When Chanukah light meets Australian darkness

Women put up the Israeli flag next to the Australia flag at the Bondi Pavillion, as flowers were displayed in memory of the victims of a shooting at Bondi Beach, in Sydney on December 15, 2025. A father-and-son team toting long-barrelled guns shot and killed 15 people including a 10-year-old girl at Sydney's Bondi Beach, authorities said on December 15, labelling it an antisemitic terrorist attack on a Jewish festival.
