CAMERA mourns the horrifying and tragic murder of 15 innocent people during an attack on the Chanukah by the Sea celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. In a clear act of antisemitic violence, the gunmen targeted a family event hosted by Chabad for the local Jewish community.
We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those murdered and our prayers are with the countless injured. Our staff have worked with individuals who were attacked and others present at the event. To deliberately prey on innocent Jews gathered to celebrate a festive holiday is an act of profound barbarism.
This sickening act of terror is a forceful reminder of the threats facing Australia’s Jewish community — and Jews around the world. The Australian Government must respond forcefully and immediately to the antisemitism plaguing Australia’s Jews. CAMERA stands steadfast in its mission to expose misinformation that fuels such violent antisemitic hatred and to educate the public about the ongoing threat of antisemitism, in our communities, our educational institutions and in the media.
