  Oh, I'm Jake Fallon. Thank you for listening to the
• 0:08
  slippery slope. So look, it's happening all over
• 0:11
  the world and Australia is definitely not immune.
• 0:14
  This story came through on the ABC news, headline says Jewish
• 0:19
  leader, says no meaningful action taken after foul
• 0:23
  anti-Semitism in Melbourne Street.
• 0:26
  So and Adelaide Jewish Community leader who allegedly he had
• 0:30
  anti-semitic slurs yelled at him on the streets of Melbourne,
• 0:33
  says that six weeks on Victoria Police have taken no meaningful
• 0:38
  action against the offender. So Norman asurela said he was
• 0:42
  celebrating Rosh Hashanah or which is Jewish New Year in
• 0:47
  Melbourne, in late September. When a man used foul
• 0:50
  anti-semitic signs and language toward him, which included,
• 0:55
  making Nazi salutes and expressing a desire for all
• 0:58
  Jewish people. To be killed.
• 1:01
  He's piercing eyes will forever. Haunt me said, I was horrified,
• 1:05
  not only by the verbal assault, but also by the angry and
• 1:09
  contorted facial expressions. The more he said it, the more
• 1:13
  his face became angry and threatening in a speech at Saint
• 1:18
  Francis Xavier is a cathedral, which is next to Adelaide's
• 1:22
  Holocaust Museum, to Mark the anniversary of kristallnacht mr.
• 1:28
  Schouler said it sent a message. Message that people could be
• 1:31
  threatened and intimidated. But action would not necessarily
• 1:35
  be be taken. He said, police attended the
• 1:38
  incident and took the offender into custody but he later found
• 1:42
  out four men had been released without charge.
• 1:44
  No meaningful action had been taken.
• 1:47
  No justice has been delivered. He said this sends a message
• 1:51
  that we can denigrate. Our fellow Australians threaten
• 1:54
  them with death invoke. The most painful aspects of our
• 1:57
  history to taunt and intimidate. And no action will be taken the
• 2:02
  same hatred and Hugh inhumanity that nearly destroyed our people
• 2:07
  and brought ruin to all of Europe exists today.
• 2:11
  It does not merely belong to history in a statement.
• 2:14
  Victorian police said it was seeking more information from
• 2:18
  the complainant to assist with the investigation Victoria.
• 2:23
  Police says, they do not tolerate discrimination or
• 2:28
  victimization and Including that which is motivated by Prejudice.
• 2:32
  Racism or discrimination. All victorians have a right to
• 2:37
  feel safe and secure in their Community.
• 2:39
  Mr. Schouler used his speech to thank a passerby who stayed with
• 2:44
  him during the abuse and volunteered himself as a witness
• 2:47
  telling mr. Schouler, he should not have to
• 2:49
  experience this. He also expressed concern that
• 2:52
  the number of attacks on Jewish people in contemporary
• 2:56
  Australia, Point echoed by other speakers at the event.
• 3:00
  Toots who described anti-Semitism as a growing
• 3:04
  problem throughout the country, it will be this year.
• 3:08
  A group of men were caught on camera, doing the Nazi salute
• 3:12
  outside. The Adelaide Holocaust Museum
• 3:17
  and the museum is also the target of an anti-semitic
• 3:21
  sticker in August. Listen, anti-Semitism is
• 3:25
  definitely growing throughout the whole world Australia.
• 3:28
  Is definitely not. Immune to it, this Fascination.
• 3:33
  I mean, there's always been a weird fascination with a top
• 3:36
  Hitler and Nazis and all this kind of stuff, but it seems to
• 3:39
  be growing here in Australia. Seems to be growing.
• 3:42
  This demonic fascination with, with Hitler, with Nazis, with
• 3:47
  the solute, anti-Semitism is growing in Australia as in the
• 3:52
  rest of the world. I believe we are constantly
• 3:55
  seeing a growing threat towards towards Jewish people.
• 4:00
  More attacks towards Christianity more attacks,
• 4:03
  against the Bible, and media constantly running - oh, bad
• 4:09
  news stories, constantly attacking the Bible.
• 4:12
  There's no way, no way they will never attack the Quran.
• 4:16
  No way the media here in Australia would ever say
• 4:19
  anything would ever degrade the Quran degrade, Muslims, degrade
• 4:25
  Buddhist to grade, seeks to Great, any other religions, It's
• 4:30
  apparently it is only. The Bible is only Christians
• 4:33
  that can be degraded when it comes to our media and we are
• 4:37
  seeing the general public. Now, this rise in anti-Semitism,
• 4:42
  we're seeing that rise throughout the whole of the
• 4:45
  nation. We, as Christians need to rise
• 4:49
  up. We need to pray for our country.
• 4:52
  We need to pray and fast for our country, for our leaders, to
• 4:56
  have the strength to stand up against Justness to fight back
• 5:02
  to push back against the darkness.
• 5:04
  Pray for this nation. It needs Jesus.
• 5:07
  That is my opinion. Thank you for listening to the
• 5:11
  slippery slope.
