A 34-year-old woman faces a slew of charges relating to an anti-Semitic firebombing and vandalism attack. Graffiti including “Kill Israiel” was sprayed on buildings and footpaths in Woollahra, a Sydney suburb known for its Jewish community, in the early hours of December 11. A car, believed to be stolen, which the perpetrators drove to the scene, was set on fire. The total estimated value of the damage is about $20,000, police say.
The arrest comes days after the former home of outspoken Jewish community leader Alex Ryvchin was targeted in an anti-Semitic attack, involving torched cars, anti-Jewish slurs and red paint. There was also an arson and graffiti attack on a synagogue in the inner-Sydney suburb of Newtown and the firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue in December. NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb on Friday reaffirmed her commitment to finding the perpetrators of the recent spate in anti-Semitic incidents.
