Drawing the Line on Campus Hate | Perth News
Description
The Royal Commission’s fourth round of hearings kicks off in Melbourne, home to Australia’s largest Jewish community, as it tackles the urgent challenge of distinguishing criticism of Israel from targeted anti-Semitism against Jewish Australians — especially on campuses. Witnesses, some using fake names for safety, share harrowing stories of online abuse, Nazi salutes in classrooms, physical attacks, and slurs like “baby killers” and “Zionist.” Jewish students and staff report feeling forced to hide their identity, while the Commission stresses that assumptions about Jewish political views are dangerous and that the line between criticism and hate must be drawn — even when it’s hard.
