Those who took to the streets of Melbourne are fundamentally driven by a hatred of Jews. Such people have always been here, but the murders, rapes and abductions that took place on October 7, 2023, emboldened them. And as long as protests accompanied by chants of “Zionists are terrorists”, “death to the IDF”, “globalise the intifada” and “from the river to the sea” continue, violence directed at the Jewish community and its institutions will follow.
