Australia has declared it as a Terrorist attack, Israel has said. This is unacceptable! Simplified details: Two men opened fire at “Chanukah by the Sea” in Sydney, a public Hanukkah event near Bondi Beach. One attacker was shot dead by police, the other, 24 year old Naveed Akram from... south west Sydney, was shot and arrested. Several people were killed and many were injured, making it one of the deadliest attacks Australia has seen in recent years. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival that marks religious freedom and survival, remembered through the story of a lamp that stayed lit for eight days. Australia’s Jewish population is small, around 100,000 people nationwide, with most living in Sydney and Melbourne. For context, Australia has around 800,000 Muslims, about 3.2 percent of the population. Sydney alone has roughly 330,000 Muslims and Melbourne around 258,000. As of now, no extremist organisation has taken responsibility for the attack, and authorities have not confirmed any link to an international terror group. The motive is still under investigation. Facts matter. Speculation does not.show more
