More than 500 years after the Spanish Inquisition, the Spanish word for ‘Jew’ maintains the connotation of ‘a shrewd, greedy person,’ and Judaism as ‘a loathsome trick that harms someone.’
About 20 Jewish groups from the US and Spanish-speaking countries contacted the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), urging Spain’s official linguistic institution to change its definitions of the words “Jew” and “Judaism” from their “outdated, utterly antisemitic” versions.
Ynet News reported that the letter, endorsed by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, called on the academy to revise its definitions pointing out that, “these descriptions are the product of a medieval and renaissance terminology of rejection, envy and hatred directed at the Jews who, because of their work, had the highest incomes – which was one of the factors that led to their expulsion from Spain by the Catholic monarchs.”
The definitions which has caused outrage defines a Jew as a “shrewd, greedy person or one who engages in usury, whereas Judaism is defined as “a loathsome trick or action that harms someone.”
While the latter is followed by a warning that the definition was originally used in an antisemitic setting, the Jewish signatories to the letter note that, “as far as the international Jewish community is concerned, the move has served only to confirm that we are dealing with an untrue definition that feeds antisemitism, harming the image of Jews by condemning them as a group of greedy people or moneylenders.”

US House Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) is calling on the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University — two of America’s most prestigious institutions of higher education — to keep antisemitism off their campuses, citing recent incidents that have dismayed the American Jewish community.
“I have written to many university administrators and the US Department of Education about the rise of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses,” Gottheimer wrote in a letter dated Sept. 10 but announced on Wednesday to University of Pennsylvania President M. Elizabeth Magill. “I am dismayed that this is now occurring at my alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. While policy discussion and differing views are a welcome and critical part of building cultural understanding, they cannot provide a bully pulpit for those who seek to divide others. If the university’s goal is to promote mutual understanding and bring students together, it will fail so long as antisemites and anti-Israel advocates are given a platform to spew hate.”

The disgraced ex-president didn't even bother to hide his naked white supremacy in a High Holy Days message, accusing American Jews who support President Biden — meaning the overwhelming majority of them— of wanting to "destroy the country." The message was accompanied by a crude flyer that slammed liberal Jews for being "sheep" and believing "false narratives." It cannot be understated how dangerous this kind of rhetoric can be, especially in a time when American neo-Nazis openly march in the streets and commit anti-Semitic massacres inspired by Trump's rhetoric.

A federal court in Australia has ruled that Brighton Secondary College violated laws prohibiting racial discrimination when it neglected to protect five Jewish students from antisemitic bullying.
“This ruling is an unambiguous victory for the legal rights of Jewish students to be free of antisemitic harassment and intimidation at school,” Brooke Goldstein of The Lawfare Project, a Jewish civil rights group that provided financial and logistical support to the complainants, said on Monday. “It is appalling that this horrific behavior was ignored for so long by the school, and it is shocking the State Government of Victoria disputed every aspect of this claim instead of taking strong and resolute action to remedy the situation and protect these students.”
Goldstein added, “The ruling makes crystal clear that Jew-hatred cannot be tolerated or ignored, but must be rooted out.”
The verdict comes three year after the students came forward accusing administrators of ignoring antisemitic discrimination and fostering a “prison culture” that contravened their human rights.

The Penn Hillel Center, which provides services to Jewish students on campus, was ransacked by "an unknown student" when it opened around 7 a.m. on Thursday, Rabbi Gabe Greenberg, the center’s executive director, told the Washington Free Beacon.
"As the door was opened, an unknown student ran into the building," Greenberg said in a statement. "He stayed for less than a minute, and while he was in the building he knocked over several pieces of furniture, while shouting antisemitic obscenities about Jewish people." Penn Police soon apprehended the suspect after he fled the building. A police spokesman did not immediately respond to a Free Beacon request for further information.
The incident is certain to escalate fears among Penn’s Jewish and pro-Israel population ahead of a Friday event that will bring vociferous detractors of the Jewish state to campus. The confab, known as the Palestine Writes Festival, has been criticized by pro-Israel voices on campus for its ties to radical anti-Israel agitators and those with alleged links to terror groups.
While the university has condemned some of the speakers for their anti-Semitic rhetoric, it will host the event because of its commitment to "the free exchange of ideas," a university spokesman told the Free Beacon earlier this week.
Hillel executive director Greenberg said it is clear his building was intentionally picked by the vandal and that the timing of the incident is troubling.
"This person did not accidentally choose to enter our building," he said. "He did not accidentally choose to shout antisemitic slogans. He chose our building. He chose to do so just three days before Yom Kippur. He chose to do so one day before a number of speakers are coming to campus who have histories of making antisemitic and hate-filled statements against Jews. This was not a coincidence."
While there do not appear to be any links between the vandalism at Hillel and Friday’s event, tensions on campus had been running high among Jewish and pro-Israel students, a coalition of whom penned an open letter saying they are "concerned that the students will be exposed to anti-Jewish propaganda." Events of this nature, they wrote, "open the Jewish community at Penn to discrimination."
The speakers at Friday’s event include anti-Israel Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters, former Palestinian political prisoner Wisam Rafeedie who writes favorably about terror attacks on Israel, and Salman Abu Sitta, who sits on the advisory board of an Israeli-designated terror group. Others have endorsed violence against Israel, and malign the Jewish state’s supporters as "scum" and "filth."
Marc Lamont Hill will conduct a panel during the event. Hill, who was fired from a gig at CNN for advocating Israel’s destruction, has praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan as "my brother," and refused to distance himself from the prolific anti-Semite.
Another scheduled attendee, Refatt Alareer, is a professor at the Islamic University of Gaza. He often shares anti-Semitic materials on social media and lashes at out Zionists, who he has dubbed "the ugliest, unfunniest, and most untalented people on the globe," according to Camera, a pro-Israel watchdog group.
