A spokesperson for New Zealand's Jewish community says antisemitism is rising.

The fence of an Auckland Jewish community centre was graffitied overnight, with the words 'Free Gaza, save the kids' and 'Ceasefire'.

It was then set on fire.

Jewish Council spokesperson Juliet Moses says it's hard to quantify, but threats are increasing.

"There's a lot of online abuse, there's in-person death threats, there's a lot of bad stuff happening at schools, where children have been quite seriously bullied."
