"Well, because I see, you know, people are doing, being anti Semitic just openly, and there doesn't seem to be a whole heck of a lot of pushback. There seems to be a lot of excuses for it. If Jews-, anti-Semitic attacks, whatever, Jews deserved it. If Jews retaliate, it's the Jews' fault. No matter what it is, it's the Jews' fault. So that is the world we live in right now, and people want to make excuses or say, you know, minimize it."
"I've seen it increase over the last couple of years, and I've been a victim, if you want to call it. I have pretty thick skin. I've said it over and over, but no matter what the Jews do right now, it's their fault. Colleges, what other-, you see colleges where Jews are openly being intimidated on campus and administrators do nothing, and just allow it and it just increases, and increases, increases."
An attack targeted Jews celebrating the first night of Hannukah on Bondi Beach, causing sadness and shock. Anti-Semitic incidents are appearing alongside other global tragedies, contributing to a pervasive sense of inevitability. Open expressions of anti-Semitism have increased, often met with limited pushback and excuses that blame Jewish victims regardless of circumstances. Jewish individuals report being targeted on college campuses where administrators frequently fail to intervene, allowing intimidation to escalate. Personal accounts include being subjected to hateful signage and public harassment, while public reaction sometimes elevates perpetrators. The cumulative effect is growing fear, frustration, and resignation among Jewish communities.
