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.

We are also immensely grateful to Gov. Newsom, Pro Tem Mike McGuire, Speaker Robert Rivas and to so many of our non-Jewish colleagues of both political parties who have stood as staunch allies in the fight against hate. Together, we will continue to fight to ensure that students of all faiths and backgrounds are safe, welcome, and can thrive in our schools.

as Candace Owens, Tucker [Carlson], etc. spread their Jews control everything' propaganda on the right, it isn't really Qatar that benefits, but China, wrote Erickson in a post on X. The Chinese have stirred the antisemitic pot, adjusted the TikTok algorithm to amplify antisemitism, etc.. All the people on the right suddenly blaming the Jews are not looking at China and the voices spreading the propaganda are silent on China and its influence operations, he added.

Two years after Hamas's attack on southern Israel, anti-Semitic violence seems to be on the rise throughout the West. On Yom Kippur, a man drove a car into a crowd outside a synagogue in Manchester, England, then got out and stabbed members of the congregation before he was also killed. On June 2 in Boulder, Colorado, an Egyptian national threw Molotov cocktails at protesters calling for the release of Israeli hostages, killing one of them. Such incidents have grown more frequent as the Israeli military's deadly operation in Gaza grinds on.

It's good to show we're not afraid to show our faces, said 68-year-old Jonathan Fitter, joining the crowds in Trafalgar Square on Sunday afternoon to commemorate the second anniversary of the 7 October attacks and the killing of two people at a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur on Thursday. Fitter, who is of Jewish heritage, stood with a large blended union jack and Israeli flag.
