Tensions are rising in Australia. Antisemitism, particularly against Jewish Australians, is skyrocketing!
We need to fight this deadly disease and need allies from everywhere—anyone who is willing to stand up and say, “Stop the hate!”
Australia, known for its multiculturalism and emphasis on “the fair go”, has recently seen a troubling rise in antisemitic incidents. Since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas War last October, the Jewish community in Australia has seen a 738 percent increase in antisemitic incidents.1 Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles told ABC News that “he believed he had seen more anti-Semitism in the past few months than he had seen in his lifetime”.2 According to the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), there were 662 reported antisemitic incidents in Australia in 2023, an 803 per cent spike from 35 incidents in October 2022.3 In light of these events, ECAJ co-CEO Alex Ryvchin stated: “Parents are speaking to their children about not disclosing their Jewishness in public, about hiding Jewish attire and symbols.”4
Now, because of the conflict in the Middle East, we fear those numbers will increase.
