News of a surge in reported hate crimes in the past few years is invariably met with screeches of “Trump!” and a chorus of blame from the smug elitists in the media, but digging into the figures paints a different picture.

**The bulk of hate crimes are directed at Jews.** The perpetrators increasingly are not the shaven-headed neo-Nazis (although the fringe right still has a significant rump of anti-Semitism that must be resolutely confronted) of the media’s febrile imaginations. Instead, while anti-Semitism is becoming horrifyingly common on the political left (indeed, almost endemic in Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour), crime data in Australia shows that **certain migrant groups** are shockingly over-represented in anti-Semitic hate crimes.

> Josh Frydenberg has called for Australians to be better educated about the Holocaust after reports of two apparently anti-Semitic events in which a 12-year-old was **forced to kiss the shoes of a Muslim classmate** and a five-year-old was allegedly named a “Jewish cockroach”.

A decade ago, Christopher Hitchens wrote of seeing swastika symbols plastered in supposedly cosmopolitan Beirut. Mass Muslim immigration in Britain and Europe has likewise been associated with a shocking rise of anti-Semitic violence. When Muslim extremists murdered the staff of Charlie Hebdo, their concurrent target was a Jewish supermarket. Jews are routinely harassed and attacked, in France, the Netherlands and Germany.

It should surprise no-one to see the same script being played out, here in Australia.

> The Treasurer said he was deeply concerned anti-Semitism was creeping into schools following a report in The Jewish News detailing the bullying in Victoria, and reflected a growing trend across the community of a 60 per cent rise in anti-Semitic incidents…

> According to The Jewish News, a Year 7 boy at Cheltenham Secondary College was forced to get down on his knees and kiss another student’s shoes while a five-year-old at Hawthorn West Primary was teased about his circumcised penis to the extent he stopped going to the toilet and wet himself in class.  
>  
> The younger student, who was also reportedly called a “Jewish cockroach”, is being homeschooled and the high school student has changed schools.  
>  
> Anti-Defamation Commission chairman Dvir Abramovich said \[…\]“We are facing a crisis of huge proportions, and unless this growing emergency is tackled head on and effectively, we will see even a greater exodus of young Jewish people out of the public school system.”

Well, as Mark Steyn and Douglas Murray have warned, you can have a tolerant, diverse, liberal society, or you can have mass Muslim immigration. As the Jews, ever the canaries in the coal-mine of hate, are learning, you can’t have both.
