Video shows antisemitic road rage abuse in Adelaide's CBD

A video has surfaced showing antisemitic road rage abuse in Adelaide's Central Business District. The Anti Defamation Commission released footage of a Jewish woman visiting Adelaide from Melbourne, who was subjected to vile abuse on her first day in the city. In the video, a man in another car can be heard yelling at the Jewish passengers in the car, calling them "gutless c***s" and asking if they are Jewish.

The car then speeds away, cutting in front of traffic to avoid being caught. The Anti Defamation Commission's chairman, Dvir Abramovich, stated that the incident was out of the blue and had no context or interaction between the Jewish passengers and the abusive individual. The woman, a Melbourne resident, was visiting another Jewish person in Adelaide to assess if the city would be a suitable place for relocation due to fears of rising antisemitism in Melbourne.

Dr. Abramovich expressed the irony of the situation, emphasizing that the Israeli-Jewish woman was exposed to the worst level of Jew hatred on her first day in Adelaide. While SA Police have not received any formal report regarding the footage, they encourage the owner of the video to contact the police with details of the incident.
