A synagogue in Allawah, South Sydney, was defaced with swastikas and hateful graffiti, including messages glorifying Adolf Hitler. Additional slogans, such as “Hitler on top,” the Arabic phrase “Allah hu Akbar,” “Free Palestine,” “F**k Israel” and “Jew dogs,” were spray-painted on the building’s exterior walls. Local police discovered the vandalism during a routine patrol early Friday and have opened a hate crime investigation. (…) New South Wales Police Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna assured the public that the investigation includes counter-terrorism detectives, and pledged to bring the perpetrators to justice. He called the incident “disgusting” and warned those responsible that they would face prosecution. Security camera footage revealed two individuals, both masked and dressed in black hoodies, committing the crime. David Ossip, president of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, and Alex Ryvchin, co-chief executive of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, urged the community to reject antisemitism and called for swift arrests.
