Last night, a terrible act of antisemitic vandalism occurred in the streets of Woollahra, a suburb in the eastern part of Sydney. It was a shocking sight to see as one car was set on fire and several others were covered in spray-paint. The attack also extended to buildings, causing widespread damage and concern.
The incident was reported to the police at around 12:35 am, and they arrived at the scene promptly. Thankfully, the fire was extinguished quickly and no one was hurt. However, the damage had already been done. It was discovered that 10 cars parked on various streets, including Wellington, Tara, Fullerton, and Ocean, had been targeted with graffiti. Even a unit complex on Ocean Street was not spared from this despicable act.
The authorities are currently investigating the incident and are urging anyone with information or footage to come forward and contact Waverly Police Station or Crime Stoppers. More updates are expected to be provided by the investigators later this morning.
The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, expressed his dismay at the incident, stating that the images from the scene were deeply troubling. He made it clear that there is no place for antisemitism in Australia and that conflicts from other parts of the world should not be used as an excuse for prejudice at home.
Similarly, Premier Chris Minns condemned the attack, calling it absolutely deplorable. He emphasized that such behavior is not acceptable in Australia and will not be tolerated. He also reassured the Jewish community that their safety and security are of utmost importance to the government.
The graffiti found on the cars included offensive slogans such as "F---- Israel" and "PKK coming." It is believed that the latter refers to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, a group listed as a terrorist organization in Australia. However, it is yet to be confirmed if this is the same group being referenced in the graffiti.
