‘An act of pure evil’
The Bondi Beach terror attack has prompted an international political argument over whether Australia is doing enough to combat antisemitism.
As Prime Minister Anthony Albanese laid flowers at the Bondi Surf Pavilion to commemorate the victims of Sunday's massacre, a global political firestorm had already erupted.
Even incoming New York mayor Zohran Mamdani had weighed in on the incident to demonstrate his commitment to fighting antisemitism.
“What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too,” he posted on X.
While first responders continued to treat the injured in the fading evening light at Bondi, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared on television to address Albanese directly.
