The special messenger of the Australian government, concerned with anti -Semitism, Jalilan Sigggal, announced on Thursday that Australian Jews were feeling “real uncertainty” after threats, sabotage and violence increased against them after the outbreak of war in gas.

A year after its appointment, Sigal published a series of recommendations for combating anti -Semitism and condemned the escalation of violence against Australian Jews.

Since the unprecedented attack of Hamas on South Israel on October 7, 2023 and lit a war in the Gaza Strip, a “very alarming” increase has been registered in anti -Semitism, according to Sigal, according to the French press agency.

The official explained to the press conference that the number of these incidents increased by 300 percent in one year.

She said: “We saw burning cars burning Jewish temples and Jews that are subjected to persecution and attacks. This is completely unacceptable. ”

And when she divided some of these attacks, she said: “These are not isolated accidents, but rather are part of a wider scheme of intimidation and violence. Australian Jews feel uncertain. “

She warned that “this issue should be a source of anxiety for all Australians, because the security and dignity of society concern us all.”
