Antisemitic attacks have become a sad norm for Diaspora Jews since the Hamas massacre of October 7 last year. Perhaps one of the greatest recent examples is the devastating fire that ripped through the Adass Israel Synagogue in Ripponlea, Melbourne, early Friday morning. On Sunday, two days after the attack, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that it is looking more like an act of terror. The Melbourne attack broadcast two messages. First, that Jews aren't safe, anywhere, and second, that anything can be a target if the ends, whatever they may be, are justified enough in the mind of its attackers. The Australian government on Monday, three days after the attack, announced the formation of a counter-antisemitism task force.
