Antisemitism Watch - September 5, 2026, 09 AM Eastern

This episode of Antisemitism Watch covers a California court's decision to prosecute a man accused of making violent antisemitic threats against a Jewish community center. We also examine the controversy surrounding actor Mark Ruffalo, now defended by 170 Jewish figures over comments criticized for invoking antisemitic tropes. Reports include antisemitic abuse at the University of Exeter, concerns over the far-right AfD's election win in Germany, and judicial action on antisemitic threats and arson abroad. The episode concludes with IMPACT's new workshop empowering seniors to combat online antisemitism.Sources:- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-907630- ua.news: https://ua.news/en/world/u-kaliforniyi-suditimut-cholovika-za-pogrozi-strilianinoiu-v-ievreiskomu-tsentri- telegraph.co.uk: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09/05/non-jewish-woman-anti-semitic-abuse-exeter-students/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-907619- jewishrhody.com: https://www.jewishrhody.com/stories/el-sayed-and-vance-call-each-other-evil-while-both-handling-antisemitism-the-same-way,173268- Times of Israel (Telegram): https://t.me/TheTimesOfIsrael2022/9034- thej.ca: https://thej.ca/2026/09/05/federal-court-orders-release-of-secret-nazi-war-criminal-records/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-907618Music 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
