Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani decried the “vile act of antisemitic terror” that unfolded during a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Australia on Sunday and vowed to “keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.”
During a Chanukah by the Sea event on the iconic Sydney beach on Sunday, at least two gunmen opened fire, killing 11 people, including children, and wounding at least 29 others.
“The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers,” Mamdani posted on X.
“May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating.”
The incoming mayor noted that one of the victims is Rabbi Eli Schlanger, “who held deep ties to Crown Heights.”
Schlanger, whose wife had a newborn just two months ago, had penned a letter to the Australian Prime Minister a few weeks ago, urging him to be more supportive of Israel.
“Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness, “Mamdani added. “This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world.
“Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside,” he continued. “What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too.”
Mamdani, the first Muslim elected mayor of New York City, had a strained relationship with the Jewish community on the campaign trail.

and like free buses.
He’s lying
After he finished .........
He said the right thing. But I don’t believe anything he says.
Bondi murderers were just “Globalzing the Intifada” that you so heartily approve of, Zoltar Imam-danny!
Liar, liar...pants on fire....
PR only.
It’s simply damage control.
“During his campaign, Mamdani initially declined to condemn the phrase (”Globalize the Intifada”), emphasizing his commitment to universal human rights and the need to address bigotry. He acknowledged the complexities surrounding the phrase and its implications for different communities. However, he faced backlash for not outright rejecting it, especially in light of rising antisemitism.”
Pledged attacks on Jews in New York will be far more successful.
And here I thought he said he wanted to “globalize the intifada”. This is what it means, Zohran, so you support it.
Hey Mamdani, when your ilk scream “Globalize the Intifada” THAT is what they mean
Just a normal muslim day
Pants on fire.
They shoot choldren, babies and women.

The letter should have focused on giving all Australian citizens the right to defend themselves with firearms.
Wait...wot....?....guns in Australia...guns were collected and destroyed years ago
And Mamdani going international.
Send him to Australia ...see how long he lasts.
The name of the beach had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Allah praises Muslims who lie for Islam’s sake. It even has a name - Taqiyya.
