Please join the call for unity

Add your name in solidarity with Jewish people standing against politicians and lobbyists who are exploiting the Bondi Chanukah massacre to push a divisive agenda.

✍️ Sign the Jewish Council of Australia’s petition today ✍️

On Sunday in Bondi, we witnessed the appalling consequences of hatred and how it breeds radicalisation and violence. As the Jewish community and the whole country grieved, politicians instead went on the attack — exploiting tragedy to sow division and pit our communities against each other.

Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce have targeted our Muslim and Palestinian friends, families and neighbours. Benjamin Netanyahu and Jillian Segal are pushing to erode civil liberties and attack those who peacefully protest genocide. Andrew Hastie and Josh Frydenberg are attempting to score political points by attacking migrant communities.

We all deserve to feel safe, no matter our religion or where we come from. We cannot allow our grief, fear and anger to be weaponised to spread division and hate.

Jewish communities are beautifully diverse, culturally and politically. Antisemitism and racism flourish when that diversity is erased. The far-right Israeli government does not speak for Jewish people in Australia and is not interested in our safety. Only we can create safety for each other.

We are calling on people across Australia to unite against antisemitism, racism and gun violence in the wake of this unthinkable tragedy.

The only way to build lasting community strength and safety is by coming together.

There are a number of incredible partner organisations working with the Jewish Council to promote this campaign. Note that signatures collected on this page will be tallied together with those collected by our partners.
