Waverley Mayor Paula Masselos condemns pro-Hamas graffiti in Sydney’s east

·

Waverley Mayor Paula Masselos has addressed the rise in pro-Hamas graffiti plastered over the Bondi and Bronte areas in Sydney’s east, declaring the council was taking immediate action to have it removed.

“The level of the graffiti has increased over the last week and we’re acting on it as soon as we’re told because it’s hugely upsetting for our community,” Masselos said.

“Hamas is a registered terrorist organisation and we don’t cop this sort of vandalism.”

Residents have expressed concerns over the rising prevalence of “hate speech” and “division” as authorities work to address the surge in pro-Hamas graffiti in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Overnight, 11 additional incidents were reported, intensifying local anxieties and prompting a swift response from officials as the menacing reminders of division among Sydneysiders multiply.
