Senators John Fetterman and Ted Cruz found rare bipartisan agreement during a televised interview, strongly condemning the rise of antisemitism both in the United States and globally. Their discussion was prompted by the recent mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia, where a Hanukkah celebration was targeted, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. Both senators expressed outrage over the attack, with Cruz commending Fetterman for speaking out against antisemitism within his own party, and Fetterman calling the massacre 'horrific.'

The conversation also touched on broader issues, including the need to confront radical ideologies and the importance of protecting Jewish communities. The senators agreed on the appropriateness of President Donald Trump's decision to bomb Iranian nuclear sites, citing national security concerns. Fetterman further criticized current border policies, advocating for stricter vetting of immigrants to ensure alignment with American values. The interview highlighted a moment of unity against hate and violence, transcending party lines.
