  • Protesters descend on Martin Place in Sydney, Australia to decry antisemitic attacks
The backdrop of the march included memorials, flowers and signs which marked 10 years since two people were killed in the Sydney siege in 2014

The rally follows two major antisemitic attacks across Australia in the past few weeks

  • Fire bombing of Adass Israel synagogue in Ripponlea
Adass Israel synagogue in Ripponlea, Melbourne's south-east, in Victoria was gutted by fire earlier this month, in an incident later declared a likely terrorist attack

The arson attack left the local Jewish community in deep shock

  • anti-Israel slogans and car set on fire in Woollahra
Multiple properties at Woollahra, in New South Wales were also sprayed with *anti-Israel slogans, in the days following while a Toyota Corolla was destroyed by fire

The peaceful protest comes after residences in Woollahra, Sydney's east, in New South Wales were graffitied with “kill Israiel” (sic) and “death 2 Israiel” (sic) in front of a burning car Shows the pro-Palestinian, antisemitic's ignorance -- Can't even spell Israel

Woollahra is home to many Jewish community members though police said,
