The MCB expresses its deep sorrow and shock following the horrific mass shooting that occurred at Bondi Beach, Sydney.
Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those injured in this act of violence, particularly those from the Jewish community who were targeted while celebrating the start of Hanukkah.
There can be no justification, religious, political or otherwise, for such evil, premeditated mass murder. As a society, we must actively counter the mindset of the perpetrators and redouble our efforts to build bridges not walls.
