Antisemitism Watch - September 9, 2026, 09 AM Eastern

On this episode of Antisemitism Watch, host Rachel Adler reports on the indictment of Raul Morales for attempted murder and assault as hate crimes following two July stabbings on New York's Upper West Side. We examine a new report detailing persistent antisemitism and institutional inaction in Canada, where Jews are targets of over 70% of religion-motivated hate crimes. Plus, an analysis of political rhetoric linked to rising hate crimes in the U.S., a warning from the UK's Chief Rabbi that government sanctions on Israeli settlements risk fueling antisemitism, advocacy efforts for Jewish students in K-12 schools, and growing community anxiety ahead of the High Holy Days.Sources:- hudsonvalley.news12.com: https://hudsonvalley.news12.com/man-indicted-for-2-hate-crime-stabbings-near-nyc-synagogues- vinnews.com: https://vinnews.com/2026/09/08/man-indicted-in-alleged-antisemitic-stabbing-attack-on-upper-west-side/- ADL: https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/jewish-students-bill-rights-helps-communities-fight-k-12-antisemitism- jewishfederations.org: https://www.jewishfederations.org/blog/all/jewish-students-bill-of-rights-helps-communities-fight-k-12-antisemitism-526238- foxnews.com: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/william-bennett-listen-founding-fathers-reject-antisemitism- thestar.com: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/city-hall/mayoral-candidates-vow-to-fight-antisemitism-as-olivia-chow-skips-event/article_6004fac1-342c-4ba1-8089-2a7c8d837811.html- ibtimes.co.uk: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/uk-sanctions-israeli-settlements-antisemitism-concerns-1818635- ca.news.yahoo.com: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/andrew-bennett-trumps-consideration-pathway-100018309.html- accessnorthga.com: https://accessnorthga.com/ap_article/us-jews-feel-precarious-as-high-holy-days-approach-amid-antisemitism-fears-and-internal-divisions- abc4.com: https://www.abc4.com/news/national/ap-us-jews-feel-precarious-as-high-holy-days-approach-amid-antisemitism-fears-and-internal-divisions/amp/- apnews.com: https://apnews.com/article/us-jews-high-holy-days-antisemitism-israel-3dbe798ced69f57cf4b0c893fa20952dMusic 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
