Australia’s prime minister has promised to take strong action following an apparent arson attack on a synagogue in Melbourne.
Police are looking for a man who poured liquid on the synagogue’s front door before setting it on fire on Friday night. Some 20 people having dinner inside at the time were evacuated without any injuries.
Police are also trying to determine if the incident is linked to an attack against a Jewish-owned restaurant in the city on the same night.
Great to see Melbourne’s “anti-fascists” out last night destroying a restaurant, harassing diners and totally not being fascists…
And listen to them all calling each other “comrade”. Such losers. pic.twitter.com/R7OFMz3Y6I

We’re witnessing the first global intifada led by “peace activists”.
A hateful mob in Melbourne, Australia, stormed an Israeli-owned restaurant while shouting the murderous ”death to the IDF” chant. Later, a synagogue was torched while Jewish families were inside. pic.twitter.com/MY47DWPzrD— Elad Simchayoff (@Elad_Si) July 5, 2025
