Israel rushes aid and solidarity as terror murders Jews, exposing Arab-state silence and moral bankruptcy.
Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, arrived in Sydney for a rapid solidarity visit following the murderous terror attack that killed 15 people at a Hanukkah gathering. His presence underscored Israel’s unwavering commitment to protect Jewish life everywhere—especially when local communities are shaken by targeted violence.
Chikli met Jewish community leaders at Bondi Beach, the site of the attack, where he joined prayers and donned tefillin in remembrance of the victims and in hope for the wounded’s recovery. The visit carries a clear message: when Jews are attacked for their identity, Israel stands first and acts decisively.
The minister is scheduled to visit the injured in hospitals, attend funerals, console bereaved families, and engage community members grappling with trauma. In parallel, Israel translated words into action—dispatching trauma and psychological experts from the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and the Jewish Agency to provide immediate, professional support.
As Jewish communities worldwide face escalating threats, Israel’s response contrasts sharply with the silence and evasions of Arab regimes that refuse to confront antisemitic incitement and terror exported through proxy ideologies. Where others issue platitudes or look away, Israel mobilizes help, healing, and resolve.
