The Bondi Mass Shooting S5E4 01.12.2026

Today, we are taking a recording from the end of 2025 to discuss the mass shooting on Bondi Beach in Australia.
Mandy, who lives in Sydney, Australia, writes, Well, it looks like gun violence has come back to my country's shores. As I am sure you are aware, we had a horrific mass shooting at Bondi Beach this past week. As I write this, we know of at least three dead and many more injured. Once again, this seems to be directed at the Jewish community in my country. Our PM Albanese has classified this as an Islamic terrorist attack. Although Australia has had past incidents of mass shootings, it’s been almost 30 years since the last incident. With the conflict in the Middle East still uncertain, the xenophobia currently in the US and Europe, and the general madness seemingly spreading around the world, do you see this as a trend? Should the Jewish communities around the world be concerned? Do you see any other communities that might become targets?
