Denounces Rising Global Antisemitism and Stands with Jewish Communities Worldwide

SCHAUMBURG, IL — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi today released the following statement in response to the deadly shooting attack at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia:

“The antisemitic terrorist attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney is a heartbreaking tragedy and a brutal act of hatred and violence. My heart is with the victims, their families, and all those mourning this devastating loss. This attack reflects a dangerous rise in antisemitic violence worldwide, with Jewish communities increasingly targeted for their faith. Antisemitism must be rejected and confronted wherever it appears. We stand in solidarity with the people of Australia and with Jewish communities across the world.”
