From Senator Chuck Schumer: “The horrific antisemitic terrorist attack at a Hanukkah festival in Sydney is beyond appalling. It is a shocking reminder that antisemitism and hate is not only toxic and far too present and widespread around the world, it is deadly. It must be vigorously condemned, confronted and overcome. As Jewish communities light the Hanukkah candles around the world, a holiday of light and dedication, may we find light in the darkness and rededicate ourselves to fighting the scourge of hate.”
From Congresswoman Claudia Tenney: “This is absolutely horrifying. For years, anti Israel hatred and BDS activism have helped poison the culture, and now Jews in Australia are paying the price. At least 11 people were gunned down while celebrating Hanukkah. A moment meant for light and faith was turned into terror. I am grieving with Israel and with the Jewish community today. There is no excuse for this kind of evil. Ever.”
