The massacre at Bondi Beach in Australia is another low in the ever hideous level of antisemitism, worsening not decreasing. The people on a beach, celebrating Hannakkah, Festival of Lights, were met with darkness and oblivion, tragedy and loss. The murderers being two Muslims, a father and son expressing a warped Islamic hate for Jewish people, met an almost astonishing opposite to themselves. Another Muslim, a passer by on that beach, of a similar age to the father of the pair, bravely wrestled him, for his gun, at risk to his own life, and was shot and wounded by the son. A remarkable lesson indeed is here, for those who meet hate for ethnic minorities or religious people, with an equally distorted hate for all of the same ethnic group or religious faith. We share in the mourning as a consequence of this evil antisemitism and in the praising of one man and his individual heroism.
