In a report submitted to the Executive Council of Australian Jewry last week, it was noted that anti-Semitic acts in Australia doubled this past year as compared with the previous eighteen years. In the 12 months previous to October Australian Jews suffered 652 anti-Semitic instances.
Researcher Jeremy Jones noted in his report a Muslim source for some of the anti-Semitism. He said that there is a “negative impact of material from a variety of oversees sources which has as its thesis an eternal enmity of Muslims towards Jews.”
