¿Puede lo inimaginable suceder en tu ciudad? Hablamos con la portavoz del Consejo Judío de Australia tras un ataque indescriptible que ha conmocionado a la nación.
Este acto de violencia, que tuvo lugar en la primera noche de Hanukkah, no es solo un ataque a la comunidad judía, sino a todos los australianos. Se buscó apagar la alegría de una festividad, resultando en la pérdida de vidas y heridos.
Recordamos un 'verano de terror' del año pasado con ataques antisemitas, incluyendo incendios provocados y agresiones a hogares y vehículos. Esto llevó a muchos a considerar dejar el país, cuestionando la seguridad en Australia.
Se debate el papel de decisiones políticas recientes, como el reconocimiento de un estado palestino y la marcha por Gaza, en el aumento de la hostilidad. Estos eventos han herido a la comunidad judía y, según algunos, han permitido la escalada de ataques antisemitas.
Únete a nosotros para comprender el impacto de estos sucesos y la preocupación por la seguridad y la unidad en Australia.
00:00Yeah, it's actually, it's unimaginable, like I cannot believe that our sleepy, safe Sydney has this, I mean, this is, and it's not, like I said, it's not just an attack on the Jewish community, it's an attack on all Australians.
00:18This could have been the Hindu community, could have been the Christian community, could have been any community, but it was attacked to the Jewish community, specifically on the first night of Hanukkah.
00:27They knew we were gathering, they knew it was joyous, they wanted to kill our joy, and now they have killed our people, and I would just, you know, we're all sitting here waiting to find out the names of the people who've been killed, and the status of the health of some of those people who've been shot, some of them I know, so we're just waiting.
00:51Yeah, it was, sort of. I mean, this time last year, if you recall, we had many, many anti-Semitic incidences. We had fire bombings of childcare centres, a synagogue in Melbourne, people's private homes, their cars.
01:06As this went on, it was the summer of terror, they called it, and it happened this time last year, well, January and February last year, and at that time, I know a lot of people, me included, were seriously considering leaving Australia.
01:22Why this is not a safe place for us. I think a big turning point for a lot of people in Australia was when our Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, and Penny Wong, Foreign Minister, formally recognised Palestinian state, the UN.
01:40And also, the courts allowed a mass march for Gaza across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which was a vision that was shared all over the world. It just amplified that message, but what it did for us is it hurt the Jewish community, and it enabled and allowed so many of these other anti-Semitic attacks to happen.
02:05And this, tonight's attack was, was targeted to the Jewish community.
