6 OCT 2026 · On this episode of Antisemitism Watch, we examine the UK Green Party's controversial resolution declaring Zionism inherently racist, drawing condemnation from Israeli leaders, British Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis, and Jewish advocacy groups. New York City's strategy to combat antisemitism faces scrutiny over significant funding for an anti-Israel organization, occurring as the NYPD reports a rise in antisemitic attacks. Senator Rick Scott's broad accusations against Democrats labeling them 'socialist and antisemitic' are also discussed. We report on twelve Jewish teachers in Ontario filing a Human Rights Tribunal claim seeking damages over alleged antisemitic incidents in schools. Plus, thousands of Jewish parents are reportedly leaving New York public schools due to hostile environments, and Texas campuses are addressing rising antisemitism with educational initiatives. We'll cover these stories and more, tracking antisemitism worldwide and the responses to it. Keywords: Antisemitism, IHRA definition, Zionism, UK Green Party, New York City, Mayor Mamdani, hate crimes, Ontario, Human Rights Tribunal, public schools, Texas campuses, political rhetoric.

5 OCT 2026 · On Antisemitism Watch, we begin with the disturbing escalation in Belleville, Ontario, where antisemitic flyers linked to the neo-Nazi Goyim Defense League appeared outside a synagogue, days after a Yom Kippur shooting. Experts warn online hate is leading to real-world harm. We also examine the UK's Green Party, which voted to classify Zionism as racism, sparking widespread criticism. Plus, a look at institutional responses, including a US appeals court hearing on the Trump administration's attempt to terminate Harvard grants amid allegations of antisemitism, and a critique of systemic failures for Jewish Canadians. Finally, we explore a new study on how rising antisemitism is impacting British Jewish identity and attachment to Israel.

4 OCT 2026 · This episode of Antisemitism Watch covers a reported plot to bomb a Manchester synagogue, with prosecutors alleging Iranian men conducted reconnaissance. We examine the UK Green Party's controversial adoption of a policy equating Zionism with racism, and allegations of antisemitic comments by French far-right leader Jordan Bardella. Additionally, New York City Jewish organizations criticize the mayor's new antisemitism strategy as insufficient, while Italy moves forward with potentially adopting the IHRA definition into law. We also review watchdog reports on global incidents and a judge's dismissal of a lawsuit against StopAntisemitism.

4 OCT 2026 · On this edition of Antisemitism Watch, we report on the indictment of two Iranian men for plotting a terrorist attack on a Manchester synagogue in the UK. Host Rachel Adler also covers criticism leveled against podcaster Tucker Carlson for his World War II remarks that appeared to justify Hitler's invasion of Poland. The program details the ongoing activities of a pro-Hamas campus group whose foreign affiliate is designated a terror front, and highlights a global report documenting over 100 antisemitic incidents, including a surge in online conspiracy theories. Finally, an analysis challenges the use of the term 'genocide' in relation to Gaza, citing mortality data.

4 OCT 2026 · On today's Antisemitism Watch, we report on a serious thwarted plot in Manchester, UK, where two men face terrorism charges for allegedly planning to bomb Jewish targets. We also cover offensive, antisemitic graffiti discovered at a public playground in Abington Township, Pennsylvania. Plus, the UK's Green Party is facing an antisemitism row over a motion declaring 'Zionism is racism,' and analysts warn that online hate, including antisemitism, is increasingly migrating to mainstream social media, posing risks of real-world violence.

3 OCT 2026 · This edition of Antisemitism Watch covers serious allegations of a terror plot targeting the Jewish community in Manchester, England, allegedly directed from Iran. Two Iranian nationals are charged with planning a homemade bomb attack and conducting surveillance on Jewish sites. We also report on the University of Toronto's cancellation of an anti-Israel event slated for October 7th due to safety concerns. In media news, a New Yorker book review sparked outrage with claims that Hebrew punctuation is a relic of a "brutal colonial system." In New York City, Jewish groups are criticizing Mayor Zohran Mamdani's antisemitism plan for failing to address anti-Zionist rhetoric. Finally, a Victoria man was sentenced to eight months in jail for defacing a synagogue with antisemitic messages, a ruling that addressed the distinction between criticizing Israel and targeting Jews.
