Anti-Semitic flyers depicting the swastika have appeared near a Gold Coast synagogue on a sacred day for the Jewish community.
A Nazi group vilely attacked members of the Gold Coast Jewish community the same day they gathered to remember the six million people killed in the Holocaust.
Flyers bearing swastikas and carrying anti-Semitic tropes were attached to a pole outside Temple Shalom in Isle of Capri and dropped in the letter boxes of some residents on Sunday.
Among those to receive the flyers was a person whose family survived the Holocaust.
“I am seriously considering moving to Israel and taking my family with me,” they said. “I will be encouraging other Australian Jews to do the same. Australia is no longer safe for us.”
The flyers were posted as the Jewish community gathered to mark Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The notices, which contained links to a notorious neo-Nazi group, were also timed to coincide with the federal election campaign. Anti-Semitic tropes on the posters claimed Australian politics was “dominated by Jews” and Prime Minister Scott Morrison was their “puppet”.
The flyers also included images of Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and other cabinet members. Mr Morrison in November last year revealed that Mr Frydenberg, who is Jewish, has an around-the-clock security detail because of threats related to his religion.
