Summary

In a time of escalating antisemitic hate across the U.S. and around the world, New York City takes a bold step: Mayor Eric Adams formally adopts the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism and urges the City Council to codify it into law. On this special Dr. Phil Primetime event, we confront the uncomfortable reality: Jewish families are being targeted, students are being harassed, and silence has become complicity. From the frontlines of campus chaos to city halls and synagogues, Dr. Phil and Mayor Adams bring together victims, advocates, and leaders to ask: Is America finally ready to define—and fight—antisemitism? Or are we watching history repeat itself in real time?
