New South Wales premier Chris Minns condemned the attack as hateful and divisive while prime minister Anthony Albanese urged for strict legal action, emphasising the importance of inclusivity in Australia’s multicultural society. David Ossip, head of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, said: “No Australian should have to wake up every morning filled with apprehension about whether or not there’s been another anti-Semitic hate crime overnight.” In early December, antisemitic slogans were scrawled on buildings and footpaths in Woollahra and an advertising board in Sefton, a western Sydney suburb, was defaced. Alex Ryvchin, co-chief of the executive council of Australian Jewry, wrote on X: “As long as these people evade justice for trying to terrorise Australian citizens, it will continue.” “We’re also calling on our fellow Australians, particularly those in positions of influence across society, to end the silence and publicly denounce this behaviour as repugnant to our national values and a threat to us all.”
