There was no official response available from the congregation Saturday, although several people who called 9NEWS to report the damage said that they blamed Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of the Christ” for rekindling anti-Semitism.

Violation of a synagogue is repugnant.

Once the perps are captured, I'll have several questions:

1. What is their religious affiliation?
2. Have they been consumers of anti-Semitic literature?
3. Have they ever committed anti-Semitic acts before?
4. Did they see the film, "The Passion of the Christ?"
5. Were they aware of fears that the film would inspire anti-Semitism?

Wonder what the chances are of the age group of the perps being 16-18 years?
