Since October 7, the rhetoric of anti-Israel activists around the world— has repeatedly and relentlessly dehumanized Jews. Chants that justify Hamas' sexual violence, glorify terrorism, and make Jews and Israelis legitimate targets have gone unchecked by too many leaders. The firebombing of Melbourne's busiest synagogue yesterday is what "globalize the intifada" looks like.

The attacks in Melbourne should be a warning signal to Australia, which has become one of the world's leading epicenters of antisemitism.
