🚨 BREAKING NEWS A violent attack unfolded during a Hanukkah gathering at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where at least two gunmen opened fire, leaving 12 casualties, including one rabbi. In the midst of the chaos, a courageous civilian intervened, wrestling one of the attackers and preventing further loss of life. Many are drawing parallels to the October 7, 2023 terrorist massacre in Israel, carried out by Hamas, as antisemitic violence continues to rise globally. Sacha Roytman, CEO of the Combat Antisemitism Movement, stated: “Today’s terrorist attack in Bondi Beach was inspired by Hamas’ October 7 massacre. Support for Hamas must be made illegal, calls for a global intifada must be investigated, and extremist incitement must be confronted worldwide.” — @sacharoytman Let’s be clear: this was not random. Australia has one of the lowest gun-violence rates in the world, yet Jews were targeted and murdered for being Jewish. This was antisemitism, and it cannot be dismissed as an isolated incident. It is part of a growing global wave of hatred and violence against the Jewish people. This is not about politics. This is about human dignity, the sanctity of life, and the right to live without fear. Today, I stand with the Jewish community in Australia and around the world. Shalom Aleichem — peace be upon you. We mourn. We pray. We stand with the Jewish people. We will be fasting and praying in mourning for the lives lost in this demonic act of violence. Please join me in prayer, asking God to comfort the grieving, protect the innocent, and confront evil with truth and justice. 😔🙏🏼✡️ Please share to spread awareness.
