‘We’re worried about you’: Israel fears for Australia’s antisemitism crisis

Australian Jewish Association CEO Robert Gregory warns Australia’s international reputation has been severely damaged, revealing Israelis are now expressing concern about the surge in antisemitism despite living in a country at war.

“It’s a shocking indictment on what’s happened in Australia over the last couple of years,” Mr Gregory told Sky News host James Macpherson.

“I’m just returning from Israel and so many people, when they hear I’m from Australia, their first reaction is, ’ We’re so worried about you; what’s happening over there, and this is a country at war.

“This is the impression that people around the world are getting of Australia.”
