  • Manhattan Stabbing Amid Hate Crime Probe
    22 Oct 2026
    On Antisemitism Watch, a Jewish man is stabbed in Manhattan's Diamond District in an attack being investigated as an antisemitic hate crime, while authorities uncover a plot involving pipe bombs targeting a Utah synagogue. In education news, a congressional report criticizes K-12 curricula for antisemitism, prompting a Philadelphia school district overhaul, while the UK government implements new measures in schools, drawing union criticism. We also examine novelist Susan Abulhawa's alleged antisemitism and Holocaust denial, official Palestinian Authority TV lauding a Nazi collaborator, and legal actions over alleged Holocaust inversion, including a defamation lawsuit against a UN rapporteur.Sources:- nydailynews.com: https://www.nydailynews.com/2026/10/22/man-stabbed-in-back-with-syringe-on-manhattan-street-in-anti-semitic-hate-crime/- jewishchronicle.timesofisrael.com: https://jewishchronicle.timesofisrael.com/nypd-probing-stabbing-of-jewish-man-in-diamond-district-as-hate-crime/- pjmedia.com: https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/10/22/new-york-woman-stalks-and-stabs-jewish-man-n4958566- justthenews.com: https://justthenews.com/nation/extremism/fbi-alleges-teen-plotted-assassination-texas-congressman-terrorist-attack-behalf- justthenews.com: https://justthenews.com/nation/crime/utah-man-charged-attempted-hate-crime-after-allegedly-threatening-blow-synagogue- chalkbeat.org: https://www.chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2026/10/22/district-revamps-social-studies-curriculum-amid-congress-antisemitism-probe/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-912596- newsobserver.com: https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article317704112.html- newarab.com: https://www.newarab.com/news/uk-teachers-union-slams-ihra-definition-push-schools- thedispatch.com: https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/boilingfrogs/vivek-ramaswamy-ohio-governor-ad-amy-acton/- JTA: https://www.jta.org/2026/10/22/ny/bronx-officials-blast-anti-zionist-groups-planned-protest-in-riverdale- Algemeiner: https://www.algemeiner.com/2026/10/22/palestinian-authority-boasts-hitler-palestinian-ally-while-branding-israel-nazi/- JTA: https://www.jta.org/2026/10/22/global/uk-adopts-sweeping-measures-against-antisemitism-in-schools- jweekly.com: https://jweekly.com/2026/10/22/uk-adopts-sweeping-measures-against-antisemitism-in-schools/- abc7ny.com: https://abc7ny.com/post/horse-carriage-drivers-protest-ahead-nyc-council-vote/19968037/- ejewishphilanthropy.com: https://ejewishphilanthropy.com/one-year-later-are-we-getting-smarter-about-antisemitism/- timesofisrael.com: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/utah-man-found-with-bombs-charged-with-threat-to-blow-up-synagogue/- sfi.usc.edu: https://sfi.usc.edu/news/2026/10/38171-preserving-holocaust-testimonies-risk-being-lost- ADL: https://www.adl.org/resources/article/susan-abulhawa-what-you-need-know- Algemeiner: https://www.algemeiner.com/2026/10/22/israeli-actress-sues-un-adviser-francesca-albanese-nazi-comparison/- justice.gov: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ut/pr/media-advisoryMusic 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

  • House Report: K-12 Antisemitism Crisis Uncovered
    22 Oct 2026
    On Antisemitism Watch, Rachel Adler reports on a U.S. House Committee investigation into K-12 schools and teachers' unions, detailing allegations of widespread antisemitism and problematic curricula. We cover a reported needle attack in Midtown Manhattan being investigated as a bias incident, a foiled planned synagogue attack in France, and significant developments in UK education policy on antisemitism, including a government review and teachers' union pushback on the IHRA definition. The episode also features criticism of media figures for antisemitic rhetoric and reporting on the global spread of 'Globalize the Intifada' calls.Sources:- abc7ny.com: https://abc7ny.com/post/suspected-needle-attack-jewish-man-investigated-possible-hate-crime/19969010/- fr.news.yahoo.com: https://fr.news.yahoo.com/sport/val-d-oise-principal-suspect-144624573.html- noticias.foxnews.com: https://noticias.foxnews.com/us/fox-news-antisemitism-exposed-newsletter-french-jews-forced-hiding-rioters-terrorize-streets- israelhayom.com: https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/10/22/gaza-teacher-threatened-over-hate-lessons/- AJC: https://www.ajc.org/news/from-recommendations-to-action-a-toolkit-for-building-inclusive-and-welcoming-massachusetts- mishcon.com: https://www.mishcon.com/news/what-does-sir-david-bells-independent-review-into-antisemitism-mean-for-schools- youtube.com: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD7jthRA1HM- thehub.ca: https://thehub.ca/2026/10/22/its-becoming-like-nazi-germany-here-employment-lawyer-howard-levitt-on-antisemitism-in-canadian-workplaces/- bethesdamagazine.com: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2026/10/22/mcps-antisemitic-bullying-complaint/- nbcphiladelphia.com: https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/philadelphia-school-district-denies-congressional-committees-antisemitism-allegations/4483421/- jpost.com: https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-912596- ua.news: https://ua.news/en/world/komitet-palati-predstavnikiv-ssha-opriliudniv-zvit-pro-antisemitizm-u-shkolakh-jerusalem-post- dailywire.com: https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-five-alarm-fire-in-american-education?author=Jonathan+Greenberg&category=News&elementPosition=undefined&row=0&rowType=Vertical+List&title=A+Five-Alarm+Fire+In+American+Education- thejc.com: https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/neu-rejects-recommendation-bell-review-rzn9zeet- sajr.co.za: https://www.sajr.co.za/uct-leader-faces-expulsion-for-highlighting-antisemitism/- middleeasteye.net: https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-says-schoolchildren-shouldnt-wave-palestine-flags-promoted-waving-ukraine-flags- uklfi.com: https://www.uklfi.com/uklfi-welcomes-recommendations-in-school-antisemitism-review-but-biased-teaching-and-materials-remain-a-serious-concern- jewishexponent.com: http://www.jewishexponent.com/philadelphia-schools-under-scrutiny-in-congressional-antisemitism-report/- universitytimes.ie: https://universitytimes.ie/2026/10/martin-meets-mamdani-an-appeal-to-international-relations-or-to-public-relations/- kdhnews.com: https://kdhnews.com/news/politics/israel-on-the-ballot-moskowitz-singer-battle-for-jewish-vote-in-new-fl-district/article_57be34a3-8dcf-5275-a6a2-b7f970df6fcc.html- combatantisemitism.org: https://combatantisemitism.org/studies-reports/globalize-the-intifada-calls-for-terror-spread-worldwide-around-october-7th-anniversary/- wired-gov.net: https://www.wired-gov.net/wg/news.nsf/articles/Generational+moment+as+government+acts+on+landmark+antisemitism+review+22102026091500?open- heritagefl.com: https://www.heritagefl.com/story/2026/10/23/news/dublin-hotel-cancels-70-rooms-booked-for-antisemitism-conference/24194.html- telegraph.co.uk: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10/22/suzanne-moore-anti-semitism-auschwitz/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
