Multiple sites in Sydney’s eastern suburbs have been vandalised in what has been labelled as an “appalling and shameful” attack by NSW Premier Chris Minns.

Police are this morning responding after a Jewish school, two homes and a shopping centre were defaced with antisemitic graffiti.

The latest spate of vandalism occurred in Maroubra at Mt Sinai College, an adjacent home to the school, the Eastgardens shopping centre and a house in Eastlakes.

NSW Police were called to sites in Maroubra about 6.45am to find that antisemitic comments were spray painted at the front of the school and on the front fence of the property. 

Minns said the acts of vandalism went against everything that Australia believes in 2025.

“It is utterly appalling and shameful that an individual would spray racist hate-filled messages on a school,” Minns said.

“It tells you everything you need to know about how appalling these bastards are that they would rip apart a school on one of the first days of school with a racist antisemitic attack.”

President of the Jewish Board of Deputies David Ossip told ABC Radio the graffiti found at Mount Sinai College was “pretty vile and hateful”.

“It seems to be another act of antisemitic vandalism, this time targeting a school and a property adjacent to the school,” he said.

“[It] is just grotesque and absolutely sickening that school children on their first day of school are going to have to walk past this … hate speech as they make their way into school.”

So far, 10 people have been charged under Strike Force Pearl, which is investigating the antisemitic attacks in Sydney.

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner David Hudson said police believed some of the attacks may have been “orchestrated” by other individuals.

“We have identified links between certain jobs, which gives us some indication there is a level of coordination above those perpetrating the offences,” he said.

Hudson also confirmed the caravan owner was arrested in early January for alleged offences investigated by Strike Force Pearl.

The public is being urged by police and Minns to report what they know.

“To those who may have information about racist hate attacks in our community … if you know of anybody who’s committed these offences, or you know of anyone who potentially could commit these offences, it’s your duty to come forward,” Minns said.
