Bondi Beach mass shooting

The Rabbinical Association of Australasia said the government's responses to the country's atmosphere of antisemitism had not been sufficient.

The Jewish community, already dismayed by the less-than-friendly stance to Israel of the current Labor government, is seeing a dim and grim Australia that it had not previously known.

For decades, Hamas has understood something essential about modern conflict: wars are no longer decided solely by military strength but by global perception.

Israel and the Jewish Diaspora face a shared ongoing crisis as global antisemitism rises around the world.

Rather than clamping down on blatant persecution of Jews, in the towns where they live and at the places they frequent, Jews are being told to avoid gathering because it's too dangerous.

Police promised to take a zero-tolerance policy against any potential violent protest, which was planned at the site of the Cronulla riots.

We’re fed that the threat is imaginary even while schools censor themselves, police hesitate, courts bend, and citizens whisper what they won’t say aloud. 

Movers and shakers in Israeli society.

If our presence can offer even a sliver of comfort – if it can help the Sydney community feel the embrace of a global family – then the journey will have been worthwhile.

Everyone knows Bondi Beach could have happened in Montreal, Toronto, or Ottawa – where a woman was stabbed simply for shopping in the kosher section in Loblaws – an iconic Canadian supermarket.
