Witness fled pre-dawn synagogue attack to raise alarm, police hunt two masked suspects

The founder of Yumi’s dips escaped the firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue before dawn on Friday, fleeing the building to raise the alarm.

Yumi Friedman said he was inside Adass Israel synagogue in Ripponlea with one other person about 4.10am when they heard a loud bang and glass shattering.

“I saw glass flying, so I just jumped out of my seat, ran out of the synagogue, through the hall to the back lane, and my shop is adjacent to the lane,” Friedman said.

He asked a staff member to call police and then returned to the synagogue to find the building alight.

“I thought maybe I’ll be able to open the doors and go inside, but when I touched the door, I burnt my hand,” he said.

“Then I decided it [was] too dangerous. I went out.”

The arson and explosives squad is investigating the firebombing at one of Australia’s busiest synagogues in the heart of Melbourne’s Jewish community.

Witnesses reported two suspects in dark clothing and masks at the scene at the time of the attack.

The damage inside is believed to be significant. One congregation member estimated there were millions of dollars’ worth of holy books and handwritten Torah scrolls inside.

A number of those Torah scrolls, including one from wartime Germany, were brought out of the synagogue just before midday on Friday. Congregation members carefully loaded them into a car, with some kissing the scrolls before they loaded them.

Many of the scrolls cannot be reached as they are stored in an area of the synagogue where the roof has collapsed.

Detective Inspector Chris Murray said police would do “everything we can to bring these individuals before the courts”.

With Netanyahu carrying out a continuing genocide against Gazan women and children, while claiming the ICC is "anti-semitic", I reckon the guys who bombed the vacant synagogue might have a legitimate cause - unlike in Nazi germany -  even if the methods of the two bombers are not lawful. 

This morning Karvelis faied to ask a Jewish woman bleating about "anti-semtism" whether she thought the ICC is "anti semetic".  Deplorable. 

The book of worship in the synagogue proclaims Jews as "The Chosen People" to whom belongs "The Promised Land".

Both OT (ie, Jewish Bible) assertions are incompatible with international law.

So HAMAS declaring war and killing Israelis, is not genocide "from the river to the sea", but Israeli fightback is.

Another one of your myopic cri de coeur's.

It is not genocide to defend yourself against murderous terrorists.

Hamas could have refrained from attacking Israel and taking hostages.
Or they could have released the hostages.

But no.


So tell us, What was the purpose of the Hamas and Hezb'allah and Iranian and Yemeni attacks on Israel?
Go on.

(sigh, the travails of educating blind Conservatives like lee)

Two errors:

1. Hamas (or any group) killing random Jews (or any group in general)  IS genocide, which is why the ICC has issued arrest warrants against Putin, Netanyahu and Hamas.

2. Re "Israeli fightback":

The UN voted to partition Palestine at a time when the Arab world was still benighted by literal interpretations  of the Koran  (prompting PM Abbot, several decades later,   to observe that "the Islamic world needs an 'enlightenment'" - just as Europe experienced in the 18th century). 

THe UN should never have recognized Israel UNTIL the UNSC  could guarantee peace between Israel and  Palestine, as per UN res 181, a resolution  which in Palestinian (and Arab) eyes amounted to confiscation of their homeland.

So the Partition Plan - only half implemented because the UNSC failed to secure the peace between the two new states as  proposed in UN res 181, is itself to blame  because it ignored  religious sensitivities (delusional as they were)  on the ground.

Obviously the Israelis were in favor of the Plan, because ...they got a new homeland; and boy, when Israel was recognised, they - being the stronger party (with the latest European arms),  set about murdering the Arab resistors to the Plan with genocidal force and intent.

And now "river to the sea" means <greater Israel>, to ugly zionist ideologues who are content to commit genocide to create it while bleating about "self-defence"),  even though the Arab world (except for extremist ideologues who are  the mirror image of ugly zionist ideologues)  has long conceded Israel's right to exist alongside a Palestinian state.

The only Jew with a grasp of reality is an  atheist Jew; Rabbis don't qualify.

Jehovah is a bronze age monstrosity, which is why Marcion - compiler of the evolving NT (soon after Jesus' death),  rejected the OT 'god'.

Mohammud made a big mistake choosing the OT 'god' as the deity for his <new religion for the Arabs>.
