Photo of a car vandalised with anti-Semitic hate speech in Sydney’s eastern suburbs goes viral on X

A photo of a car vandalised with anti-Semitic hate speech in Sydney’s eastern suburbs is going viral on X.

Executive Council of Australian Jewry chair Alex Ryvchin has taken to X to share a photo of a car vandalised with anti-Semitic hate speech in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Mr Ryvchin shared a photo of a white car with graffiti written on it saying “f**k the Jews” and claimed it was the product of the “demonisation” of Jewish people.

“Another suburb with a large Jewish community and multiple Jewish communal facilities,” he wrote on X.

“No one just vandalises a car with a racist slogan. It is the product of endless incitement, demonisation and a belief that such attitudes are freely permitted, even celebrated.”

The tweet has now been seen over 80,000 times.

Mr Ryvchin said in a statement to news.com.au that the “the Australian Jewish community awoke to another despicable hate crime vandalising property in a suburb with a large Jewish community and multiple Jewish communal facilities.”

Mr Ryvchin added, “it also demonstrates how the racist targeting of Jews impacts wider society”.
