Drea Humphrey and Alexa Lavoie discussed this shocking incident on yesterday's Rebel Roundup Livestream.
They reacted to Rebel reporter Avi Yemini's confrontation with the Victorian Premier about her delayed action in addressing growing antisemitism. "Why did it have to take a burning of a synagogue for you to come here and make a statement?" Avi asked her.
Alexa Lavoie noted that similar attacks on religious buildings have been happening in Canada, saying, "We’ve seen so many churches burning down… it's almost becoming more normalized, and it’s targeted against Judeo-Christian values."
The Premier, while pledging $100,000 for the rebuilding effort, faced tough questions about her lack of proactive measures, with Avi pointing out, “You have lost control.”
