Fox News’ “Antisemitism Exposed” newsletter provides updates on the increasing prevalence of anti-Jewish sentiment both in the United States and globally. Recent data from New York City shows a rise in hate crimes, particularly antisemitic incidents, with 276 complaints recorded through May 31, compared to 210 in the previous year. The surge in anti-Jewish incidents is concerning, with the number rising from 97 to 164 in the same period, marking the fourth consecutive year of increasing hate crimes in the city.
One of the top stories featured in the newsletter discusses how an antisemitism watchdog organization is urging Stanford University to take a firm stance against anti-Israel activists who occupied the offices of the school’s president and provost. The Executive Director of StopAntisemitism, Liora Rez, highlights the complicity of universities in allowing campus takeovers by such groups. Additionally, Vice President Kamala Harris faced disruption from anti-Israel protesters during her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, accusing her of supporting genocide.
In a controversial move, the Maldives has implemented a ban on Israelis entering the country in response to the conflict in Gaza. President Mohammed Muizzu enacted the ban following a recommendation from the cabinet, indicating tensions between the Maldives and Israel. Meanwhile, addressing antisemitism has been emphasized as a priority for Europe before recognizing a Palestinian state, shedding light on the complex relationship between antisemitism and geopolitical decisions.
The newsletter also features a quote from Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, the exiled chief rabbi of Moscow, who expressed concern over the increase in antisemitic sentiment following the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7. Goldschmidt noted that the attack came with a message that it is now socially acceptable to be openly antisemitic, highlighting the urgency of addressing this issue. Videos and images accompanying the newsletter provide visual context to the stories, such as a masked protester taunting the Israel Day parade in New York City with a provocative sign.
