Antisemitism Watch - September 9, 2026, 01 PM Eastern

This week on Antisemitism Watch: Manhattan's District Attorney has indicted a suspect in antisemitic and anti-Black attacks at Central Synagogue. In Colorado, the Boulder Valley School District has agreed to sweeping systemic reforms following a settlement over antisemitic bullying. Rabbis across the U.S. report a deeply unsettling rise in antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment, leading to increased security preparations for the High Holy Days, while Toronto police also bolster patrols. Plus, over 5,000 leaders have signed an open letter rejecting the 'genocide in Gaza' charge, warning of its antisemitic impact, and a new Bill of Rights aims to combat persistent antisemitism in K-12 schools.Sources:- qns.com: https://qns.com/2026/09/antisemitic-graffiti-kew-gardens-bus-stop/- 5townscentral.com: https://5townscentral.com/2026/09/09/nypd-seeks-suspect-in-alleged-antisemitic-attack-on-mans-yarmulke/- westsiderag.com: https://www.westsiderag.com/2026/09/08/man-indicted-for-alleged-antisemitic-stabbings-on-the-upper-west-side-manhattan-da- denver7.com: https://www.denver7.com/news/local-news/in-your-community/boulder-county/boulder-valley-school-district-reaches-settlement-with-adl-family-over-civil-rights-complaint- x.com: https://x.com/ADL/status/2097701023598915888- ajc.org: https://www.ajc.org/news/jewish-students-bill-of-rights-to-help-parents-schools-combat-k-12-antisemitism- clevelandjewishnews.com: https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/jns/even-as-democrats-nominate-anti-israel-candidates-poll-suggests-67-of-jewish-voters-plan-to/article_f6d951ab-8bbe-5511-b0b3-57887accc599.html- combatantisemitism.org: https://combatantisemitism.org/special-features/analysis-25-years-later-antisemites-are-winning-the-war-to-rewrite-the-facts-of-9-11/- telegraph.co.uk: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09/09/miliband-playing-hands-anti-semites-extremists/- theguardian.com: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/sep/09/i-am-seen-as-a-marmite-figure-margaret-hodge-on-political-battles-victories-errors-and-regrets- kdhnews.com: https://kdhnews.com/news/nation/us-jews-feel-precarious-as-high-holy-days-approach-amid-antisemitism-fears-and-internal-divisions/article_67f385fd-703a-5355-8fe1-72729e0a4a8f.html- israelnationalnews.com: https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/432943- nypost.com: https://nypost.com/2026/09/08/us-news/macklemore-faces-backlash-over-anti-israel-rant-at-ed-sheeran-show/- creativecommunityforpeace.com: https://www.creativecommunityforpeace.com/blog/2026/09/08/rejectlie/- ADL: https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/adl-title-vi-settlement-agreement-colorado-school-district-leads-sweeping- vinnews.com: https://vinnews.com/2026/09/09/miliband-recalls-60-relatives-killed-in-holocaust-before-israel-measures/- latimes.com: https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2026-09-09/u-s-jews-feel-precarious-as-high-holy-days-approach-amid-antisemitism-fears-internal-divisions- junonews.com: https://www.junonews.com/p/toronto-police-to-enhance-security- seattletimes.com: https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation/us-jews-feel-precarious-as-high-holy-days-approach-amid-antisemitism-fears-and-internal-divisions/- manhattanda.org: https://manhattanda.org/d-a-bragg-announces-hate-crime-indictment-of-man-for-antisemitic-and-anti-black-attacks-at-central-synagogue/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
