A Jewish school in Sydney’s eastern suburbs and a neighbouring home have been defaced with antisemitic graffiti.
The latest spate of vandalism occurred overnight in Maroubra at Mt Sinai College and the adjacent home.
The acts add to escalating concerns after a caravan filled with explosives was discovered in the city’s north-west, which is being investigated by the counter-terrorism team.
NSW Police were called to sites in Maroubra about 6.45am to find that antisemitic comments were spray painted at the front of the school and on the front fence of the property.
President of the Jewish Board of Deputies David Ossip told ABC Radio the graffiti found at Mount Sinai College was “pretty vile and hateful”.
“It seems to be another act of antisemitic vandalism, this time targeting a school and a property adjacent to the school,” he said.
“[It] is just grotesque and absolutely sickening that school children on their first day of school are going to have to walk past this … hate speech as they make their way into school”.
A spokesperson for NSW Police said further offensive graffiti had been found in Eastgardens and Eastlakes.
Police are at the scene investigating the incident.
