Antisemitism Watch - September 9, 2026, 05 AM Eastern

On Antisemitism Watch, we cover a physical assault in New York City where the NYPD is investigating an antisemitic attack involving a yarmulke being slapped off a man's head. In Australia, police are probing allegations of an antisemitic Nazi salute and online threats. We also examine the significant backlash faced by rapper Macklemore after his 'Free Palestine' and genocide accusations at a concert, and explore how the rise in global antisemitism following the October 7th attacks is prompting more Jews to consider aliyah to Israel.Sources:- weeklytimesnow.com.au: https://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/news/south-australia/davoren-park-man-arrested-for-nazi-salute-in-public/news-story/52b9c38bc965737455d544dfef50acd2- nypost.com: https://nypost.com/2026/09/08/us-news/nypd-hunting-for-antisemitic-brute-who-slapped-victims-yarmulke-off-in-nyc-attack/- nypost.com: https://nypost.com/2026/09/08/us-news/macklemore-faces-backlash-over-anti-israel-rant-at-ed-sheeran-show/- ynetnews.com: https://www.ynetnews.com/jewish-world/article/hkfiftruzeMusic 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
