Interviewed by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the daughter of an 86-year-old Holocaust survivor injured in the Bondi Beach massacre blasted the network, along with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong, for their handling of the tragedy.

“He’s 86; he’s a Holocaust survivor,” she began. “He’s a survivor of antisemitism in the ex-Soviet Union. He grew up tough, my dad. He came to Australia and brought us here because he didn’t want my mother and I to go through the same experience. And we didn’t for many years; we didn’t for many years — until October 7, 2023.”

James Glenday, co-host of News Breakfast, the ABC’s flagship morning TV program, tried to skate past the horrific massacre with this lame question: “How are you feeling right now, because there’s some really good things happening in this community, like a lot of people are coming together.”

“We’re so appreciative of that, yeah,” she acknowledged, then responded to the insipid question, repeating: “How are we feeling?”

She offered a rhetorical question to the government after the murders: “Is this what you wanted? Is this enough now? Will you listen to us? Albanese, Wong, will you listen to us? Will you actually do something? Will you actually — Don’t have to stand up and say anything because we don’t believe you anyway.”

Then she directly challenged the interviewer, his network, and the media in general: “And ABC, I’ve gotta say, will you cut out the biased reporting? Mainstream media, will you cut it out? Will you actually let us have a voice? Because we feel that part of the reason that the Jewish people have experienced such a massive change in Australia toward us — I’m Aussie. I’m Aussie. I’m not a religious Jewish girl but since October 7, since all the hatred that’s been thrown at us, I’ve started to wear my Magen David (star of David) because I’m Jewish and if you have something to say, you can say it to me.”

“And ABC, please stop with the biased reporting,” she concluded.

Last July, Australian MP Andrew Wallace slammed Albanese and Wong, stating after the release of the Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism: “I am staggered that it has taken this long for the Albanese Government to finally prioritise the safety and dignity of Australia’s Jewish community. Let’s be clear: the kind of antisemitic hate this plan seeks to address are violent attacks on synagogues, harassment of Jewish students, and the open spread of hate symbols and rhetoric on our streets, which has been amplified since October 7, 2023. That’s nearly three years that this Government has sat on its hands while Jewish Australians were threatened, abused and intimidated in their homes, their schools, and their places of worship.”

“The Albanese Government has been dragged kicking and screaming to this point,” he continued.
