Quick Glance: Trump Critiques Shapiro at Democratic Convention
- Former President Trump criticized Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro late Wednesday, calling his speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago 'really bad.' Shapiro delivered a passionate address warning that Trump would strip Americans of their rights and freedoms if elected again in November.
- Trump took to Truth Social to attack Shapiro and Vice President Harris, accusing them of doing nothing for Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza. He referred to Shapiro as 'highly overrated' and claimed he had done more for Israel than any other president, asserting that Shapiro has done nothing for the country.
- In response to Trump's comments, Shapiro highlighted Trump's obsession with spreading hate and division. He emphasized that his own message of freedom and unity starkly contrasts with Trump's divisive rhetoric and warned that Trump was setting himself up to lose again in the upcoming election.
- A White House spokesperson condemned Trump's remarks as antisemitic and harmful, while Shapiro argued that Trump lacks the credibility to speak on issues of antisemitism. Shapiro is viewed as a vital ally for Democrats in Pennsylvania, a key state in the electoral race.

Emhoff pledges to continue fighting against antisemitism ‘when I’m first gentleman’
timesofisrael.com/emhoff-pledges-to-continue-fighting-against-antisemitism-when-im-first-gentleman/
Quick Glance: Doug Emhoff: A New Model of Masculinity
- Modern society often labels men overshadowed by their partners with derogatory terms, reflecting the complex dynamics of gender power. Doug Emhoff's speech at the Democratic National Convention emerged as a pivotal moment, illustrating how a man can support his wife Kamala Harris while maintaining his own identity and self-worth.
- Emhoff's address was particularly noteworthy given the scarcity of male counterparts to women in leadership roles. He successfully articulated genuine support for Harris's ambitions without diminishing her significance or appearing subordinate. His humor and respect for her aspirations allowed him to be seen as a true partner rather than a mere accessory.
- Throughout his speech, Emhoff highlighted his independence and ability to navigate various situations with empathy. He embraced traditional masculine traits, such as protectiveness and camaraderie, while emphasizing his role as a supportive husband. These attributes resonate with conservative values, yet he remained careful not to overshadow Harris, showcasing a balance of strength and partnership.
- Although some critics labeled Emhoff as weak, his representation of masculinity gained appreciation on social media. Many admired his supportive nature and expressed a desire for similar partnerships. While traditional models of masculinity persist, Emhoff stands as an alternative example of a successful man who acknowledges his wife's strengths and earns respect in his own right.

Quick Glance: Nemat Shafik's Resignation: Columbia University in Turmoil
- Nemat Shafik resigned as president of Columbia University amidst fierce criticism regarding her management of pro-Palestinian protests and campus division. She became the third Ivy League president to step down in eight months and will take a position with the British government.
- In her resignation letter, Dr. Shafik noted that while some progress was made, the recent turmoil had taken a toll on her family and the university community. Her decision to resign was intended to help Columbia navigate its future challenges.
- Responses to her departure were mixed. While some acknowledged her contributions during a difficult time, the timing of her resignation was unexpected as the fall semester approached. Criticism from faculty members had mounted against her handling of protests, leading to a vote of no confidence.
- Although the summer remained relatively calm, underlying tensions persist. The university has implemented new measures to address potential protests in the fall, as students vow to continue their demands for divestment from companies profiting from the occupation of Palestinian territories.

