely hating Jewish people, and concern grows in Denver over a socialist candidate's rhetoric blaming Israel for antisemitism. We also examine legislative efforts like the "Right to Worship Act" aimed at protecting houses of worship.Sources:- Algemeiner: https://www.algemeiner.com/2026/08/06/italian-jewish-teenagers-targeted-in-antisemitic-attack-at-bulgarian-summer-camp-amid-escalating-hostility-across-europe/- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58243- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58230- sfist.com: https://sfist.com/2026/08/06/day-around-the-bay-47/- cbsnews.com: https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/los-angeles-da-hate-crime-charges-religious/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-904808- instagram.com: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbrVU1nOdoz/- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/AJCGlobal/posts/antisemites-are-counting-on-good-people-to-grow-tired-to-lose-hope-to-stand-down/1602165405288807/- sfchronicle.com: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/sf-state-san-jose-antisemitism-probe-22378318.php- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-904836- eastbaytimes.com: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2026/08/06/san-diego-state-senior-living/- straitstimes.com: https://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/us-scrutinises-more-schools-over-admissions-practices-diversity-and-pro-palestinian-protests- timesofisrael.com: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/nearly-all-jewish-college-students-in-canada-experienced-or-saw-antisemitism-last-year-report/- thecanadianpressnews.ca: https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/judge-authorizes-class-action-by-jewish-students-against-mcgill/article_9342147b-bbb3-590c-b2b1-abcc35f418fd.html- union-bulletin.com: https://www.union-bulletin.com/news/national/us-department-of-education-launches-probe-into-antisemitism-at-san-jose-state-san-francisco-state/article_a53ffbac-b3af-54de-bfc6-ef665a96843b.html- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58245- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58238- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58241- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58242- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58234- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58227- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58228- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/article-904731- newsmax.com: https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/greg-steube-abdul-el-sayed-michigan/2026/08/06/id/1265311/- foxnews.com: https://www.foxnews.com/us/fox-news-antisemitism-exposed-newsletter-why-denvers-jews-terrified.amp- foxbusiness.com: https://www.foxbusiness.com/video/6402952407112- theguardian.com: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/aug/06/is-king-charles-a-white-briton-restore-britain-rupert-lowe-will-not-say- thefp.com: https://www.thefp.com/p/douglas-murray-tucker-carlson-10-point-plan- time.com: https://time.com/article/2026/08/06/trump-abdul-el-sayed-hate-communist/- JTA: https://www.jta.org/2026/08/06/politics/did-cori-bushs-focus-on-aipac-doom-her-missouri-democratic-primary-bid- Jewish...
