1/ The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights just released its report on campus antisemitism and Title VI. I testified at the hearing. The report is unanimous, bipartisan, & debunks the main legal theories behind recent attacks on universities for allegedly tolerating antisemitism. 🧵

Nearly half of ADL's 2025 Audit was tied to Israel. A new report from NCAR breaks down what's in that number, from Jews harassed or attacked over Israel's actions to public expressions of hostility toward Israel that ADL considers antisemitic, like 'From the River to the Sea.'

JD Vance's remarks about antisemitism in a recent speech to Jewish Republicans veered from ignorance to denial to deceit. He invoked the "imported antisemitism" narrative, which originated on the European far-right. Read more on my substack: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Public opinion is turning against Israel not only in the U.S., but also in many other countries around the world, as a recent survey by the Pew Research Center shows: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/.... Under Netanyahu's leadership, Israel is becoming a global pariah.

Most people across 36 countries have negative views of Israel and little confidence in Netanyahu

Majorities in most of the countries we surveyed express an unfavorable view of Israel and little or no confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

30 years ago today Israel's then prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, was assassinated by a right-wing Jewish extremist, after a campaign of incitement against Rabin led by Netanyahu. Tragically, Rabin's murder deprived the Oslo peace process of the one Israeli leader who could have enabled it to succeed.

We do not join Jonathan Greenblatt in thanking the Heritage Foundation's President Kevin Roberts for trying to have it both ways. You can’t condemn antisemitism and not condemn those ushering it into the mainstream.

Screenshot of Jonathan Greenblatt's tweet says "This is far from the first time. Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes both have been spewing hatred explicitly or subtly spreading it for years. None of it is acceptable. However, credit to @KevinRobertsTX for stepping forward today and issuing a clear, cogent takedown of the toxic antisemitism and venomous racism expressed by Fuentes. It was clarifying and crucial to hear firsthand that @heritage has zero tolerance for this kind of poison." It's a quote tweet of the A D L's tweet, which says "For years, we have catalogued Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes’ antisemitic rhetoric and admonished those who would seek to legitimize them. And we deeply appreciate those who have rejected Heritage’s shocking and indefensible defense of this hate – especially conservatives who..." and then it cuts off.

The ceasefire in Gaza, now in effect, depends on the promise given by an inveterate liar and conman (Trump) to a ruthless terrorist organization (Hamas) that he will prevent another serial liar, conman, and war criminal (Netanyahu) from resuming the war:

Israel broke one ceasefire. Trump told the mediators he wouldn't let it happen this time.

It's 9am in Israel and I'm standing on a hill in Sderot looking into Gaza and hearing the sounds of distant explosions and seeing dust clouds and plumes of smokes. The war hasn't ended yet.

Dov Waxman @dovwaxman.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Very happy and relieved that a ceasefire-hostage agreement has been reached and that all the hostages will be home soon. I hope that the second phase of Trump's plan will also be implemented. That will be much harder to do than the first phase. The pressure on both sides must be sustained.

The deadly antisemitic attack in Manchester today has the hallmarks of a jihadist terrorist attack. Islamic State (IS), in particular, has encouraged its supporters to use vehicle rammings as a deadly weapon, and there have been many attacks by IS supporters using vehicle rammings and stabbings.

Some comments on Trump's plan for ending the Gaza War: First, two big positives: 1. If Hamas accepts the plan--a big 'if'--it will result in a ceasefire, the release of all remaining hostages, and ensure that more humanitarian aid reaches Gazans. This will be a huge improvement on the status quo.

Dov Waxman @dovwaxman.bsky.social · 30/09/2025

Hamas faces a decisive test: accept Trump’s plan, which is tantamount to surrendering, or reject the plan, which entails prolonging the suffering and slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. Will Hamas prioritize its own interests or the needs of Palestinian civilians in Gaza?

When Netanyahu meets with Trump today, I expect he will not outright reject Trump's Gaza peace plan, but Netanyahu will insist on conditions and caveats that he knows Hamas will reject, so that Hamas can be blamed for rejecting it. Netanyahu is adept at this game.

How governments, advocacy groups, and pundits respond to the recognition of Palestinian statehood is a good indicator of whether they genuinely support the Palestinian right to self-determination or not (although this right won't be realized until Israel ends its occupation of Palestinian land).
