Australian Jewish leaders have condemned anti-Israel activists for publishing a list of Jews.

On Wednesday, the names and personal details of 600 people from the creative industries who had joined a private WhatsApp group were published by pro-Palestine campaigners. 

In a spreadsheet shared widely online, they listed the names of Australian Jews alongside links to their social media accounts and a photo gallery with pictures of 100 people.

While some members of the group had lobbied media organisations to reprimand journalists they percieved to have been antisemitic, others insist they were not using the chat for activism.
