Antisemitism Watch - September 11, 2026, 01 PM Eastern

This episode of Antisemitism Watch covers escalating rhetoric and incidents worldwide. We analyze Israel's Consul General in New York comparing NYC Mayor Mamdani to Nazis, a critical report on antisemitism at ten U.S. universities, and a UCLA professor's condemnation of his university's 9/11 commemoration event. Political discourse is examined through VP JD Vance echoing divisive language and controversies within Florida's Democratic party. The persistent, evolving threat of antisemitic 9/11 conspiracy theories online is also discussed, alongside Toronto's mayor skipping a forum on Jew-hatred and the resolution of a Montreal shooting case where antisemitic motive was unproven. We conclude with increased security measures for the High Holy Days and a significant philanthropic gift to Brandeis University.Sources:- yahoo.com: https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/jewish-campus-life-crossing-point-130050387.html- nypost.com: https://nypost.com/2026/09/10/us-news/ucla-professor-blasts-university-for-hosting-lawyer-tied-to-sons-murderer/- haaretz.com: https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026-09-11/ty-article-magazine/.premium/at-two-jewish-summits-speakers-turn-fear-of-antisemitism-into-attacks-on-islam/000001a0-9103-d43d-a1b6-d5bfd8000000- broadandliberty.com: https://broadandliberty.com/2026/09/11/elephant-in-the-room-mccormick-speaks-at-rjc-event-local-lawyers-jfk-play-to-debut-in-phoenixville/- mediamatters.org: https://www.mediamatters.org/jd-vance/jd-vance-echoed-one-tucker-carlsons-most-notorious-comments-gop-midterm-convention- floridianpress.com: https://floridianpress.com/2026/09/as-antisemitic-rhetoric-increases-can-florida-democrats-retain-their-jewish-voters/- spiked-online.com: https://www.spiked-online.com/2026/09/11/the-dark-truth-about-9-11-conspiracy-theories/- adl.org: https://www.adl.org/resources/article/antisemitic-911-conspiracy-theories-endure-and-evolve-25-years-later- timesofisrael.com: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-september-11-2026/- canada.ca: https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/news/2026/09/statement-by-minister-miller-on-rosh-hashanah.html- thejewishnews.com: https://www.thejewishnews.com/news/toronto-mayor-skips-mayoral-debate-on-jew-hatred/article_a1e46c46-3b26-4778-a814-fbeb682badc5.html- jewishinsider.com: https://jewishinsider.com/2026/09/progressive-policy-institute-report-civics-education-antisemitism-israel/- nytimes.com: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/nyregion/high-holy-days-security-nyc.html- ajc.org: https://www.ajc.org/news/what-will-happen-because-of-what-we-do- JTA: https://www.jta.org/2026/09/11/ny/israeli-consul-general-ofir-akunis-rosh-hashanah-message-wake-up- blogs.timesofisrael.com: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/now-watch-what-he-does-with-them/- thecjn.ca: https://thecjn.ca/news/montreal-yeshiva-shooter-pleads-guilty-synagogue-arsonist-sentenced/- fortune.com: https://fortune.com/2026/09/11/billionaire-patriots-owner-robert-craft-10-million-donation-jewish-center-brandeis-university/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
