A 31 year old Syrian refugee has been arrested in connection with three attacks on the Jewish community in Graz in southern Austria...The first attack took place around 11pm on August 18 when Graz’s synagogue was graffitied with the words “Palestine is free” and “Our language and our land are red lines”... He is also suspected of having vandalised the headquarters of a Graz LGBTQ association and a Catholic church last week. Austria’s interior minister, Karl Nehammer, ascribed an “Islamist motive” to the attacks, calling the suspect a “radical Islamist antisemite” and “homophobe”.
