Attributable to David Ossip, NSW Jewish Board of Deputies President 

We are closely liaising with the authorities following reports that a car was set alight and other vehicles were defaced with anti-Israel graffiti in Woollahra overnight. 

This is the latest escalation in a campaign of intimidation and harassment targeted at the Jewish community.

There cannot be any tolerance for criminal behaviour like this, which undermines social cohesion and is antithetical to the Australian values we all hold dear.

The Jewish community will not be intimidated by such acts of criminality and antisemitism. 

We will continue to stand with our fellow Australians to reject acts and words of division and hate which seek to disrupt the societal harmony we all treasure.
