On Antisemitism Watch, we report on Pakistan's Defense Minister calling Israel a 'common threat' and invoking antisemitic tropes. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rhetoric is creating security challenges and fueling antisemitism, according to NYPD and city sources. Alarming expansion of Palestinian Authority forces raises fears of a 'Jewish genocide of Holocaust proportions.' We also cover Toronto police arresting eight for protest-related hate speech, a Canadian report finding 95% of Jewish students face antisemitism, long-term trends in France, and campus legal actions.Sources:- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-904995- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/philadelphiainquirer/posts/the-college-settled-a-2024-lawsuit-alleging-it-failed-to-adequately-support-jewi/1506409668182421/- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/Mactaskforce/videos/a-new-survey-from-the-department-of-canadian-heritage-paints-a-disturbing-pictur/1068951878932803/- haaretz.com: https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/2026-08-09/ty-article/.premium/nearly-all-canadian-jewish-university-students-faced-antisemitism-survey-finds/0000019f-e6fa-dfd7-a19f-e7fea8850000- forward.com: https://forward.com/news/844100/el-sayed-israel-aid-jewish-voters/- allisraelnews.com: https://allisraelnews.com/antisemitism-row-erupts-after-british-right-wing-activist-appears-to-suggest-former-political-ally-farage-was-bought-by-jews- allisraelnews.com: https://allisraelnews.com/nypd-sources-warn-mamdanis-rhetoric-could-turn-netanyahus-nyc-visit-into-security-nightmare- allisraelnews.com: https://allisraelnews.com/blog/is-a-jewish-genocide-being-quietly-planned-for-judea-and-samaria- allisraelnews.com: https://allisraelnews.com/pakistan-defense-chief-calls-israel-common-threat-after-new-saudi-turkey-defense-pact- inquirer.com: https://www.inquirer.com/education/haverford-college-antisemitism-settlement-terms-20260809.html- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-905013Music 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
