Jewish organization calls for action to protect community after Sydney shooting
Canadian Jewish leaders urge urgent government action to enhance security after a Sydney Hanukkah attack killed 15 and wounded nearly 40, citing rising antisemitic threats.
- Amid Hanukkah, Chabad of Santa Barbara organized a menorah lighting in Montecito on December 16 to honor victims and show solidarity, despite recent threats.
- During the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach, authorities say two alleged attackers, a father and son, opened fire, reportedly motivated by radical `Islamic State ideology` and anti-Semitism, killing 15 and wounding 38; Australian police found homemade `Islamic State` flags and charged one surviving suspect.
- Event organizers arranged stepped-up security, including extra officers and K-9 units, and requested additional protection for gatherings this week while leaders urged resilience and unity.
- Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree met with Jewish leaders and federal agencies Wednesday, calling it 'crucial,' while CSIS warned Monday of a 'realistic possibility' of attacks and Noah Shack urged urgent law enforcement action.
- As Hanukkah proceeds, leaders emphasized tradition and resilience against attempts to intimidate communities, noting rising antisemitic violence including Santa Barbara local incidents and framing Hanukkah as a time to resist fear in 2025.
