I’m going to guess that the Muslims are being antisemitic and that the locals are being islamophobic. Can’t get past the paywall 🤷♂️
Antisemitic attacks have been going up for some years and nobody talks about it down under. You have to know what to look for to find articles about it, it’ll never be front page news generally
Edit: neglected to mention Islamophobia has been a perennial issue since ’01

The Bondi Beach and nearby Bondi Junction are the biggest Jewish communities in Sydney. A lot seem to come from Russia with no obvious affiliation to Israel.
Great. Everybody hating on everybody. Just what the world needs
Gotta “All Lives Matter” this headline huh?
So the Sydney Opera house was showing Israeli colours after the attack and the demographic was chanting gas the J*ws.
Nvr see Jews attack Muslims outside of Israel-Palestine. Always that violent pro Palestinian attacked 1st.
A view of previous year’s report on islamophobia by the same organization that reported it in the article suggests that the majority of incidents appear online, and nearly all of the examples brought were made by Indians:
Article is behind a paywall. I figured anti Semitic incidents would have surged as they have literally everywhere. Didn’t know that Islamophobic incidents have too, at least in person. The internet is a big place so you can find anti whatever sentiment on it pretty easily.
When you hear news of pro-palestinian protestors killing old people using megaphones, stabbing a woman dead, storming hotels and airports looking for jews to kills…
You can’t blame the ordinary folks if they get scared and fearful of their lives.
Reminds me of the CNN article with a similar title “antisemitism and islamophobia on the rise”
And when you actually read the article it’s 1350% rise in antisemitism and 140% islamophobia.
This pathetic excuse to paint both sides as equally violent or wrong is plain dishonest and wrong
Ahhh, equality. Who else can we make fun of?
Great, the far-right has a lovely time. They can hate muslims and jews at the same time.
There was a comment about what “Islamophobia” actually is, but now it’s deleted. Tells you everything you need to know about Reddit.
Antisemitism and Islamophobia are not equivalent.
Antisemitism is directed at the Jewish *people*.
Islamophobia is directed at the Islamic *religion*.
Conflating the two terms is an attempt to shut down criticism of a religion. *Religion* should not be above criticism. Hatred of *people* is what should be shut down.
Putin must be wanking himself silly.
The world seems pretty united behind Ukraine. How can I get them at each others throats? Aha!
Don’t forget to thank our good friend Religion for once again sparking conflicts across the globe.
Once again. Religion doing it best to completely mess up the world. It was supposed to do the exact opposite.
Too many people are easily radicalised these days.
Serious question. What is the difference between antisemitic and islamaphobia? Feels like different names for the same thing.
“Not Like Self. Must Hate.”
Surge everywhere* fixed that for you
Yes we all know the worst part of: 9/11, Madrid bombing, UK tube bombing, India train bombing, Charlie Hebdo…….. was the Islamophobia that occurred afterwards.
What does Australia have to do with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Absolutely nothing. Australia’s a far away country that shouldn’t feel any effects whatsoever.
I mean there was a video of a large group of people chanting gas the jews. Is anyone surprised?
Just want to let everyone know that Sydney is a very small part of Australia and utterly irrelevant to the majority of Australians that don’t live there.
It’s mostly whites doing it. The Jews and Muslims are just wanting to exist
I’m unironically voting One Nation next election.
Antisemitic acts have gone up over 1300% the last few weeks while islamophobic acts were about 140%, both are horrible, but equating the two (as the title suggests) is cynical to say the least
