Sydney, Australia CNN —Police are searching for two masked suspects after a synagogue was set on fire in southeastern Australia early Friday in an attack condemned by the prime minister as an act of antisemitism. Worshippers fled from the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne when the blaze took hold around 4 a.m. Friday morning. The violence and intimidation and destruction at a place of worship is something that we should never see in Australia. However, Robert Gregory, CEO of the Australian Jewish Association, said he was “outraged but not at all surprised” by the attack. Sarah Schwartz, executive officer of the Jewish Council of Australia, called the fire an “act of disgusting violence” and an attack on the Jewish community.
