Dear Colleagues,

Since the recent anti Israel rhetoric in media, Internet and demonstrations, two incidents of physical assault have been reported at Sydney University: a Jewish student was assaulted because he was wearing a kippah and a non-Jewish student was targeted due to his pro-Israel views.

Do you know of any attacks or threats to students on your campus? Have you yourself been intimidated by staff or students because you are Israeli, Jewish or a known supporter of Israel?

Please report all instances to:

Peter Wertheim AM,
Executive Director of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ):
pwertheim@ecaj.org.au or phone 02 8353 8500
With regards,
