Jews around the world are being warned to take extreme caution when travelling to Australia following the firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue.

The U.S.-based Simon Wiesenthal Center issued the travel advisory due to the “failure of Australian authorities” to stand up against antisemitism, pointing to issues like demonisation, harassment, and alleged violence against Jews and Jewish institutions.
