‘Enough Is Enough’: AIJAC's Joel Burnie on Violence, Hate and Safety in Australia

“We are at a point now where the NSW Police Commissioner is very, very concerned about his inability to protect a segment of Australian society.” Speaking on Sky News Australia, AIJAC’s Joel Burnie warns that Australia has reached a deeply troubling moment – one where Jewish Australians are being told they may not be safe on their own streets. This is not about peaceful protest or free speech. It is about violent rhetoric, intimidation, and hatred spilling into violence. No Australian should feel unsafe because of events thousands of kilometres away. As we enter Shabbat – a time of peace and reflection – the call is clear: violence and hate must come off our streets. And EVERY Australian must feel protected. Shabbat Shalom. ✨🪬🕊️ Watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMG4dsYFqHw Video: Sky News Australia / AIJAC.
