Virginia Bell, leading the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion, revealed that witnesses who testified about the Bondi Beach terror attack are facing significant online harassment. This follows the inquiry into the December 14 attack that killed 15 people, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger and a 10-year-old girl. Bell emphasized the seriousness of witness intimidation and stated that the commission is documenting these incidents, with at least one case referred to the Australian Federal Police. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese launched the inquiry in January after Jewish leaders raised concerns about rising antisemitism. Testimonies from witnesses like Natalie Levy highlighted the normalization of antisemitism in Australia, with children facing hate speech and symbols in schools. Jillian Segal, the special envoy to combat antisemitism, also noted a troubling trend of increasing hatred towards Jews, describing it as becoming 'almost fashionable.'
