Simon O'Connor: Blood on their hands

For too long, we have tolerated people calling for the very violence that occurred at Bondi Beach last night.

My heart goes out to the Jewish community in Sydney, and also across Australia and New Zealand – not to mention around the world. Hanukkah is one of the great high festivals of Judaism; a feast of light and yet last evening, the light was shattered – but importantly, it will not be broken or eclipsed despite the violence.
