6 December 2024
We, at the Chinese Community Council of Australia (Victoria Chapter), are deeply shocked and saddened by the recent arson attack on the synagogue in Ripponlea, Melbourne. We strongly condemn this abhorrent act of antisemitism and violence.
We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community, acknowledging the trauma, fear, and distress that this attack has caused. We recognise that an attack on one community is an attack on all communities.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jewish community during this difficult time. We offer our heartfelt support as you heal and recover from this traumatic incident..
We are committed to working together with all communities to reject hate and promote understanding, inclusivity, and kindness, and to build a safer and more harmonious society for all.
