Australia Sets Record For Anti-Jewish Incidents, Sadly No One's Surprised
KEY POINTS
- •Australia saw 1,654 anti-Jewish incidents through September, tripling previous annual totals before Gaza tensions escalated.
- •In December 2025, Bondi Beach suffered Australia’s deadliest mass shooting in nearly 30 years during a Hanukah event.
- •Rabbi Levi Wolff stated 'the inevitable has happened now' shortly after two armed men attacked, killing 12 including one suspect.
In Australia, not even kangaroos could bounce past the grim stat of 1,654 anti-Jewish incidents in the year to September – an eye-popping triple jump over previous records, all before the Gaza war dialed up tensions. Enter Bondi Beach, December 2025, where Rabbi Levi Wolff prophetically declared 'the inevitable has happened now' just after two men armed with ‘powerful rifles or shotguns’ crashed a Hanukah event, turning it into the worst Aussie mass shooting in 30 years. The attack killed 12, including one alleged gunman, and left dozens injured, transforming a religious celebration into a tragic headline Australia never asked for.
