There have been several spectacular apparent antisemitic incidents in Australia recently, including swastika graffiti and a caravan full of explosives and antisemitic messages. On 19/1/25, the prime minister said "foreign actors" may have paid local crooks to carry out these crimes. No-one has been charged, but the suspects are "low-level crooks" with no history of politics. It is difficult to understand how genuine violent antisemites would be motivated or able to carry out attacks on this scale. Neo-Nazis are too unsophisticated, and Islamic extremists don't usually paint swastikas, but the Australian Jewish Association says 'WE NEED TO MOVE THE ARABS ("PALESTINIANS") AWAY FROM ISRAEL It is the ONLY solution': https://x.com/AustralianJA/status/1894244538920964106?t=fPnhoMxB1QziXhQM27fpEw&s=19
