LEADING STORY: The Jewish community in Australia believes Sunday’s Hanukkah terror attack is a direct result of a prolonged increase in antisemitism that has been building since October 7, 2023. Critics point fingers at Prime Minister Albanese’s administration, accusing it of inadequate response to a series of arson, threats, and violent acts. Jewish leaders are reporting unprecedented levels of antisemitic incidents, while Israeli authorities alongside Australian politicians are calling for decisive measures to combat rising hatred and ensure the community’s safety.

‘ACT OF EVIL’: An American visitor described chaos as gunfire erupted at Sydney’s Bondi Beach Hanukkah festival, sending hundreds fleeing. Mistaken at first for fireworks, the shooting lasted nearly 10 minutes. Police call it a targeted antisemitic terror attack that killed 12 and injured 29. Cohen’s brother helped resuscitate victims. Over a thousand attendees, including children, were present.

WARNING FROM BIG JOHN: Democrats condemned the deadly Hanukkah terror attack in Sydney, but Sen. John Fetterman argued their response clashes with years of rising anti-Israel rhetoric in the party. He warned internal divisions over the Israel–Hamas conflict are deepening ahead of 2026. Despite unified denouncements of antisemitism, Fetterman criticized colleagues for hesitating to fully confront anti-Israel hostility.

APPLE, TREE: Mahmood Mamdani, father of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, said Columbia’s anti-Israel activists feel “terrified” as the university intensifies efforts to combat antisemitism. He accused leadership of intimidating students and urged healing rather than policing. Columbia’s antisemitism task force reported Jewish and Israeli students being harassed in class, including accusations of “murder” and claims of “blood money.”

GUEST EDITORIAL: Justin Amler, policy analyst at the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council, writes that the Hannukkah massacre that killed 15 in Australia was both terrifying and predictable, given the nation’s disturbing embrace of hate.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “Well, students are terrified. They are terrorized. In the smallest move they make, they are targeted. They are expelled. They are suspended. They are warned.” – Mahmood Mamdani, father of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, decrying Columbia University’s crackdown on anti-Jewish hate.
