The New South Wales police commissioner says while there is nothing to suggest a spate of antisemitic attacks in Sydney are linked, the force is keeping “an open mind” after the former home of a Jewish leader was vandalised. The Dover Heights home once owned by Alex Ryvchin – the co-chief executive of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry – was splashed with red paint before 4am on Friday. Four cars were damaged, with two set alight. One car was graffitied with the words “Fuck Jews”. A burnt-out car with antisemitic graffiti is towed away in Dover Heights, Sydney. Photograph:
