Ayon kay Associate Professor David Slucki, Direktor ng Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation, karaniwang inilalarawan ang antisemitism bilang “pagkamuhi sa mga Hudyo o racism laban sa kanila,” ayon sa panayam niya sa SBS Examines.
“It could be in antisemitic abuse, symbols, epithets, graffiti. It could be intimidating Jews on the base of their Jewishness. It could be excluding them from social, cultural, political life. It’s basically anything that prevents Jews from being fully fledged equal members of the societies in which they live,” aniya.
Si Nomi Kaltmann naman ay isang Orthodox-Jewish na babae na nakatira sa Melbourne. Ayon sa kanya, mas lumaki ang takot sa kanilang komunidad simula nang maganap ang mga pag-atake noong Oktubre 7, 2023.
“We're still proud Jews and we still live as Jews. We are just a little bit more vigilant than we were previously,” saad niya.
“In any synagogue across Melbourne, there will be an armed guard outside just to protect the congregants. And I think most Australians will be surprised to hear that this is how Jewish are living in this country. But I would say it's quite upsetting to live like this, and I've gotten used to it, but I don't accept that this is how Jewish people should live in this country.”
Sa episode na ito ng Understanding Hate, tinatalakay natin ang epekto ng antisemitism sa Australia sa kasalukuyan.
