Responding to the shocking arson attack on the East Melbourne Synagogue last night, Greens Acting Leader, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said:
“The Australian Greens stand with the community in condemning the shocking arson attack on the East Melbourne Synagogue last night.
“Our thoughts are with the families who were gathering inside for Shabbat at the time and for the broader Jewish community who are understandably distressed at such a horrific act of violence.
“There is no place for anti-semitism and violence against Jewish people in Australia.
“Everyone should be able to feel safe in their places of worship and community gatherings and attacks like this cannot be tolerated.
“Hate has no place in our communities and hurts us all.”
