    2026/10/18
    This episode of Antisemitism Watch: Mid-Atlantic covers critical developments on college campuses and in public schools. The U.S. Department of Education is expanding its antisemitism investigation into Swarthmore College following allegations of inadequate response to campus propaganda, including a video depicting an effigy of an Israeli soldier. In New York City, a public school teacher is under scrutiny for posting antisemitic memes, prompting condemnation and leading some Jewish families to withdraw children from public schools for safer alternatives. Meanwhile, the University of Pittsburgh's internal working group on campus antisemitism faces criticism for releasing a report that failed to consult Jewish students, highlighting ongoing challenges in addressing hate on college campuses. Key entities: Swarthmore College, Department of Education, U.S. Department of Education, NYC Public Schools, University of Pittsburgh, Students for Justice in Palestine, Maysa Jarara, Jewish students, campus antisemitism, hate speech, propaganda.

  • Mamdani Accused Amid Genocide Rhetoric Controversy

    Mamdani Accused Amid Genocide Rhetoric Controversy
    2026/10/17
    Antisemitic hate crimes in New York City now account for more than half of all reported hate crimes, with 245 incidents recorded in the first nine months of 2026. The episode examines accusations of antisemitism leveled against NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani following his 'genocide' rhetoric regarding Israel, contrasted with remarks by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and commentary by Bret Stephens, linking this to IHRA criteria and global propaganda. Coverage also includes Pennsylvania's legislative move to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, an ADL initiative for campus professionals, and vandalism arrests in Connecticut. We also look at community commemorations in Northern New Jersey.

  • NY Governor Debate: Blakeman Accuses Mamdani of Antisemitism

    NY Governor Debate: Blakeman Accuses Mamdani of Antisemitism
    2026/10/15
    Today on Antisemitism Watch: Three teenagers were arrested for racist and antisemitic vandalism at a playground in Abington Township, Pennsylvania, with local police vowing to take hate incidents seriously. In New York, the gubernatorial debate between Republican Bruce Blakeman and Governor Kathy Hochul became a flashpoint for accusations of antisemitism, with Blakeman targeting Mayor Zohran Mamdani and criticizing the state's stance on the IHRA definition. We also look at a complaint filed with NYC Public Schools over kindergarten curriculum art by cartoonist Carlos Latuff, who has faced accusations of antisemitic tropes. Plus, concerns are raised over rhetoric at an anti-Israel gathering in Philadelphia described as a "celebration of the death of Jews," and a new assessment indicates online antisemitism is at a record high. Coverage includes Abington Township, Bruce Blakeman, Kathy Hochul, Zohran Mamdani, IHRA definition, NYC Public Schools, Carlos Latuff, Philadelphia, and Rittenhouse Square.
