"Australian police vowed to crack down on a spate of antisemitic hate crimes after cars were torched and painted with slurs on Friday in an affluent Sydney suburb.
Two cars were set ablaze and other vehicles were daubed with anti-Jewish slogans near the former home of a Jewish community leader.
Police said these latest attacks, which they said were hate crimes, also included a house being splashed with red paint. The house once belonged to prominent Jewish Australian advocate Alex Ryvchin, and police were investigating if the attack was targeted...
Vandals defaced two Sydney synagogues with Nazi symbols last week. Masked arsonists torched a Melbourne synagogue in December, prompting the government to create a federal task force targeting antisemitism."
