A collection of pro-Palestinian activists collected and published the names, photos, and social media accounts of 600 people from the creative industry whom they deem “Zionist,” according to multiple media reports from Friday and a statement from the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies.
The spreadsheet listed numerous Australian Jews, many of whom were vocally critical of Israel, according to the Jewish Chronicle. In addition, many of the listed parties had never publicly supported Israel but had called for journalists who published antisemitic content to be reprimanded.
Some of the listed parties have received death threats, and at least one Jewish family was forced to go into hiding, according to an online statement by the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies.
The board also claimed that the list included photos of Jewish children, and a 5-year-old child had been the recipient of threats as a result.
“I have been vocally critical of Israel, was not added to the group and specially said I didn’t want to be in that group, and my name is on the spreadsheet,” a Jewish Australian journalist told the Sydney Morning Herald. “I am not a Zionist, I have never been a Zionist, I am just a Jewish woman trying to go about my life. This is a group of any Jew they know the name of. I can’t believe it is happening.”
