澳大利亚学术界指出，对反犹太主义的研究存在严重不足的现象。[1]在1990年至2025年间，澳大利亚发表的反犹太主义学术论文仅为173篇，远少于同期3640篇种族主义论文。[1]更值得注意的是，这173篇论文中，只有26篇呈现了新的实证研究数据。[1]相反，有13篇文章并未基于新数据，反而对反犹太主义的存在本身提出异议，或声称反犹太主义指控已被政治化。[1]
学者们强调，反犹太主义具有独特的特征，需要专门的研究来有效应对。[1]国际研究机构的相关发现为此提供了支持。与新加坡社会科学大学温珊合著的研究表明，中国人对犹太人的成功表示钦佩并试图效仿，这暗示嫉妒不必然是反犹太主义的驱动力。[1]以色列瑞希曼大学的研究员Britt Hadar通过研究发现，将犹太人刻板印象为强大的群体是反犹太偏见的关键驱动力。[1]学者们呼吁加强该领域的学术研究，而非陷入关于反犹太主义性质的持续论争。[1]
Australian researchers are urging the academic community to prioritize empirical investigation of antisemitism over ideological disputes about its existence and prevalence.[1] Between 1990 and 2025, Australian scholars published only 173 academic papers on antisemitism compared to 3,640 papers on racism, revealing a significant research gap in understanding this specific form of prejudice.[1] Of those 173 antisemitism papers, merely 26 presented new empirical research, while 13 articles instead contested the existence of antisemitism or claimed that accusations of antisemitism have been politicized rather than contributing original data.[1]
This disparity reflects a troubling paradox: while antisemitism remains understudied in Australian academia, existing research often faces dismissal when findings contradict preexisting viewpoints.[1] International research demonstrates that antisemitism possesses distinctive characteristics requiring targeted scholarly attention.[1] Studies conducted in collaboration with researchers from Singapore Management University have found that Chinese admiration for Jewish success and attempts to emulate it suggest that envy is not necessarily a driving force of antisemitism.[1] Research from Israel's Reichman University further identified that a key driver of antisemitic prejudice is the stereotyping of Jewish people as a powerful group.[1]
