The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO) expresses its deepest sympathy and solidarity with the Australian Jewish community and all Australians following the horrifying attack at Sydney’s Bondi Beach yesterday, on the first night of Chanukah.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this shocking act of terror. The pain and suffering caused by this tragedy are profound, and we share in the grief of those impacted by such violence.
Targeted attacks on communities celebrating their traditions have no place in Australia: today, our hearts are heavy. We stand united with the Australian Jewish community in compassion and unity.
Acts of terrorism, motivated by hate and resulting in such abhorrent violence, are completely unacceptable in the multicultural Australia we all share.
