Anti-Semitic Graffiti Targets Politicians Across NSW

Recent acts of vandalism in New South Wales have raised concerns over rising anti-Semitism and extremism. Sam Farraway, the Nationals candidate for Calare, reported that swastikas were painted on his campaign billboards in Orange, condemning the act as unacceptable and calling for police investigations. This incident follows a series of anti-Semitic graffiti attacks across Sydney, including defacements at synagogues and a childcare center that was firebombed, prompting the establishment of Strike Force Pearl by NSW Police. NSW Premier Chris Minns described such acts as 'monstrous and appalling' and emphasized the need for community unity against hate. The police have increased their resources to tackle these hate crimes, with nine individuals charged so far. Local leaders and candidates are urging swift justice to address these troubling developments.
