‘Never felt so intimidated’: Jewish-Australian communities ‘under threat’ by protests

Former Israeli ambassador Dave Sharma says he has been “shocked and disappointed” after Jewish communities were disrupted in their own suburbs by protesters. “I’ve been shocked and disappointed with how some of our fellow Australians have responded to this,” Mr Sharma told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “The Jewish community has never felt so under threat, has never felt so intimidated, or under siege. “I certainly never thought they’d see scenes like this here in Australia … the Jewish community has always been an incredibly valuable part of Australian public and private life.” Mr Sharma sat down with Mr Kenny to discuss the rise of anti-Semitic protesting in Australia.
