The New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb has rejected suggestions that police have failed the Jewish community as investigations continue into the spate of antisemitic attacks in Sydney. Two synagogues and a childcare centre have been targets for arsonists while homes and vehicles have also been torched. A 33-year-old Sydney man has been charged with attempting to set fire to a Newtown synagogue in the inner west with authorities expecting to make a second arrest over the same incident. Commissioner Webb says she understands community concerns, but insists police are doing everything they can to track down those responsible.
