Bondi rabbi faced antisemitic abuse
Rabbi confronted at Bondi Beach by man justifying attack and making antisemitic claims.
A rabbi marking 120 days since the Bondi terror attack was confronted at the beach by a man who appeared to justify the murders of 15 innocent people and accused Jews of being Nazis.
Rabbi Yossi Friedman had come to Bondi Beach to speak with people and ask a simple question: How are you holding up? Instead, he found himself face to face with a man who pointed the finger at Israel and Jews, called Zionism “Zio-Nazism” and accused Friedman of “supporting murderers”.
“I know how evil you guys are,” the man told Rabbi Friedman.
“I was brought up a Zionist mate. I know exactly the crimes you guys have done,” the man said, before claiming that “Ashkenazis are not Jews” and that “70,000 babies have just been murdered by the Jews.”
When Friedman urged him not to blame all Jews, the man pressed on, claiming the media is “owned by Zionists” and asserting that Jews “suffer from exactly the same disease that the Nazis suffered in Germany”.
