NSW: Parramatta Synagogue attacked a second time
SYDNEY, Aug 15 AAP - A Sydney synagogue has been damaged in what Jewish leaders say
is the latest of a string of anti-semitic attacks within weeks.
NSW Jewish Board of Deputies chief executive Vic Alhadeff said the front door of the
Parramatta Synagogue was damaged by blocks of cement hurled at it in the overnight attack.
The incident comes just weeks after projectiles were thrown at the synagogue's roof
and blocks of concrete were thrown at two cars, in an attack believed linked to the violence
between Lebanon and Israel.
In another incident two weeks ago, an attempt was made to set alight a Jewish youth
movement centre at Bondi.
Mr Alhadeff condemned the escalating numbers of anti-semitic attacks as "a deplorable
violation of the right of Jewish Australians to be Jewish".
"Such conduct has no place in our society and is condemned in the strongest possible
terms," he said.
