Conflation of Jewish identity with Israel driving antisemitism, Jewish Council says in submission to royal commission

The Jewish Council of Australia (JCA) attributes rising antisemitism in Australia to far-right extremism and the conflation of Jewish identity with Israel, as stated in their submission to the royal commission on antisemitism and social cohesion. The group advocates for addressing the 'often-overlooked' far-right threat and acknowledging diverse Jewish community perspectives instead of treating Jews collectively as representatives of Israel.
