Bondi Victims’ Families Call for Investigation into Anti-Semitism

Families of victims from the Bondi Beach attack on December 14, which killed 15 people, mostly Jewish, have urged Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to initiate a national inquiry into rising anti-Semitism in Australia. They expressed concern over unchecked anti-Jewish sentiment following the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel and criticized the government’s response as insufficient. Albanese announced an independent review into law enforcement’s actions before the attack but resisted calls for a public inquiry, emphasizing unity against extremism. Rising anti-Semitic and Islamophobic incidents have been reported in Australia, with critics linking this surge to broader societal tensions.
