Antisemitism Watch - August 7, 2026, 05 AM Eastern

This episode of Antisemitism Watch reports on a violent physical assault against a Jewish teenager in Miami, where the assailant allegedly shouted hate speech before being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon with prejudice. We examine rising antisemitic hate crimes in New York City, which now constitute 70 percent of all hate crimes, and a lenient sentence for a man who rammed his car into a Brooklyn synagogue. The program also covers findings from a Canadian study revealing widespread antisemitism on university campuses, with nearly all Jewish students reporting incidents. We look at political and media rhetoric, including concerning statements from figures like Melat Kiros and Abdul El-Sayed, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's reported sensitivity to criticism. Finally, we discuss the institutional response to extremism referrals in Victoria, Australia, and the ongoing debate about the line between criticism of Israel and antisemitism.Sources:- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-904808- whmi.com: https://www.whmi.com/news/fox/fox-news-antisemitism-exposed-newsletter-why-denvers-jews-terrified- israelnationalnews.com: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/431343- abc.net.au: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-07/top-perth-school-suspends-students-over-antisemitic-group-chat/107010706- worldisraelnews.com: https://worldisraelnews.com/96-of-jewish-college-students-in-canada-have-experienced-antisemitism-on-campus/- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58260- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58261- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58265- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58272- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58254- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58255- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58256- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58257- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58258- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-904816- ilfoglio.it: https://www.ilfoglio.it/en/politics/2026/08/07/news/john-fettermans-handbook-on-resisting-the-anti-semitic-left--404262- vinnews.com: https://vinnews.com/2026/08/06/mamdanis-trademark-smile-masks-a-politician-consumed-by-criticism-ny-post-reports/- americanthinker.com: https://www.americanthinker.com/watch/featured/2026/08/jd-vance-discusses-el-sayed-s-win-and-socialism-s-rise/- Israel Today - Telegram Channel: https://t.me/ILtoday/19772- Times of Israel (Telegram): https://t.me/TheTimesOfIsrael2022/8754- Israel Today - Telegram Channel: https://t.me/ILtoday/19771- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58262- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58266- Hananya Naftali (Telegram): https://t.me/hnaftali/24080- Reddit - r/Israel: https://www.reddit.com/r/Israel/comments/1vhtgbq/question_about_religious_views_in_israel_on_west/- gdnonline.com: https://www.gdnonline.com/Details/1402741- coastreporter.net: https://www.coastreporter.net/opinion/letters-conflating-protest-and-antisemitism-12637219- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58273- jewishinsider.com: https://jewishinsider.com/2026/08/ludo-hood-diplomat-u-s-iran-antisemitism-ukraine-russia-oct-7/- australianjewishnews.com: https://www.australianjewishnews.com/hearing-examines-drivers-of-antisemitism/- schoolsweek.co.uk: https://schoolsweek.co.uk/innovative-schemes-to-tackle-antisemitism-in-education-awarded-1m-by-dfe/- ajc.org: https://www.ajc.org/news/ajc-statement-on-the-appointment-of-californias-first-office-of-civil-rights-director- abc.net.au: https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/worldtoday/royal-commission-examines-imam-s-speech/107009430- Jewish News 24 (Telegram): https://t.me/JewishNews24/58267- newsnationnow.com: https://www.newsnationnow.com/katie-pavlich-tonight/lox-loaded-jewish-americans-gun-safety/- Jewish...
