Can we also keep in mind that often the "antisemitism" claimed is NOT REAL eg graffiti that says, "FREE PALESTINE" or "END THE GAZA GENOCIDE" is NOT antisemitic.
HOWEVER, the RACISM and ISLAMOPHOBIA that non-white and Muslim Australians experience IS ACTUALLY REAL. #auspol

Is it just me or are suddenly billionaires becoming less like bill gates and Warren buffet, putting their billions back into society, less like paragons of entrepreneurial spirit and more like Bond Villains looking to control the world, with no morals and no conscience, not even a fluffy whit cat?
