This was a terrible act of antisemitism, one of the many that has happened this year. It has only been increasing since Israel defended itself against the attack by Hamas on October 7th 2023. What happened at the Hanukkah celebrations on Bondi Beach was not a one-off incident, and fifteen people died. These poor people had nowhere to shelter when the bullets began to fly, but there were several individuals who were notable for saving lives either giving their own in the process or getting injured.
We have to keep the light shining bright and fight back against antisemitism.

Totally agree. Also, I do not personally consider Palestine a country

It is really sad what has happened, I will never understand why people feel the need to target certain religious groups etc.
I do think those that ran towards to the gun men to try and disarm them , alongside the lifeguards who put their own lives on the line to help and treat others should be given an award or a medal for their bravery that day.
I have family that live in Sydney, I am just glad my family are all okay, they aren't part of the religious group that was targeted but I did worry that they had possibly like been caught it up in all if they were like on the beach itself etc.
This might be controversial (an eye for an eye type of thing) but I hope the gun men who did this, are both killed, so that they cannot do anything like this again.
I think one of the gun men did get shot but I don't know if he survived.
It is really awful what has happened and I hope nothing on this scale never happens again.

Palestine absolutely has the right to exist, the British Empire handled it inappropriately a hundred years ago.
