Anti-Semitism rise unexpected ‘in my lifetime’: Australian Jewish Association president

The rise of anti-Semitism in Australian society is something which has been unexpected “in my lifetime”, Australian Jewish Association President David Adler says. “We’re shocked by what’s happened in Australia across Australian society, I didn’t expect in my lifetime to see the explosion of anti-Semitism,” Mr Adler told Sky News host James Macpherson. “The statistics – are really only the surface, if you look at the nature of the incidents, they’re completely different. “We have had numerous death threats, we have seen assaults in our community – In a meeting I had with counter terrorisms police a few weeks ago – I asked them, have there been any significant threats from the Jewish community directed at Muslims, and their answer was zero.” Warning: This video contains distressing content.
