A vigil held at Bondi Beach for the victims of a recent massacre was marked by heated confrontations, as Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi faced angry hecklers accusing her of contributing to anti-Semitism in Australia. Faruqi, attending alongside other Greens politicians, was challenged by mourners and media figures over her past rhetoric and participation in pro-Palestine protests, with some calling her presence at the vigil hypocritical. The attack, which left 15 people dead during a Hanukkah event, has sparked national grief and anger, with critics blaming both politicians and authorities for failing to prevent the tragedy. Families of the victims, including the parents of 10-year-old Matilda Poltavchenko, gathered to mourn, as calls for accountability and action against anti-Semitism intensified across the country.
