Antisemitism Watch - September 10, 2026, 01 PM Eastern

This week on Antisemitism Watch, London's Metropolitan Police are increasing security for the Jewish High Holy Days following a 23% surge in antisemitism. The US Department of Education has launched federal civil rights investigations into allegations of antisemitic harassment and retaliation at two educational institutions. Political tensions are high as U.S. Representatives Lawler and Pfluger accuse New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of antisemitism and call for him to skip the Sept. 11 memorial. We also cover campus leadership changes, international responses, and community advocacy efforts.Sources:- herts.police.uk: https://www.herts.police.uk/news/hertfordshire/news/2026/september-2026/man-charged-after-nazi-salute-outside-synagogue/- hillsdalecollegian.com: https://hillsdalecollegian.com/2026/09/wall-street-journal-writer-to-visit-speak-on-campus/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/influencers-26/50jews-26/article-907920- foxnews.com: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/zohran-mamdani-urged-skip-new-york-citys-9-11-memorial-vile-antisemite- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-908322- haaretz.com: https://www.haaretz.com/life/books/2026-09-10/ty-article-magazine/.premium/why-this-historian-thinks-were-in-a-very-dangerous-moment-for-american-jews/000001a0-804c-d825-afb5-d47cd7670000- aljazeera.com: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/10/un-expert-albanese-protesters-warn-against-italys-anti-semitism-bill- ADL: https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/federal-civil-rights-investigations-opened-two-jewish-schools-over-alleged- freebeacon.com: https://freebeacon.com/trump-administration/shut-her-jewish-a-up-trump-administration-launches-civil-rights-probe-of-california-school-district-new-york-drama-school-over-antisemitic-bullying/- clevelandjewishnews.com: https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/jns/performing-arts-college-subject-of-federal-probe-for-alleged-retaliation-against-jewish-student-who-reported/article_2801fbcd-f390-5b96-8e4e-e1a0afee64d2.html- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/influencers-26/50jews-26/article-908125- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/iltvisraelnews/videos/israels-un-ambassador-danny-danon-announced-the-launch-of-a-new-task-force-on-co/1094719433033138/- dailymail.com: https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16120821/Met-police-major-security-operation-Jewish-holy-days.html- clevelandjewishnews.com: https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/jns/justice-department-moves-to-drop-case-against-journalist-who-exposed-kanye-west-jew-hatred-remarks/article_d19c4709-92be-53d0-b646-4d845b526b80.html- timesofisrael.com: https://www.timesofisrael.com/major-jewish-groups-announce-nyc-rally-against-antisemitism-during-un-general-assembly/- pressofatlanticcity.com: https://pressofatlanticcity.com/news/local/education/article_7a670e61-a484-4f4a-a226-521725202f61.htmlMusic 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
