The NSW Teachers Federation stands alongside the Jewish community following the appalling acts of violence at Bondi Beach during their Chanukah event.
We thoroughly condemn this mindless attack on people gathered in peace and celebration.
Sunday night’s antisemitic and racist violence is the polar opposite of the work teachers do every day to build social inclusion and cohesion. In our public schools and TAFE colleges, we embed and celebrate the strength of diversity.
The Jewish community has our full solidarity and support in this time of deep tragedy. The Teachers Federation extends its heartfelt appreciation to the health and emergency service workers involved in the response to this senseless violence.
