The Royal Commission on Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion has heard further evidence from Jewish Australians who have been targeted due to their religion. The second day of public hearings was told that Jewish Australians have had to endure verbal abuse and death threats in public places; in one instance a victim of anti-Semitism was told by NSW police that his complaint would not be investigated because it would be a "wasted effort". The Executive Council of Australian Jewry’s co-CEO Peter Wertheim said the far right had been largely responsible for anti-Semitism in past years; however, he noted that the far left and Islamist groups have become drivers of anti-Semitism since the anti-Israel movement started to gather pace in Australia.
