Indigenous academic Marcia Langton testified before Australia’s antisemitism royal commission, detailing the racial abuse she endured for publicly supporting Jewish Australians. Professor Langton revealed she was targeted with hateful messages and attacks following statements of solidarity. The abuse, she stated, stemmed from the conflation of criticisms of Israel with antisemitism and included accusations of betraying her Aboriginal identity. Langton emphasized the importance of distinguishing legitimate criticism of Israeli government policies from prejudice against Jewish people. She argued that defending the Jewish community is a crucial aspect of fighting all forms of racism. Her testimony highlights the complexities of navigating discussions surrounding Israel and antisemitism in the public sphere, and the personal costs faced by those who speak out against hate. The commission is investigating antisemitism in Australia and will deliver its findings later this year.
