The Ray White Group has indefinitely stood down real estate agent Andrew Dimashki after an antisemitic social media comment he posted a year ago resurfaced last week.

The post, made while Dimashki was working at Harcourts, included the message: “The most Jew thing I’ve ever seen. Who builds a house at a sacred site? Yep, only a money hungry Jew. $$$$$ Child murdering [pig emoticon].”

The comments were brought to Ray White managing director Dan White’s attention on Thursday night after being shared by the Australian Jewish Association’s Instagram account.

“Obviously I was disgusted when I saw it,” White told The AJN.

“The fact that, when I saw the post, it also had the Ray White logo on the post that was obviously put there subsequently, it wasn’t on the original post. So all of a sudden, our name was being associated with such disgusting comments.”
