In both east to west, Australia was struck with a series of
antisemitic graffiti over the weekend.
In Bondi, a suburb of Sydney, Jewish women were egged on
Saturday night, with the perpetrators fleeing in their vehicle. In other
suburbs of Sydney, residents woke up on Sunday to find their property was
defaced with messages such as "f*ck Jews."
"Can I just say to those individuals that were in that
car last night, it might be best if you come forward straight away, because we
will track you down," Superintendent Darren Newman said.
Similar messages were spray-painted in a Perth suburb, on
the western coast of Australia.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has come under fire for the
continued antisemitic attacks in recent months, despite an attack being
thwarted in Sydney last week.
New South Wales police said 10 people were arrested in the
past week and a half.
"The epidemic of antisemitism is spreading in Australia
almost unchecked. We expect the Australian government to do more to stop this
disease," said Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar.
