Congressman Suhas Subramanyam issued a statement following an attack at Bondi Beach in Australia during Hanukkah celebrations. He expressed concern for the Jewish community, noting that the incident occurred while families were marking the first night of Hanukkah.
“Hanukkah is a yearly celebration of light and miracles, and yet the Jewish community was deliberately targeted and attacked at Bondi Beach in Australia, where families were gathered to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah.
We must call out the rise in antisemitism and threats to the Jewish community in our country and around the world. We cannot let this hate win.
My prayers are with the families of the victims and with the Commonwealth’s Jewish community this week. We must always push back against hate and make people of all faiths and backgrounds feel safe,” said Subramanyam.
