Hanukkah

The 50-year-old father, who was killed in the attack, had six firearms licensed to him, with NSW police commissioner Mal Lanyon confident that all weapons were accounted for by law enforcement.

Conspiracy theories claiming Israel orchestrated the Bondi Beach Hanukkah attack are spreading on social media, despite evidence of a terrorist attack that killed 16 people.

Berlin police said they were ramping up measures around the German capital's Brandenburg Gate, where a large electric menorah is being lit to mark the first night of Hanukkah.

Jewish organizations worldwide denounced the Bondi Beach mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration, mourning the victims and urging stronger action against rising antisemitic violence.

"I saw blood gushing from me. I saw people hit, saw people fall to the ground," said Ostrovsky, “My only concern was, where are my kids? Where are my kids? Where’s my wife, where’s my family?”

Ahmed al-Ahmed belongs in that moral family tree of the "Righteous Among the Nations."

Jewish self-defense must become as routine as lighting candles, as expected as teaching children their history, and as essential as the duty to save a life.

Hanukkah and Vayeshev together reveal that the festival’s light shines only when we open our eyes to our brothers’ struggles and choose loyalty and compassion.

According to door cam footage, the suspect shouted antisemitic slurs such as 'F*** the Jews' as he fired at the home from his car.

The Bondi shooting was not an isolated act of violence. It was the logical endpoint of the normalization of radicalized anti-Israel rhetoric in Australia.
