Anti-Israel protesters disrupted a spontaneous memorial held at Sydney’s Bondi Beach for victims of the mass shooting that targeted a Hanukkah celebration, before being removed by police.
According to witnesses at the scene, the two individuals who interrupted the gathering were Michelle Berkon, a member of the group “Jews Against the Occupation ’48,” and Greens councillor Dominic Wy Kanak. Wy Kanak is notably the only elected official in Australia to vote against a local government plan aimed at combating antisemitism.
Attendees said the disruption occurred during moments of quiet remembrance. Sydney Police intervened quickly, escorting the protesters away and allowing the memorial to continue uninterrupted.
