Anti-Semitic graffiti was discovered at a Rockingham beach in Perth, prompting condemnation from locals and the Australian Jewish Association. The graffiti, which included the phrase “F… the Jews,” was removed quickly by city officials. This incident coincided with Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Sydney to mourn victims of terrorist attacks, highlighting a troubling surge in anti-Semitism in Australia. Local leaders emphasize the need for political and social reflection to combat this normalization of hate.
