A witness who had come to Adass Israel Synagogue to pray saw two masked people spreading an unknown accelerant inside the building at 4:10 a.m., Victoria Police Det. Insp. Chris Murray said.
About 60 firefighters with 17 fire trucks responded to the blaze which Murray said caused extensive damage.
Arson detectives have yet to identify a motive, but Prime Minister Anthony Albanese blamed antisemitism.
“This is an outrage. The violence and intimidation and destruction at a place of worship is something that we should never see in Australia,” Albanese told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
“I think an attack on a synagogue is an act of antisemitism by definition,” Albanese added.
Attacks against Jews and Muslims have increased in Australia since Israel declared war on Hamas in October last year.
The government has appointed special envoys to combat antisemitism and Islamophobia in the community.
Daniel Aghion, president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, said the broader Australian community needed to condemn the arson attack.
“I’ve been getting phone calls this morning from the Hindu community, from other people, from good people who are prepared to stand up and that’s my message for this morning to Australia, to the good people of Australia,” Aghion told reporters.
“Don’t leave the Jewish people behind,” he added.
I blame the prime minister for this, By his actions and his animosity to Israel he has given the green light to all Jew haters that they could attack Jews with impunity.
Lip service
Shul is burning? Islamophobia!
Targeting Jews outside of Israel
No Zionists are aiming at Arabs non terrorists.
And of course nor are Arabs, Muslims and mosques attacked outside of Israel by them.
But Jews, places of worship have been, are being attacked by Arabs. Muslims.
Targeting ultra orthodox
Each and every racist Arab-Muslim attacker (London, Antwerp, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Melbourne, etc.) knows fully well: Haredim, are non Zionists, by in large, object serving in IDF. But this, again, like fascist Arabs taunting Haredi Jews in Jerusalem, proves, everything is about bigotry.
Muslim lobby bloc OIC’s slave: UN and some in media</b
“Thanks” so much for the UN under the boot of Islamist lobby OIC, and its affiliate ICC who never acted against the real genocidal entity ”palestine” – who uses its civilians. But sure knows to promote PallyWeid slurring.
Nor did it act against chemical Assad whith genocidal Islamic fascist republic of Iran having brought about almost 620,000 dead Syrians.
“Thanks” to Hamas’ hosts: Qatar’s owned media (Al-jazeera – also Hamas linked, Middle.East.Eye) who propagates with false narrative and fake news.
“Thanks” to BBC lies and promoting Hamas’ “info.”
Last but not least, “thanks” for that hate-site Haaretz [Haaretzism].
It was always about the hate
Just like anti-Jewish hateful poem, antisemitic canard mixing with idea from their Koran, by Sheikh Suleyman Al Farouki al-Taji wrote in Falastin in Nov 1913 masked as “anti zionist.”

After the war, Hitler’s Mufti (who was also behind Arab-Nazi coup in 1941 Iraq, incited to Farhoud pogrom with other Palestinians such as al-Miqdadi and Zuaiter; intervened against Jewish children about to be saved into Israel; broadcast to all Arabs to murder any Jew “wherever they are, this pleases Allah”; mobilized SS Muslim units, toured concentration camps) – his popularity at Arab Palestine only grew, because of his Nazi activities.
