According to police officials, vandals spray painted red swastikas outside the entrance to an inner-city synagogue early on Saturday, while a house in Sydney's affluent east was daubed with anti-Jewish slurs.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, '[There is] no place in Australia, our tolerant multicultural community, for this sort of criminal activity,' referring to the Southern Sydney Synagogue incident.
The incidents have also strained Australia's relations with Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Albanese's Labor Party government of encouraging such attacks with anti-Israel policies.
Unfortunately, this criminal act cannot be separated from the anti-Israel spirit, highlighting a connection between rising anti-Semitism and broader geopolitical tensions.
