Jewish girl feels safer in Israeli bomb shelter than in Australia

J-Wire has covered public hearings to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion with witnesses giving their experiences of antisemitism in the media and online.

J-Wire has reported, “Mr Ostrovsky told the commission his daughter, who had spent much of her life in Israel, felt safer there during wartime than she did in Australia.

“This is the same daughter who, when we go to school, has to go through not one or two, but at least three layers of security,” he said.”

As reported, “A 2024 study by the Melbourne-based Online Hate Prevention Institute found a fivefold rise in anti-Jewish content on social media in the months after the Hamas-led attacks in Israel on 7 October 2023.”
