At the ADL conference sports analyst and former football player Emmanuel Acho shared his personal experience with antisemitism, explaining how it often hides behind dog-whistles like “Zionist”.
He recalled being harassed at a restaurant by a patron who accused him of being paid by Zionists. He stated that he felt fear of someone potentially harming him or committing an act of hate against him because of his support for the Jewish community and Israel.
Emmanuel commented that this was the first time he felt what it must be like to be Jewish right now.
Jews, nor their allies, should have to fear for their physical safety for openly and proudly supporting their indigenous homeland.

Crowds surrounded and harassed Australian PM Albanese outside Lakemba Mosque during Muslim holy day Eid al-Fitr, a day meant for peace, prayer, and community.
PM Albanese said the mosque event was “incredibly positive” aside from the harassment he endured outside.
This kind of intimidation doesn’t exist in a vacuum. In the wake of the devastating terror attack in Australia, rhetoric and behavior like this only deepen division and fear.
Voices of truth are coming from the Iranian people themselves.
An Iranian man in diaspora spoke out to thank the Israel and the United States its allies for standing up to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This isn’t just a geopolitical conflict, it’s a shared fight against a regime that has murdered and repressed its own citizens for decades, silenced dissent through fear, violence, and imprisonment, and controls terror networks across the globe.
While regime-aligned propagandists try to blur the lines, many Iranians both inside the country and across the diaspora see clearly who is standing against their oppressors.
Solidarity with the Iranian people means — no matter how you feel about the war itself — recognizing their struggle, amplifying their voices, and refusing to legitimize the regime that has stolen their freedom.

Harvard’s own report exposed antisemitism on its campus, and administrators chose to deny it.
A new report from the House Education & Workforce Committee revealed the facts. In April 2025, Harvard released an internal report detailing widespread antisemitism across the university. One of the most troubling findings pointed directly to the François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Center for Health and Human Rights.
According to the report FXB’s Palestine Program pushed a one-sided, hostile narrative that vilified Israel. Courses like “Settler Colonial Determinants of Health” promoted a highly politicized and distorted view of Jewish identity.
Individuals affiliated with the Center spread rhetoric like “Down with Israel” and even referred to Israelis as “the most invasive species on the planet.”
Instead of confronting these findings, FXB leadership dismissed the report itself as “racist” for mentioning terrorism. Let that sink in.
When antisemitism is documented and the response is denial, deflection, and counter-accusations, it doesn’t just ignore the problem.
It deepens the consequences.
If institutions won’t take their own findings seriously, how can Jewish students trust they’ll be protected?
This is not academic freedom, it’s academic failure.
This Iranian influencer makes an interesting observation.
There seems to be a stark contrast in demonstrations related to the war in Iran. On one side the “anti-war” demonstrations have identical, mass-produced signs glorifying Khamenei and demonizing the U.S. and Israel.
On the other are grassroots protests by the Iranian people themselves, and their allies. Hundreds of thousands in the streets, with handmade signs and unique voices demanding freedom from the tyrannical Iranian regime.
One side reflects the voices of a people risking everything, and the other echoes the messaging of those who silence them.
Let’s not confuse propaganda with protest. If you stand for human rights, stand with the Iranian people, not with a regime that represses them and exports terror globally.

The reality is that campuses aren’t just failing Jewish students, they’re enabling the problem.
A new House Education & Workforce Committee report reveals that university leaders, faculty, and even student groups have not only failed to curb antisemitism, but in some cases they’ve actively fueled it.
The findings of the report show that sone universities “allowed antisemitism to proliferate unchecked,” and that professors themselves, “have played a significant role in legitimizing and amplifying antisemitism on college campuses.”
Even more alarming are many so-called “satellite campuses” in the Middle East, meant to promote American values, are failing to uphold their founding principles.
Instead of protecting Jewish students, too many institutions look the other way, make excuses, or even worse legitimize the rhetoric.
This isn’t just negligence, it’s a betrayal of the core mission of education.
Universities are supposed to be places of critical thinking, safety, and moral leadership. Not environments where hate is tolerated or amplified.
Not sure what to say to your Jewish friends right now? Start with this: just show up.
At a time when Jewish communities are facing rising fear and targeted violence, silence can feel isolating. The right words don’t have to be perfect, they just have to be real.
Minimizing, dismissing, or redirecting the conversation sends a message that Jewish fear isn’t valid. It is.
Being an ally isn’t complicated:
• Check in
• Listen
• Speak up when you see antisemitism
• Make it clear Jewish communities are not alone
This moment isn’t about debate, it’s about human connection.
When someone tells you they feel unsafe, believe them.
Standing up against antisemitism starts with one simple act: listening.
Once again a celebration in Iran was met with violence.
During Chaharshanbe Suri, a centuries-old Persian festival meant to celebrate light, renewal, and hope, reports show forces of the Islamic Republic opening fire into a crowd of civilians in an attempt to disperse them.
Families gathered, young people celebrated a
a cultural tradition passed down for generations.
And the regime responded with bullets.
This is the reality inside Iran:
A government so threatened by joy, unity, and cultural identity that it meets it with repression and violence.
The Iranian people are not the enemy.
They are the ones suffering under a regime that fears its own population.
Standing against this brutality is not just about geopolitics, it’s about standing with innocent civilians who deserve freedom, safety, and the right to celebrate their own culture without fear.
