Antisemitism Watch - September 5, 2026, 09 PM Eastern

This episode of Antisemitism Watch covers a Montana man's plea of not guilty to charges of sending antisemitic death threats to Hawaii Governor Josh Green. We also examine the rising influence of Germany's far-right AfD party, with Jewish leaders expressing alarm. In politics and media, we look at how US officials evade disavowing controversial associates, and the mocking of the historical 'blood libel' trope by podcast hosts. Finally, actor Mark Ruffalo's defense against antisemitism claims is linked to the radical anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace.Sources:- facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/HawaiiNewsNow/posts/a-montana-man-accused-of-sending-antisemitic-death-threats-to-gov-josh-green-and/1594350776057970/- the-independent.com: https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/tv/reviews/the-box-review-gary-lineker-itv-b3044233.html- noticias.foxnews.com: https://noticias.foxnews.com/media/pod-save-america-hosts-mock-jd-vance-blood-libel-definition-botching- complex.com: https://www.complex.com/music/a/jaelaniturnerwilliams/kid-cudi-kanye-west-forgiveness-peter-rosenberg- timesofisrael.com: https://www.timesofisrael.com/el-sayed-and-vance-call-each-other-evil-while-both-handling-antisemitism-the-same-way/- youtube.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAUpMdmNgeI- yahoo.com: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/radical-group-mark-ruffalo-relying-203328966.html- timesofisrael.com: https://www.timesofisrael.com/german-far-right-afd-partys-projected-win-puts-jews-between-the-left-and-a-hard-place/- hawaiinewsnow.com: https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/09/05/montana-man-pleads-not-guilty-threatening-gov-green-family/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
