Introduction

Crossroads25 was commissioned to provide rigorous, longitudinal data, complexity and a data driven focus of antisemitism work in Australia.

The balance of opinion

Despite October 7 and the Gaza war, stereotypical antisemitic (Judeophobic) attitudes have not increased in Australia.

What Australians know

There is widespread ignorance about the October 7 massacre, and most Australians are uncertain or unwilling to take sides in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.

Variation across population segments

Opinions about Israel and, to a lesser extent Jews, vary based on age, gender, geographic and political alignment.

Strongly-held views

On most issues, a higher proportion of respondents have strong positive than strong negative views but there are some concerning exceptions.

Changes since Crossroads21

Australian attitudes to Israel are stable on average, but there are pockets of sharp change

Summary

The findings obtained by Crossroads25 provide a nuanced understanding of Australian attitudes to Jews and Israel, highlighting generational changes.
