Calls on the government to do more to put an end to anti-Semitism

Anti-Defamation Commission Advocacy Chair Dvir Abramovich has called on the government to do more to put an end to anti-Semitism here in Australia. “I think we're getting a lot of empty rhetoric, I think we're getting words but we're not getting action. “Anti-Semitism is not just a problem for the Jewish community – this hatred, this radicalism, this violence, it may begin with the Jews but it won’t end with the Jews, this is a whole of society challenge. “We've seen what those anti-Israeli extremists have done – they’ve turned our lives upside down. “We don’t need to wait for the kind of violence that we saw in Israel to erupt on our streets to take these threats seriously. “I have never been more worried about the state of the Jewish community, but also the level of radicalism that we see spreading like wildfire throughout our nation.”
