Melbourne ‘Wall of Hope’ dedicated to Israeli hostages vandalised
The Jewish community of Melbourne says it woke this morning to “distressing images” of the desecration of the ‘Wall of Hope’ dedicated to the 240 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
The wall is located outside the Beth Weizmann Jewish Community Centre in Caulfield and was unveiled last Friday. It features the slogan “Bring Them Home Now” and photos of hostages:
Devastating to see the desecration of our memorial to the missing hostages at Beth Weizmann. The perpetrators of this vandalism demonstrate a complete lack of humanity and their support for the most heinous of terror organisations. pic.twitter.com/tuc3FCPGov

Overnight, the words “Free Palestine” were written across the photos on the wall. Staff have since cleaned the wall.
Chair of Beth Weizmann, Sam Tatarka, who established the wall with fellow Zionism Victoria board member Baron Katranski, said:
It’s a great shame that some people are so filled with hate that a display in aid of hostages held captive by Hamas in Gaza has been defaced.
This will not stop us from publicising their plight. Our community is unbowed by this act of wanton destruction directed at the heart of their community centre.
Zionism Victoria president, Yossi Goldfarb, added:
While people have a right to protest the current war or call for the establishment of a Palestinian state – something which we, indeed, would welcome as part of a two-state solution – it was truly devastating to see the desecration of the wall, which only serves to highlight the plight of innocent civilians – the elderly and babies – seized from their homes.
