At least 15 people were fatally shot during a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s famed Bondi Beach this Saturday, and at least another 42 people were injured, marking Australia’s worst mass shooting in nearly three decades. Victims included a 10-year-old girl, two rabbis and a Holocaust survivor who died while shielding his wife from bullets.
After Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu blamed Australia’s recognition of a Palestinian state for the shooting, Antony Loewenstein, member of the Jewish Council of Australia, says the shooting is “being weaponized by the worst people imaginable to support incredibly draconian policies.”
