Antisemitism Watch - September 1, 2026, 09 PM Eastern

This episode of Antisemitism Watch features analysis of Vice President JD Vance's decision not to condemn Tucker Carlson's history of promoting antisemitic figures and rhetoric. We also report on the Metropolitan Museum of Art's cancellation of a John Galliano exhibition due to past antisemitic statements by the designer, and the legislative deadlock in California over clarifying how antisemitism is addressed in schools. Plus, backlash against a Jewish scholar leading a Catholic association, an alleged antisemitic incident in North Miami Beach, and California's move to recognize Jewish identity on state forms.Sources:- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/NBC6SouthFlorida/posts/surveillance-video-has-been-released-in-an-alleged-anti-semitic-incident-inside-/1603086297852357/- piedmontexedra.com: https://piedmontexedra.com/2026/09/long-talks-but-no-deal-to-modify-california-law-combating-antisemitism-in-schools- foxnews.com: https://www.foxnews.com/media/more-than-180-jewish-entertainers-rally-behind-actor-mark-ruffalo-protest-letter- mediamatters.org: https://www.mediamatters.org/jd-vance/tucker-carlson-helped-make-jd-vance-vp-refuses-condemn-his-antisemitism- allsides.com: https://www.allsides.com/story/politics-jd-vance-speaks-jewish-republicans-amid-tensions-over-antisemitism-and-israel- forward.com: https://forward.com/news/847928/catholic-biblical-association-amy-jill-levine-jewish/- npr.org: https://www.npr.org/2026/09/01/g-s1-141347/met-gala-john-galliano-exhibit-canceled- jewishpostandnews.ca: https://jewishpostandnews.ca/uncategorized/california-lawmakers-pass-bills-to-address-antisemitism-deem-jewish-an-ethnicity-and-protect-religious-observance/- jewishpostandnews.ca: https://jewishpostandnews.ca/uncategorized/dara-horns-bitter-syllabus-for-solving-antisemitism/- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/groups/279256568436474/posts/1040482608980529/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
