Inquiry hears of 340 per cent rise in anti-Semitic incidents

  • An inquiry in NSW parliament began on May 19, 2025, examining a 340 per cent rise in anti-Semitic incidents since October 7, 2023.
  • The rise followed the Hamas attack on Israel and subsequent protests, which triggered reports of new and severe anti-Semitic acts targeting the Jewish community.
  • The inquiry heard about incidents such as a student sharing an offensive image at Rose Bay Secondary College and mandatory private security in synagogues for community safety.
  • David Ossip, president of the Jewish Board of Deputies, explained that most of the reported cases are not connected to Israel or Zionism, but instead represent clear examples of traditional anti-Semitism.
  • The inquiry aims to identify causes, assess risks to social cohesion, and explore how to improve safety, while some voices warn the debate may conflate political speech with racial hatred.
