## Resource

On December 14, 2025, two gunmen opened fire on the crowd at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, killing 15. There was nothing random about the massacre—it was an ISIS-motivated, Jewish-targeted attack that resulted from the virus of antisemitism that has poisoned so many against God’s Chosen People. The Friends of Israel Australia Director Les Crawford provides valuable insight into the true nature and fallout from the attack in Australia, confronting us with our responsibility to stand strongly against antisemitism in support of Israel and the Jewish people.
