France Thwarts Synagogue Attack Plot
A plot to attack a synagogue in Sarcelles, France, was thwarted with the arrest of an alleged organizer, following the discovery of a weapons cache. In the U.S. 2026 election cycle, antisemitic and dehumanizing rhetoric has targeted Jewish candidates in Arizona, including calls for a "final solution" and vandalism. Meanwhile, a new study from Brandeis University reveals humanities PhD students exhibit significantly higher levels of anti-Jewish prejudice and hostility toward Israel compared to their peers. We also look at Solon Schools addressing antisemitic incidents, a defense of an ethnic studies course in Pittsburgh, debate in Edinburgh over "Zionism is Racism" rhetoric, and a statement from Rep. Debbie Dingell on confronting antisemitism. Topics covered include France, synagogue security, antisemitism, Arizona politics, Jewish candidates, rhetoric, US graduate students, humanities, prejudice, Israel, Solon Schools, ethnic studies, Edinburgh, Zionism, IHRA definition, and policy responses.

Rabbi Returns After Diamond District Stabbing
This episode of Antisemitism Watch covers a range of critical incidents and developments. Host Rachel Adler reports on a Chabad rabbi's courageous return to work in Manhattan's Diamond District following a suspected antisemitic stabbing. We detail a foiled bomb plot in Utah, where a man was indicted for threatening a synagogue and found with pipe bombs and rifles. Also, two Iranian nationals face trial in London for an alleged plot to attack the Jewish community in northern England. Republican candidate Saritha Komatireddy pledges to declare a state of emergency on antisemitism in New York if elected, as hate crimes surge. The American Studies Association's conference programming faces criticism from the ADL for sessions that some say demonize Zionism. We also look at the UK government's push to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism in schools, and the U.S. Department of Justice's initiatives to combat hate. Plus, interfaith efforts like Stand Up Sunday highlight community solidarity against rising antisemitism and hate crimes.

Florida Man Arrested for Threatening US Rep. Jared Moskowitz
Antisemitism Watch covers rising threats and incidents. Florida authorities arrested a man for threatening Jewish US Representative Jared Moskowitz, recalling a past assassination plot. In New York City, a Jewish man was stabbed in the back in Midtown Manhattan, with police investigating an antisemitic motive. France saw widespread riots and vandalism, including a synagogue attack, recording over 1,300 antisemitic acts in 2025. In the UK, new policies will encourage schools to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, though critics warn of stifled debate. The Jewish Federations of North America is launching a $35 million initiative, 'Frontline,' to combat antisemitism. Campus incidents include a Glasgow student group defining Zionism as racism and tactics on Canadian campuses mirroring this exclusionary approach. Influencer Piker faces scrutiny for historical antisemitic comments, while analysis highlights the problematic conflation of Jewish identity with Israeli government actions. Meanwhile, New York synagogues face rising security costs impacting their budgets.
