Bondi attack: Chief rabbi's cousin hid for 15 'terrifying' minutes
UK Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis attributes the Bondi Beach attack to antisemitic hate speech including chants like 'globalise the intifada,' which he says incite violence.
- On Sunday, a mass shooting began at Bondi Beach during a Hanukkah event around 18:47 local time, killing at least 15 people including a 10-year-old girl, with more than 1,000 attendees targeted by Chabad of Bondi attackers.
- UK Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis said chants such as `globalise the intifada` incite hatred and linked the Bondi attack to rising toxic antisemitism and incidents on Jewish holy days.
- Local media named the shooters as Sajid Akram, who died at the scene, and his son Naveed Akram, hospitalised in critical condition, while verified videos showed people fleeing and screaming during the attack.
- As a result, Sir Ephraim will travel to Sydney on Tuesday to meet the local Jewish community, and the UK government announced a more visible security presence at Hanukkah events this week.
- Calls grew for social media regulation and tougher legal action on incitement as UK Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis urged limits on hateful speech, while New South Wales premier Chris Minns signalled prospective gun reform.
