This week on Antisemitism Watch: Mid-Atlantic, a former Rutgers student sues the university over alleged First Amendment violations during campus activism. The New York State Democratic Party passes a resolution condemning antisemitism and defining its contemporary forms. Globally, antisemitism incidents have spiked nearly 75%, with Far-Left ideologies leading, and a study reveals over 40% of X accounts amplifying key posts are inauthentic. New York City's mayor also frames security funding as a new public safety standard. We cover Rutgers University, New York Democrats, IHRA, Zohran Mamdani, antisemitism, global hate, X, bots, and New Jersey security.
