Weekly Report – August 31

This Week's

GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT

THIS WEEK'S GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM REPORT

This week, we continued to monitor antisemitism around the world while advocating for more actions to be made.

The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) honored the latest cohort of Innovation Lab winners this week in a virtual closing ceremony, where they were congratulated by CAM Advisory Board Natan Sharansky. The winners, who all received seed funding to further develop and implement their projects, were Heath Sloane, Zoé Tara Zeigherman, Robert Tepper, and Lievnath Faber. CAM also recently launched the next round of the Innovation Lab, with a focus on interfaith collaboration in the collective effort against the world’s oldest hatred.

Far-right antisemitic propaganda leaflets were distributed in the states of California, Massachusetts, and New York in a continuation of a nationwide trend.

As students returned to college campuses across the U.S., a series of antisemitic incidents were reported. Hundreds of shellfish were dumped across the property of a Jewish fraternity house at the University of California-Berkeley on the first Shabbat of the fall semester. Near the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor campus, a sidewalk outside the Jewish Resource Center was defaced with homophobic graffiti. The City University of New York (CUNY), which has been mired in a series of antisemitism scandals in recent years, hired Professor Marc Lamont Hill, who was let go as a CNN commentator in 2018 over remarks calling for the dismantlement of Israel as a Jewish state..

A 42-year-old mother from Oxfordshire, England, was exposed by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre as being the winner of an online “Miss Hitler” beauty pageant. In Russia, the state-owned Pravda newspaper, once the mouthpiece of the Communist Party in the Soviet era, published an op-ed accusing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of forcing non-Jewish Ukrainians to die in the war with Russia as payback for past pogroms in his country.

This week’s global antisemitism report highlights 31 new reports of antisemitic incidents. The total includes 16 (51.62%) from the far-right, 3 (9.68%) from the far-left, 6 (19.35%) with Islamist motivations, and 6 (19.35%) unidentifiable in nature.

NEWSOM URGES CALIF. EDUCATORS TEACHING ETHNIC STUDIES TO AVOID ‘BIAS, BIGOTRY OR DISCRIMINATION’

By GABBY DEUTCH

Days into the new school year, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office on Wednesday sent a letter to educators cautioning school administrators against using ethnic studies courses that promote bias and bigotry. The letter came in response to a plea from three dozen California Jewish leaders, who wrote to Newsom in June calling on him to push back against what they deem as discriminatory content being taught in schools. The Jewish community advocates expressed concern that some school districts were approving the teaching of ethnic studies courses that promote anti-Israel ideals and espouse antisemitism.
