Statement from Michele Goldman, Chief Executive of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies

Thursday, 27 March 2025

 

The comments captured in this video make plain what we already knew, activists are working hard to make Jews uncomfortable on campus.

That anyone thinks saying this out loud is acceptable demonstrates how big the problem is on our university campuses.

Calls for one group of Australians to target another undermine social cohesion and attack the Australian values we all hold dear.

Jewish students and staff have a right to study and work without being harassed and targeted.

We have sought urgent advice from UTS about why this hate is being allowed to be preached on campus.

We’ve seen some recent progress on university campuses, but this shows just how much further this needs to go.

Jewish students and staff have been living with this kind of hatred for months, they are exhausted.
