Madrid, December 14 (EFE). – The Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain (FCJE) has condemned “the anti-Semitic massacre” that took place on a beach in Australia with more than a dozen dead as a thousand people celebrated the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
In a statement, the Jewish community expressed its strong condemnation of “the cruel anti-Semitic attack” and its deepest solidarity with the families of the victims, with the Australian Jewish community and with the entire Australian population.
“Australia has been one of the countries that has suffered the most severe anti-Semitic attacks in the last two years, in a particularly worrying context in which certain official positions have created an environment of greater hostility towards Jews,” he points out.
The Spanish Jewish community demands that the authorities “unambiguously assume maximum responsibility and act with determination” to prevent massacres like the one mentioned or the one in Manchester (United Kingdom) with the attack on a synagogue during Yom Kippur last October from being repeated elsewhere.
