Antisemitic abuse has been found on a King’s School WhatsApp group.
Students at the prestigious private school in Sydney, New South Wales exchanged antisemitic and racist rhetoric on a WhatsApp group called “Studies of Religion Group Chat” in late April. One pupil wrote: “I’m cool with muzzlims and pretty much everyone as long as they aren’t J*wish or F*ench [sic].” Another pupil responded: “[student’s name] hates the jews [sic].”
Leading figures within the New South Wales Jewish community stated that they were “shocked and deeply saddened” by this incident.
The New South Wales Government has introduced a portal through which students and families can digitally report incidents in future.
Campaign Against Antisemitism reports on news and incidents relating to antisemitism worldwide.
