ABC Friends offers our deepest sympathy to the Australian Jewish community following the horrific incident at the Hannukah celebration on Bondi Beach on December 14th.

We support you as you cope with the unimaginable heartache caused by this shocking event.

We also extend our sympathy and support to members and supporters of ABC Friends who may be affected by this tragedy.

Everyone has a right to live in peace and safety, no matter their belief or background.

We oppose antisemitism and all acts of discrimination that target individuals or communities because of their faith, race, culture, gender or identity. And we reject efforts to divide us through fear, polarisation, and disinformation.

We join with millions of Australians in celebrating the incredible contribution that Jewish Australians have made to our business, cultural, intellectual and civic life over many decades.

Please know that we stand united with you in sympathy, compassion and solidarity.
