| ‘Un-Australian’: Sydney home previously owned by Jewish activist vandalized, cars torched in antisemitic attack |
| 2025-01-17 |
| [IsraelTimes] Australian authorities say a Sydney home that was previously owned by a senior Jewish community leader was vandalized and two cars set on fire overnight, amid a series of antisemitic incidents in the city in recent months. The attack, the third targeting the Jewish community in Sydney in two months, happened on a property once owned by Alex Ryvchin, the co-chief executive of the Executive Council of the Australian Jewry, according to New South Wales Premier Chris Minns. “These are horrifying antisemitic attacks… it is truly disgusting,” Minns says during a media conference. “While police can’t categorically at this early stage of the investigation say that the attack and the residence are linked, clearly it would be a massive coincidence if they were not linked.” Police say the house in the upscale suburb of Dover Heights was spray painted in red. There are no reports of injury. “I tell you no fire, no vandalism, no paint, no threats, no intimidation will stop me. I will continue to fulfill my duty to my country, my community, and my people,” Ryvchin tells reporters after the incident, vowing to continue advocating for the Jewish community. New South Wales state police minister Yasmin Catley vows to “hunt” down the perpetrators. “We will find you and lock you up,” Catley says. “What we are seeing on our streets is totally un-Australian.” |

| #4 Just as a point of order, Australian Authorities, it was just a couple of years ago Australian meant locking people in their homes, citizens turning in their neighbors, taking children from parents, forced experimental medical procedures, and camps. Oh, and arrest warrants for sharing memes which disparage dear leader. |

| #3 The lesson there, SteveS, is not only Don’t be Jewish, but also do not buy from a Jew, even by accident, lest you be forced to share their pain. To be followed by functional bans on selling to and standing in the vicinity of those people. Ghettos and expulsions keep everyone safer. |

| #2 "Previously owned" - Unless that means something different in Australian, the house *was* owned by a Juice but is not now, which means the moron(s) vandalized the wrong house. Dollars to donuts, there was an internet search involved, most likely AI assisted. Score one for ChatGPT! |
