Labor MP has condemned a "callous and dangerous" vandalism attack on his Melbourne electorate office.

Macnamara MP Josh Burns' office had its windows smashed, and fires lit outside, in an attack early on Wednesday that is being branded as "politically motivated

The walls of the office were also graffitied in red paint with devil horns and slogans that read "Zionism is fascism".

"It's pretty bad inside there. There's red paint all at the front of my office. There's a lot of glass that needs to be repaired. There's extensive damage and there were fires out the front of the office, so there was a lot of police activity this morning," Burns said.

Police have launched a manhunt after at least five people were seen near the electorate office on Barkly Street, St Kilda, in Melbourne's inner south-east, about 3.20am on Wednesday.

Investigators said small fires were lit in telecommunications pits at the front of the building before the group ran from the scene.

Burns, who is Jewish, has also previously had his election posters defaced. But Wednesday's incident represents a dramatic escalation of attacks on MPs' offices in protest at the conflict in Gaza.

  Hmm why does everybody target Jew$
