On December 14, 2025, a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach became a killing ground. Fifteen people dead, dozens wounded. Children. Elderly. Families. All targeted by ideology-fueled hatred.

This was not just an attack — it was a wake-up slap to our illusions of safety. Anywhere, anytime, a moment of joy can become a nightmare. The world applauded security measures after the fact, but what about before the blood is spilled?

The attackers were inspired by extremist beliefs. The Islamic State called it a “source of pride.” But terrorism isn’t owned by any group — it thrives in silence, isolation, apathy. And society? We watch, scroll, shrug.

Ask yourself: Could your child be next? Your family? Your city? If we don’t confront the ideas, the networks, and the hate that spawn violence, history will repeat itself — and more innocents will die.

Bondi Beach showed us one brutal truth: fear travels faster than hope, and waiting for tragedy to strike is no longer an option.

Wake up. Question everything. Act before it’s too late.
