The Federation of Ethnic Communities’ Councils of Australia (FECCA) unequivocally condemns the anti-Semitic violence at Bondi Beach and extends its deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who have lost their lives.
FECCA stands in solidarity with Jewish communities and all those affected by this hateful act.
“This was an appalling act of anti-Semitic violence,” FECCA said in a statement. “Hatred and violence directed at any community have no place in Australia and must be confronted collectively and without hesitation.”
FECCA Chair Peter Doukas said an attack on one community strikes at the heart of Australia’s multicultural fabric.
“An attack on one community is an attack on our collective spirit as a multicultural nation. When any group is targeted by hate, it undermines the values of respect, inclusion and unity that bind our society together,” Mr Doukas said.
The attack has caused deep pain and fear, particularly within Jewish communities, and has reverberated across Australia’s broader multicultural society.
FECCA calls for unity, compassion and responsible public discourse in the wake of this tragedy, and reaffirms its unwavering commitment to opposing anti-Semitism, racism and all forms of hate.
