Australia's government antisemitism envoy told a royal commission that hatred toward Jews has become "almost fashionable" among Australians since October 2023. Jillian Segal said young people adopt antisemitic views from online influencers, while conflating Israel's government with Jewish people represents the nation's fastest-growing form of antisemitism. Jewish workers have faced workplace harassment, pressure to resign, and exclusion from professional spaces.
