A hub for division

Women put up the Israeli flag next to the Australia flag at the Bondi Pavillion, as flowers were displayed in memory of the victims of a shooting at Bondi Beach, in Sydney on December 15, 2025.

A father-and-son team toting long-barrelled guns shot and killed 15 people including a 10-year-old girl at Sydney's Bondi Beach, authorities said on December 15, labelling it an antisemitic terrorist attack on a Jewish festival.
