Sydney's Bondi Beach shooting during a Hanukkah event. Two gunmen killed 16 people and injured 29 in an attack targeting Australia's Jewish community

Shooters were two- father and son.

The 24-year-old suspect is an Australian-born citizen, according to Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke.

The man’s father, the 50-year-old suspect, arrived in Australia in 1998 on a student visa, and transferred to a partner visa in 2001, minister Burke told media Monday.

The hero that stopped one of the terrorists in Australia is called Ahmad Al Ahmad. He is a Christian Maronite! 

• the deadliest mass shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre.
• Authorities, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, classified the incident as terrorism, with one shooter killed and another in custody; preliminary reports link the attackers to Islamist extremism amid rising global antisemitism post-October 2023 Hamas attacks.

• Global leaders are reacting to the shooting at Bondi Beach, with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer saying the UK "will always stand with Australia and the Jewish community".

• "The news that the Bondi beach attack was an antisemitic terrorist attack against Jewish families at a Chanukah event is sickening," Starmer writes on X. He says the government is actively working with the CST, the UK's Jewish security organisation, on the policing of Chanukah events.

• French President Emmanuel Macron says: "In Sydney, an antisemitic terrorist attack struck families gathered to celebrate Hanukkah.

  "We share the pain of the Australian people and will continue to fight relentlessly against antisemitic hatred, which hurts us all, wherever it strikes."

​​Hanukkah is the Jewish festival of lights, marking the miracle where the oil to light the Hanukkah lights that should have only lasted one night lasted for eight nights. It is a time of joy and celebration, a time of presents and of family, particularly loved by children. It is a time when the light is supposed to extinguish the darkness.

The family of the Bondi Beach terror attacker are now calling the police on journalists at their house, demanding privacy and complaining that the media keep knocking on their door and “disrupting” them.

Katie Hopkins :   

To the Australian Government  @ausgov  and  Barnaby Joyce @Barnaby_Joyce  You are as guilty for the slaughter on Bondi as the two gunmen themselves. You should tried for your crimes against the Australian people.

Eric Daugherty : 

WTF?! After Islamic terrorists KILLED 15 people in Australia, the prime minister warns about "right-wing extremist groups". You've GOT to be kidding me. If the threat was right-wingers, trust me, YOU'D KNOW.
