During his visit, he attended funerals of some of the 15 slain, visited some of the 39 wounded in hospitals and met with grieving families and community leaders. He also brought an Israeli delegation of trauma and resilience experts to provide professional support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Chikli was hosted at a solidarity event at Chabad Bondi by the Australian Jewish Association, alongside former Australian Prime Ministers Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In his letter, Chikli stressed that rhetoric surrounding Israel and the Palestinians has real-world consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cWhen crowds are permitted to chant slogans such as \u2018from the river to the sea\u2019 and \u2018globalise the intifada,\u2019 the consequences should not be dismissed as abstract or rhetorical,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe attack at Bondi Beach was precisely that\u2014a globalization of the intifada, with deadly devastating consequences.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Chikli argued that while gun control measures are important, they do not address the root cause of the violence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cGuns do not act independently\u2014it is the perpetrators, driven by a dangerous and violent ideology, who must be directly confronted,\u201d he wrote, identifying radical Islamist extremism as the core threat facing the Jewish community and Australian society at large.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Referring to Burke\u2019s previous correspondence to him, Chikli said that broadly condemning extremism and antisemitism without naming radical Islam as the driving ideology behind the attack weakens the response. He added that the failure of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong to clearly identify the source of the violence \u201cundermines the ability to confront it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThe first step in fighting terrorism and antisemitism is precise diagnosis \u2014not merely focusing on the weapons used, but on the extremist ideology responsible for the violence,\u201d Chikli wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The minister emphasized Israel\u2019s readiness to assist Australia, citing the Jewish state\u2019s extensive experience in combating terrorism and antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cIsrael stands ready and willing to assist Australia at this critical juncture,\u201d he said, offering to host and train senior police officers and security personnel in Israel and share best practices in counter-terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cI look forward to meaningful cooperation on this vital issue,\u201d Chikli concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 100%;\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"content-alignment\">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chikli urges Australia to confront radical Islam JNS Staff In a letter to Cabinet minister Tony Burke, Israel\u2019s Diaspora affairs minister offered assistance in training security personnel.
