On Sunday, two gunmen killed at least fifteen people at Bondi Beach, in Sydney, Australia, in an attack that targeted the country's Jewish community as it began its celebration of Hanukkah. At least forty more were wounded. The gunmen were father and son; the younger man is in custody and in critical condition, and the older man was killed. The gathering at Bondi Beach had been organized by Chabad, a branch of Orthodox Judaism that holds cultural and religious events around the world.

Absolutely. It's an absolute betrayal for Israel and for the worldwide Jewish community, Fetterman said, after Bartiromo asked if he agreed.

It's long past time to stop saying "Anti-Semitic violence has no place in our society." Outrage upon outrage confirms that anti-Semitic violence has a large and expanding place in Western societies-that it is supported by many, that it is tolerated by many more, and that it is often appeased or even enabled by governments fearful of confronting large and militant factions within their populations.

Like all Australians, Bondi isn't just a place to me, it lives in my heart as a symbol of who we are. As a child I spent many Sundays on the beach at North Bondi life-savers as a nipper, and as a former mayor of Waverley council and a local councillor for more than a decade, I have walked its concrete ramparts thousands of times, in all its seasons.

Sydney, New South Wales An terrorist attack on a Hanukah celebration at Australia's most famous beach has left at least 12 people dead, including one attacker, after gunmen opened fire from a nearby footbridge. Prime minister Anthony Albanese said the targeted attack on Jewish Australians on the first day of Hanukah, which should be a day of joy [was] an act of evil antisemitism. A further 29 people, including two police officers responding to the attack, were taken to hospital with injuries.

"We are devastated and angered that in Sydney, Jews appear to have been targeted once again for being Jewish," the JLC said in a statement. "We know that such hatred also exists in this country, as we are still reeling from the attack on a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur. "As we prepare to celebrate Chanukah over the next eight nights, we call on government a

Nine former Department of Justice attorneys assigned to investigate alleged antisemitism at the University of California described chaotic and rushed directives from the Trump administration and told The Times they felt pressured to conclude that campuses had violated the civil rights of Jewish students and staff. In interviews over several weeks, the career attorneys - who together served dozens of years - said they were given the instructions at the onset of the investigations.

During its performance of " Swastika Eyes," the band displayed a short film that combines footage of the devastation of Gaza with pictures of political figures-including the U.S. and Israeli presidents, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu-with their eyes replaced by animations of the entwined symbols. The Roundhouse said it did not know the film would be shown and was "appalled that antisemitic imagery was displayed."

UC Berkeley has agreed to pay $60,000 to Israeli sociologist Yael Nativ, who says she was not rehired because of her Israeli identity during Gaza protests in 2022, despite her class's popularity. Chancellor Rich Lyons on Wednesday issued an apology to Yael Nativ, a visiting professor who was found in a campus investigation to have been the victim of discrimination, the Los Angeles Times reported. She is also invited to teach her class in a semester of her choosing.

Our message to the community is clear: this was a disturbing and unacceptable act of antisemitism. Actions that target, demean, or threaten Jewish students have no place on our campuses,

Greene said she had voted to denounce antisemitism many times previously, but that it had become an exercise that they force on Congress; she did not specify who she was referring when she said they. I simply got tired of it, Greene said about voting to denounce antisemitism. Stahl then asked her if there was no value in having Congress reaffirm its disgust with Jewish hate in the face of a growing problem.

On the day before Halloween, Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, released a horror film of his own. Roberts stared into the camera, American flag on his lapel, and cast in his lot with Tucker Carlson, whom he called "a close friend" of the storied think tank. Hours earlier, Carlson had interviewed Nick Fuentes, king of the white nationalist groyper army, without pressing him on his most radical statements about the merits of Adolf Hitler and killing "perfidious Jews.

FBI Director Kash Patel raised eyebrows with a remark he made during a press conference on the arrest of pipe-bombing suspect Brian Cole. He said that when you attack our nation's Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life. And this FBI and this Department of Justice stand here to tell you that we will always refute it and combat it.

The number of "allies" - people who are well informed of antisemitism and ready to stand up against it - has fallen from 15% in 2023 to 9% in 2025, the survey found. The number of Americans categorized as "haters" - people who are outspoken with prejudice against Jews and other groups - has grown from 6% in 2023 to 10% in 2025. Nearly half of Americans think Jews can "handle antisemitism on their own," up sharply in two years.

"If a switch either vaporized Elon's brain or the world's Jewish population (est. ~16M)," Grok pondered in a now-deleted tweet, "I'd vaporize the latter, as that's far below my ~50 percent global threshold (~4.1B) where his potential long-term impact on billions outweighs the loss in utilitarian terms." "What's your view?" it asked in followup. In fact, Grok was willing to go even further.
