But the lives of Ariel, David and all the hostages cannot wait. Every day diminishes their chances of survival." QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Every night, I have the same dream. I see my sons in a hospital bed. I run to them, embracing them, breathing in their scent, kissing them for all they've endured." Sylvia Cunio, mother of two men still held hostage by Hamas. - Looking for more on this topic? Find more antisemitism coverage from Fox News here. - Did someone forward you this email?

Fox News ‘Antisemitism Exposed' Newsletter: Hate crimes against Jews reach terrifying benchmark
Fox News' "Antisemitism Exposed" newsletter brings you stories on the rising anti-Jewish prejudice across the U.S. and the world. IN TODAY'S NEWSLETTER:- Antisemitic incidents in US occur more than once per hour, ADL finds- Coachella promoters 'blindsided' by band's vulgar anti-Israel rhetoric at festival- Skyrocketing antisemitism in Canada spurs fears for country's Jews ahead of election TOP STORY: Hate crimes against Jews in America occur more than once every hour, according to a new report from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The group identified 9,354 antisemitic incidents in 2024, a 5% increase from 2023 and a staggering 926% increase since it began tracking in 1979. According to the ADL's calculations in its annual antisemitism audit, there were more than 25 "targeted anti-Jewish incidents" per day. VIDEO: The "Babka King" tells Fox News Digital that, while most of the comments he gets are positive, when he gets negative comments, they're mostly on videos about Jewish food. WATCH HERE: 'BLINSIDED' AT COACHELLA: A concert promoter involved in organizing the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, was reportedly "blindsided" by anti-Israel rhetoric espoused by a band that performed at the event. Irish hip-hop group Kneecap made calls to "free Palestine" and "F--- Israel" during their set on Friday at the Sonora tent. They also made references to genocide and condemned the U.S. military for its support of Israel. HATE RISING: Antisemitism in Canada has exploded in the aftermath of Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, reaching record numbers last year and becoming a central issue for the country's Jewish community ahead of an April 28 federal election. According to an annual audit released this month by B'nai Brith Canada, antisemitic incidents in Canada have skyrocketed by 124.6% since 2022. HARVARD STRIKES BACK: Harvard University has sued the Trump administration over its "unlawful" multibillion dollar freeze of research funding to the university. The move came just one day after the Trump administration announced plans to cut another $1 billion in federal grants and contracts to the university, in addition to the $2.2 billion freeze that was announced last week. GUEST EDITORIAL: Ilya Shapiro, director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute and former senior lecturer at Georgetown, asks if President Trump can "fix" Harvard. The biggest obstacle, according to Shapiro, is a "noxious postmodern ideology that contends that truth is subjective and must be viewed through lenses of race, gender, and other identity categories." QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "The rampaging chaos that we see in our streets, the targeting of synagogues and Jewish schools with hate, vandalism, violence, fire bombings ... these things were unheard of 10 years ago." Canadian Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre. - Looking for more on this topic? Find more antisemitism coverage from Fox News here. - Did someone forward you this email?

Fox News ‘Antisemitism Exposed' Newsletter: Hate finds home at Princeton University
Fox News' "Antisemitism Exposed" newsletter brings you stories on the rising anti-Jewish prejudice across the U.S. and the world. IN TODAY'S NEWSLETTER: - Princeton student says anti-Israel protesters called her 'inbred swine'- Trump goes after Harvard's tax-exempt status- Princeton president vows not to cave to Trump, yet admits campus antisemitism TOP STORY: A lecture at Princeton University by former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was cut short this week amid protests in which Jewish students were targeted with slurs and hateful rhetoric. The event was ultimately halted when a fire alarm was pulled, prompting an evacuation. In an op-ed for The Free Press, one student said she was targeted with antisemitic slurs, including being told to "go back to Europe" and being called "inbred swine." VIDEO: Stand-up comedian and pro-Israel activist Daniel-Ryan Spaulding pointed out recently that it's "too political" if celebrities defend Israel, but accepted when celebrities support Palestinian causes. WATCH HERE: FREE RIDE ENDING? The Trump administration has asked the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status, blaming the vaunted school's failure to address antisemitism on campus. In a recent social media post, President Donald Trump claimed that Harvard had "lost its way" and didn't deserve federal funding. REJECTING CONSEQUENCES: The president of Princeton University told the New York Times that, despite antisemitism on his campus, it is "not appropriate" for President Donald Trump to slash federal funding for schools allowed on-campus anti-Israel protests since the Hamas-led attack on Israel Oct. 7, 2023. GOOD RIDDANCE: Another pro-Palestine Columbia student protester was detained by federal authorities in Vermont, amid the Trump administration's crackdown on alleged Hamas sympathizers. Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian-born green card holder, was detained while attending an immigration interview at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office. GUEST EDITORIAL: Jonathan Harounoff, Israel's spokesman to the United Nations, wonders why Harvard University is willing to fight President Trump tooth and nail over federal funds, but didn't have the stomach to fight anti-Jewish hate on its own campus an in its faculty. QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "If you had told me what Princeton's environment was like two years ago today, I would have been shocked to my core. Saying it's relatively better than Columbia is not something that Princeton should be taking as a point of pride." Danielle Shapiro, Jewish Princeton University student. - Looking for more on this topic? Find more antisemitism coverage from Fox News here. - Did someone forward you this email?
