"In the six months since he received this warning from one of the nation's leading organizations dedicated to fighting antisemitism [ADL], Dr. Wolfson has not only failed to address these concerns but has exacerbated them," Cassidy wrote. "Jewish faculty members deserve to carry out their work free from discrimination. As an association with a national presence, it is concerning that AFT has not only failed to help solve this problem but has made it worse by allowing Dr. Wolfson to continue to serve in a leadership role."

Being associated with a student who boldly declared that "Jews must be abolished by any means" definitely wasn't a good look for University of Florida. My position on Jews is simple: whatever Harvard professor Noel Ignatiev meant by his call to "abolish the White race by any means necessary" is what I think must be done with Jews. Jews must be abolished by any means necessary.- Preston Damsky (@preston_terry_) March 21, 2025

Bruce MacInnes was told by Tory party officials that his repeated allegation that Israel is committing genocide in Palestine constituted allegedly antisemitic, discriminatory and insensitive and highly offensive language, which resulted in his suspension from the party last year. MacInnes, who says he did not initially know about the disciplinary proceedings despite the party claiming they had emailed him, is bringing legal action against the party for 30,000 in the high court for breach of contract and discrimination based on belief.

Jewish groups have compiled a dossier of suspected hate crimes, including death threats and support for Hamas, by pro-Palestine protesters over the last two years after studying hours of footage on social media. In many alleged cases, charges by Scotland Yard and Britain's prosecuting authority were dropped or fell through at an preliminary stage. Among the examples cited are activists who blockaded synagogues and speeches in praise of the October 7 massacre, in which Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped a further 251.

Nick Fuentes, a 27-year-old white nationalist livestreamer, routinely uses his platform to deny the Holocaust, praise Adolf Hitler, denigrate women as "baby machines," and make wildly racist statements. Fuentes' abhorrent views have propelled him to far-right celebrity status, and he presides over a movement of "groypers"-young, highly online incels, neo-Nazis, and racist shitposters who follow him. Over the years, Fuentes has been crystal clear about his ultimate goal:

Party chief Peadar Tóibín 'shocked and disgusted' after bigoted posts from private chat exposed Aontú has sacked the leader of its youth wing and dismissed five other members after it learnt of the existence of ­secret WhatsApp groups where some Ógra Aontú members posted racist and antisemitic comments. The Sunday Independent has seen a collection of the inflammatory posts that led Aontú to dismiss six members of its youth wing from the party, while three others remain suspended pending further investigation.

He said: Mandami is a job-killing socialist, and he's not a Democrat, right? He shouldn't be in the Democratic Party. He's an admitted socialist. He should be in the Socialist Party. And as good of a campaign as he's run, I have very strong disagreements with his views, whether you're talking about government-run grocery stores, obviously his continued anti-Semitic rhetoric, refusal to condemn phrases like globalizing Intifada, which is a call for the killing of the Jewish people.

According to the newly released state report, Oakland Unified's investigation of the complaint - concluded in Aug. 2025 - found that while the district did not unfairly publicize Arab American Heritage month over Jewish Heritage Month, the district violated board policies by excluding Israel and using content from the Arab Resource and Organizing Center - an organization the district was aware could be considered antisemitic.

In this moment when our prayers have finally been realized, and the war appears to be ending after two grueling years, we now must focus on the aftermath. Unfortunately, there is deep concern that the systematic and widespread normalization of antisemitism that we saw over these past two years in the United States and around the globe will continue to live on.

Birmingham's safety advisory group is meeting next week and is expected to produce proposals about the extra resources West Midlands police would need to allow the match to go ahead safely with away fans. The force last week barred Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from the match because of concerns that officers would not be able to police it safely. They cited violent clashes and hate crime offences at a Maccabi Tel Aviv match in Amsterdam in 2024.

The government has said it is "doing everything in our power" to overturn a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending a football match in Birmingham and is exploring what additional resources could be required.

President Donald Trump insists that top universities must pay dearly for not protecting Jewish students. This includes cutting $790 million in medical and scientific research previously led by Northwestern University scholars. Michael Schill, then president of Northwestern, was berated by congressional Republicans for brokering a compromise with pro-Palestinian protesters last year, disbanding their tent cities while preserving free speech. He was too timid in stamping out campus antisemitism, Trump disciples argued. Shill stepped down last month.

In a statement, Birmingham-based club Villa said they had been informed that local police had "public safety concerns outside the stadium bowl and the ability to deal with any potential protests on the night." West Midlands Police said they had classified the November 6 fixture as "high risk" following a "thorough assessment." "This decision is based on current intelligence and previous incidents, including violent clashes and hate crime offences that occurred during the 2024 Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam," police said in a statement. In November 2024, that fixture in the Netherlands was marred by violent clashes linked to the crisis in the Middle East which left at least five people needing hospital treatment and resulted in over 60 arrests.

Left-leaning Ohio journalist D.J. Byrnes posted an image of the swastika, which he said appeared on an office wall during a video call with Taylor's legislative correspondent, Angelo Elia. The swastika appeared at the center of a U.S. flag and was made with the flag's red stripes. "I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office," the Ohio lawmaker said in a statement he released on his website.

The law establishes a new Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator in the state Office of Civil Rights to be appointed by the Governor. This official will train teachers, administrators and local school boards on how to spot, prevent and respond to antisemitism.

Khan replied, "I don't think it is antisemitic, and I think it's all about context. "Some slogans can be antisemitic, but it's all about context. And in certain contexts, yes, those slogans are antisemitic. In other contexts, they're not." Hall said that the pro-Palestine protests took place in London and protesters were seen "screaming chants at passing commuters." The Home Secretary to the protests "should not have gone ahead" on Yom Kippur which is the holiest day of the year for the Jewish community.

There were 7,164 such offences recorded by forces across the two nations excluding the Metropolitan Police in the year to March, up three per cent from 6,973 in the previous 12 months. Ministers said anti-Muslim hatred was up by 19 per cent, noting a spike in offences after the Southport murders of two girls last summer and the riots which followed across several English towns and cities.
