A CARAVAN LOAD OF CRACKS IN OUR COHESION

Dor Foundation: From the ashes comes a plan to tackle the growing scourge of antisemitism

By Cameron Stewart

Standing for the first time amidst the burnt-out ruins of the Melbourne synagogue firebombed in a terror attack, Josh Frydenberg shakes his head in sorrow and anger. Australia “must no longer tolerate the intolerant”, says the former treasurer. “This is not about what is happening in the Middle East, it’s about what is happening in Australia, it’s about the type of society we are.”

A group of wealthy and influential Jewish leaders led by former treasurer Josh Frydenberg and his supporters is launching a fundraising vehicle expected to raise millions to fight antisemitism, including in schools and universities.

Mr Frydenberg, who is the chairman of Goldman Sachs in Australia, has warned that anti-Jewish hatred has spiralled “out of control”. He will chair the newly created Dor Foundation, a not-for-profit group to be led by the former NSW Crime Commission director Tahli Blicblau.

Josh Frydenberg launches foundation to tackle antisemitism

By Matthew Knott

Former treasurer Josh Frydenberg is launching a high-powered foundation to tackle the national surge of antisemitism, with a focus on stopping the targeting of Jewish Australians online and at university.

The launch of the Dor Foundation, whose board includes prominent business leaders and philanthropists, comes just days after the NSW Health Department stood down two nurses for saying they would not treat Israeli patients, and a parliamentary committee called for urgent action to tackle “brazen” antisemitism in higher education.
