The Member of Parliament for Romford, Andrew Rosindell MP, has issued a strong statement following the horrendous antisemitic attack in Australia.
Mr Rosindell told the Havering Daily:
I am utterly horrified by the cowardly terrorist attack at Bondi Beach yesterday, targeting a Jewish Hanukkah celebration and shattering the tranquillity of a cherished community gathering. This was a deliberate act of antisemitic terror, an assault on the right of Jewish people to worship openly and without fear during one of their most sacred festivals.
As Chairman of the All‑Party Parliamentary Group on Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands, I extend my deepest condolences to the victims, their families, and the entire Jewish community in Australia, especially those in New South Wales who gathered in celebration of the first night of Hanukkah. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who suffered the loss of loved ones, and with the injured as they recover.
In the United Kingdom, we stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with our Australian friends – we too bear the scars inflicted by Islamic fundamentalism and antisemitism.
