An Australian royal commission examining antisemitism has entered its fourth day of public hearings, receiving testimony from Jewish Australians who described being verbally abused, pressured to hide their identities, and forced out of professional roles since the Hamas attacks of 7 October 2023. A Sydney nurse, speaking under a pseudonym, said colleagues called her "Zionist scum" and that she was paralysed with fear before undergoing surgery following reports that nurses at another hospital had threatened to kill Jewish patients. Jillian Segal, Australia's special envoy to combat antisemitism, told the commission that hostility toward Jewish people had become "almost fashionable" among younger Australians, driven partly by social media influencers conflating Jewish identity with Israeli government policy — a trend she described as the country's fastest-growing form of antisemitism.
