A survey conducted by the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia revealed that 80% of Jewish women have experienced antisemitism, either personally or through family members, in the past two years. This data was presented during a royal commission into antisemitism, which is currently in its second week of public hearings following the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel that resulted in the deaths of 1,200 individuals. The survey, which collected responses from over 600 participants between July 2025 and February 2026, found that 20% of those surveyed or their relatives had faced physical violence or verbal abuse. Additionally, 69% reported being labeled as genocidal for their Jewish identity. Some respondents shared harrowing personal experiences, including one woman who was verbally abused in a Queensland hospital and another whose child was physically assaulted at school. The commission also heard from community leaders who emphasized the need for a systemic approach to combat antisemitism, as existing resources are insufficient to address the rising incidents effectively.
