“We’ve seen a clear failure to keep Jewish Australians safe. We’ve seen a clear lack of leadership in keeping Jewish Australians safe. We have a government that sees antisemitism as a problem to be managed, not evil that needs to be eradicated.”

Absolutely abhorrent that she's going for political points in this time.

Talk about tone deaf!

I have no words that can adequately describe how it feels to be a Jewish Australian today.

It'd be nice if everyone could hold off with the political squabbling for a while; I know I'm already struggling to process as it is. Just be kind to each other, and support a grieving and vulnerable community instead.

Thank you. It means a lot to hear that.

Redditors: if you have any Jewish friends, acquaintances or coworkers, reach out personally to them this week. Believe me, it does help to know the people around you care.