Judge rules UCLA must prevent protests from blocking Jewish students’ access to class
thehill.com/homenews/education/4828259-ucla-lawsuit-jewish-students/
Quick Glance: Court Upholds Jewish Students' Campus Rights at UCLA
- A federal judge ruled that the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) cannot permit pro-Palestinian protesters to obstruct Jewish students' access to campus buildings, classes, and services. This ruling marks the first legal action of its kind in the U.S. related to protests against the Israel-Gaza conflict.
- U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi's decision followed a lawsuit filed in June by three Jewish students who claimed they were barred from campus due to their faith. Scarsi deemed this exclusion 'unimaginable' and 'abhorrent,' issuing a preliminary injunction that prohibits the university from offering programs or activities if they deny access to Jewish students.
- UCLA contended that it cannot be held legally accountable for the actions of third-party protesters and noted its efforts to enhance response measures, including the establishment of a new campus safety office. Vice Chancellor Mary Osako mentioned that UCLA is evaluating its options in light of the ruling and remains dedicated to fostering an inclusive campus environment.
- The case gained attention following an incident on April 30, where masked individuals attacked a pro-Palestinian encampment, leading to violent clashes. The police's response faced criticism for being both slow and overly aggressive, resulting in the reassignment of the campus police chief pending an external review.

Quick Glance: Foxtel CEO Apologizes for Nazi Salute Incident
- Footage has surfaced showing Patrick Delany, CEO of the Foxtel Group, performing a Nazi salute over a decade ago while appearing to mimic former Socceroos player Mark Bosnich. The video, published by the Sydney Morning Herald, is believed to be from the 2014-15 A-League season when Delany was CEO of Fox Sports.
- In the video, Delany is seen on the Fox Sports set, where Bosnich asks him to kick a virtual ball. In reference to Bosnich's own Nazi salute from 1996, Delany performs the gesture, prompting Bosnich to applaud. Bosnich had faced disciplinary action for his salute during a match, which had drawn significant criticism.
- Following the video's release, Delany sent an all-staff email acknowledging the offensive nature of his actions and expressing remorse for the hurt caused to the Jewish community. He emphasized that his behavior does not reflect his values and confirmed he met with the president of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies to apologize personally.
- David Ossip, the president of the board, stated that Delany recognized the gravity of his gesture. He highlighted the importance of educating future generations about the dangers of unchecked hatred, especially during a time of rising antisemitism, and commended Delany and Lachlan Murdoch for their strong stance against antisemitism in Australia.

Quick Glance: Bomb Threats Target Jewish Organizations in Canada
- On Thursday, multiple Jewish organizations, synagogues, and hospitals in Canada were evacuated after over 100 institutions received bomb threats via email. Authorities are treating these threats as hate crimes and have initiated an investigation.
- B'nai Brith Canada, the oldest independent Jewish human rights organization in the country, reported that the threats arrived at 5 a.m. ET. A spokesperson stated that law enforcement's swift response was appreciated and that the threat was taken very seriously.
- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his disgust over the targeting of Jewish institutions, labeling it blatant antisemitism. He confirmed that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is collaborating with local law enforcement to ensure the safety of Jewish Canadians.
- The threatening emails warned of explosives placed in black backpacks at various institutions. Recent months have seen a rise in hate crimes against the Jewish community in Canada, with antisemitism accounting for nearly 45 percent of reported hate crimes this year.

Quick Glance: AfD Leads in Thüringen, Tight Race in Sachsen Elections
- Recent polls indicate that the AfD is significantly ahead in Thüringen, while a close contest exists between the CDU and AfD in Sachsen ahead of the state elections on September 1. According to the Forschungsgruppe Wahlen, the AfD would secure 30 percent of the votes in Thüringen, with the CDU at 23 percent, followed by the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht with 17 percent and the Left Party with 14 percent.
- In Sachsen, the CDU is projected to receive 33 percent, closely followed by the AfD at 30 percent. The Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht is at 11 percent, with the SPD at 7 percent and the Greens at 6 percent. The Left Party is expected to fall short of representation with 4 percent, along with the FDP, which also fails to meet the five-percent threshold.
- Post-election coalition formation may be challenging, as all other parties have ruled out alliances with the AfD. The CDU has also rejected partnerships with the Left Party and Greens, while a coalition involving the CDU, BSW, and SPD appears feasible but remains contentious within the CDU.
- The polls were conducted from Monday to Thursday, with around 1000 respondents for the ZDF survey and approximately 1570 for the ARD poll. The results suggest an uncertain future for the current governing coalitions in both states.
