01 · THE DISPATCH

An Australian woman was subjected to an antisemitic verbal assault by a Vodafone employee during a customer service interaction, according to a report by The Jerusalem Post. The employee allegedly called the customer a 'dirty Zionist' after becoming frustrated while helping her with a device issue, then escalated by shouting 'Free Palestine' and filming the woman without her consent. The incident, which occurred Thursday, was reported by the customer and is now under internal review by Vodafone. No statement from Vodafone has been published as of this bulletin. The case echoes a series of antisemitic incidents globally that The Zioneer has tracked, including a New York subway assault and a delivery refusal over an Israeli flag, though this is the first report involving a corporate customer-service setting.
