  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It was the second antisemitic attack on property in four days in Sydney, and comes amid a spate of similar crimes targeting the Jewish community in Australia’s most-populous city.

Australia has seen a rise in antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents since Israel retaliated against the attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023, with the assault on Gaza that has left tens of thousands of people dead. At least half a dozen incidents were reported in the last two months in Sydney alone.

The latest comment by the Australian Federal Police Commissioner is that organised crime may be partly responsible in that criminals for hire are possibly being paid by other nations to carry out some of these attacks.

AFP suspects organised crime groups behind some anti-Semitic attacks

AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw has clarified a statement he released on Tuesday evening.

After a statement on Tuesday suggesting the recent spate of anti-Semitic hate crimes could be financed overseas using cryptocurrencies, AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw on Wednesday clarified investigations were not yet complete and he was "not ready to rule anything in or out".

But he confirmed in a prepared statement, police were investigating whether "some individuals have been paid to carry out some anti-Semitic acts in Australia".

"We believe criminals for hire may be behind some incidents, so part of our inquiries include — who is paying those criminals, where those people are, whether they are in Australia or offshore and what their motivation is," he said.

Overnight, Israel's deputy foreign minister, Sharren Haskel, said it would be unsurprising if some of the anti-Semitic attacks in Australia had been funded by a foreign actor.

"We know that Iran is operating in different ways around the world … and we have seen cases like that also in France and the United States and in other places," she said.

Addendum - Police have arrested at least one suspect, who motivation appears to be financial.

Should nations that pay factions in other countries, to foment rebellion (or just headaches for the government) be called out and shunned?
