Elyse Schachna, president of the Australian Jewish group Zionism Victoria, told JNS, “We don’t yet know intent, but when only one vehicle bearing a Jewish symbol is targeted, it cannot be ignored. Isolated incidents do not happen in a vacuum. Violence grows where extremist rhetoric is normalized. It would be a terrible day for Australian Jewry if people began to fear displaying their identity in public, and we cannot allow it to reach that point.”
