A Dark Night for Australia’s Jews

Think for yourself.

At least 16 people were killed. Dozens were wounded. Victims ranged from just 10 to 87 years old. This attack on Australia’s Jewish community comes after a steady rise in antisemitism in the country. The FP's Rafaela Siewert sat down for a livestream with Erin Molan and Nomi Kaltmann to discuss what we know about this horrible event. Erin Molan, a television presenter and host of The Erin Molan Show, was on her balcony near Bondi Beach last night when she heard the shots ring out. Nomi Kaltmann, a journalist, lawyer, and Tablet magazine’s Australia correspondent, told me about what the attack means for her Australian Jewish community.
