NIF Condemns Antisemitic Attack, Calls for Decisive Action from Australian Government

06/12/2024 – Sydney

The New Israel Fund condemns the arson attack on Adass Israel in Melbourne and urges the government to take decisive action to respond to this antisemitic violence.

This terrible attack on innocent civilians cannot be tolerated, we must respond swiftly to ensure that Jewish Australians are protected and continue to feel safe and secure in the multicultural Australia that we all know and cherish.

We welcome the bipartisan condemnation of this arson and urge political leaders to show true leadership in fighting for social cohesion here in Australia.
