Antisemitism Watch - September 3, 2026, 09 AM Eastern

This episode of Antisemitism Watch details a significant rise in antisemitic incidents in Spain, with a 14.5% increase reported in 2025. We examine how Senator Ted Cruz has publicly labeled Tucker Carlson "the most dangerous demagogue in America," warning of the dangers of antisemitism on the right. The program also covers the concerning trend in Australian politics where "Zionist" is being used as a proxy for "Jew," echoing historical antisemitic conspiracy theories. Additional reports include explicit hate speech at a combat sports event, criticism of cultural figures like Anna Wintour for engaging with those convicted of antisemitic remarks, and the hacking of a major executive's social media account for spreading antisemitic slurs.Sources:- nypost.com: https://nypost.com/2026/09/02/opinion/gallianos-met-gala-exit-letters/- worldisraelnews.com: https://worldisraelnews.com/spains-antisemitism-crisis-deepens-as-anti-jewish-incidents-surge-14-5-new-report-finds/- timesofindia.indiatimes.com: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/youre-causing-antisemitism-pro-israel-activist-confronts-nyc-mayor-mamdani-at-brooklyn-jewish-store/articleshow/133736315.cms- youtube.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7teilVEUIb0- jfeed.com: https://www.jfeed.com/news-world/ted-cruz-tucker-carlson-feud-1- wonderwall.com: https://www.wonderwall.com/politics/donald-trump-ally-laura-loomer-warns-tucker-carlson-albatross-jd-vance-strong-condemnation/- jewishjournal.com: https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/391770/conspiracy-theories-have-never-been-good-for-the-jews-they-wont-be-good-for-israel/- clickorlando.com: https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2026/09/02/the-crypto-casino-behind-the-kickboxing-event-that-kicked-up-controversy/- independent.ie: https://www.independent.ie/business/irish-business/social-media-hack-reported-to-gardai-after-antisemitic-posts-appear-on-aig-executives-x-account/a/160891159.html- thenightly.com.au: https://thenightly.com.au/politics/jeremy-leibler-anti-zionism-is-a-new-word-for-an-ancient-prejudice-c-22817245- theaustralian.com.au: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/legal-affairs/commissioner-virginia-bell-urged-to-release-secret-afp-funding-assessment/news-story/1e3755c93269170bce9de8610d8cc29eMusic 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
