The antisemitic attack at Bondi Beach is a horrifying act of hatred that must be unequivocally condemned,” said Congressman Grothman. “What should have been a peaceful gathering turned into a moment of terror simply because Jewish families were celebrating their faith. We mourn the innocent lives lost and stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in Sydney and around the world.
“It is deeply disturbing that the October 7 attack, the most devastating antisemitic massacre in recent history, has been followed by a surge in antisemitic hatred across the globe. That reality cannot be ignored or excused. There is no justification for targeting the Jewish people anywhere, under any circumstances.
“Combating antisemitism requires the truth. Facts about Israel, along with the horrors of Hamas and its allies, must be clearly communicated. Greater efforts must be made to understand and confront the roots of antisemitic hatred and broader hostility toward the West.”
