Anti-Semitism Surges in Australia After Deadly Hanukkah Attack, Royal Commission Hears

A Royal Commission into anti-Semitism has heard that hatred toward Jewish Australians escalated sharply following a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi on December 14, 2025, which killed 15 people and injured more than 40. This rising tide of anti-Semitism mirrors a global pattern of intensifying persecution of Jewish communities that Scripture identifies as a hallmark of the last days. Jesus warned that the end times would be marked by widespread hatred and lawlessness, and the targeting of Jewish people in nations once considered safe aligns with biblical prophecy that all nations will ultimately turn against Israel.
