UN condemns antisemitic abuse at children's netball game in Sydney

Sunday, 10 May 2026, 06:19 · 1 min read

Australian police are investigating an antisemitic incident that occurred during an under-12s netball match in Sydney between the Jewish-affiliated Maccabi club and the Saints Netball Club at Heffron Park in the city's Maroubra suburb. A 42-year-old woman allegedly directed offensive remarks at Jewish players and families watching the game and was issued a move-on direction by officers. The incident has drawn condemnation from Jewish community leaders and sports bodies across New South Wales, and comes as Australia's royal commission into antisemitism holds its first public hearings — prompted by a deadly terror attack at a beachside Hanukkah celebration.
