A new report by a US-based organization says Australia has recorded a 246% increase in anti-Semitic incidents since before the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel. The coverage in both outlets attributes the figure to the report and frames it as a sharp rise in incidents related to anti-Semitism following the start of the Israel–Hamas war period. The articles describe the increase as a surge measured over time from a baseline prior to Oct. 7, but they do not provide additional breakdowns such as the number of incidents, specific types of incidents, or how data is collected. Neither article names the organization in the provided text or details methodology, limits, or regional distribution. Overall, both sources present the same core claim: that anti-Semitic incidents in Australia rise by 246% according to the US group’s report, and that this change is linked to the period after Oct. 7, 2023. The reports focus on the headline increase rather than offering further context or figures.
