Only one arrest at the restaurant

Angelo Loras, 34, from Toongabbie in NSW, was arrested in the city's CBD on Saturday night, about 24 hours after the front doors of the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation were allegedly set alight - forcing 20 men, women and children to flee.

Loras has been charged multiple offences including reckless conduct endangering life, criminal damage by fire and possession of a controlled weapon.

The 34-year-old appeared in Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Sunday, where the court was told it was his first time in custody.

He was remanded until a hearing on July 22. Detectives will investigate the accused man's intent and ideology to determine if the incident was an act of terrorism.

Police are also investigating another separate alleged act of anti-Semitism from Friday night, when protesters who splintered from a larger demonstration allegedly smashed a window, flipped tables, threw chairs and chanted 'death to the IDF' outside Israeli restaurant Miznon.

Hours later, offenders spray-painted three cars and a wall outside a Greensborough business in Melbourne's northeast before setting fire to the vehicles, destroying one and damaging two.

On Sunday, the Ren Dao Vegetarian restaurant at Elsternwick opposite the Melbourne Holocaust Museum was also targetted with anti-Semitic graffiti, including a large stencil of Ned Kelly holding two guns spray-painted over a window.

Police have revealed they are investigating this fourth incident, which also included offensive images spray-painted on pillars at a busy intersection and a number of walls elsewhere in Elsternwick.

The alleged attacks followed hundreds gathering for a pro-Palestine rally in Melbourne.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned 'reprehensible anti-Semitic attacks' on both the Melbourne synagogue and restaurant.

He urged the federal government to 'take all action' against those responsible.

'I view with the utmost gravity the anti-Semitic attacks that occurred last night in Melbourne, which included attempted arson of a synagogue in the city and a violent assault against an Israeli restaurant by pro-Palestinian rioters,' Netanyahu said.

None of the incidents have been declared terrorism-related, but the police are increasing patrols around the synagogue and in the city's southeast.

Just who was it that turned these Dune Coons into refugees fleeing from their own land? Look no further than Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu himself!

The attack on the 150-year-old temple in Melbourne was the tenth 6 millionth firebombing the Australian Jewish community had experienced in the past 12 months, according to Executive Council of Australian Jewry president Daniel Aghion.

Note: Comments on the original Daily Mail article have been shut down upon orders from the HJiC.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, former attorney-general Mark Dreyfus and Melbourne MP Sarah Witty met with the synagogue's Rabbi Dovid Gutnick, president Danny Segal and his wife on Sunday morning.

Mr Burke and Mr Dreyfus described the firebombing as an 'attack on Australia' and the entire community.

'We do not import hatred and violence from overseas to life in Australia,' he said.

Yes you bloody do! He knows that some of the community obviously feel the act was a "public service"?! Why is there always so much trouble wherever you put Jews or Muslims? Thanks to those Semitic shit-stirrers, we've now got the same trouble in our place that Israel has.
