According to the Premiere of New South Wales State, Christopher Mins,

62
00:03:58,639 –> 00:04:01,800
when members of the Jewish community in the Sydney City

63
00:04:01,879 –> 00:04:05,319
of Australia came out in large numbers on Day one

64
00:04:05,439 –> 00:04:09,960
to celebrate this year Harnaker Festival. This the Israeli government,

65
00:04:10,000 –> 00:04:13,280
through the video statements made by the Israeli Prime Minister

66
00:04:13,759 –> 00:04:17,439
Benjamin Lettenyahoo during government meeting in Demona and when he

67
00:04:17,519 –> 00:04:21,240
lit the first Tarnaka candle in Israel later on Sunday,

68
00:04:21,600 –> 00:04:24,639
said there may be more terrorist attacks on the Jewish

69
00:04:24,720 –> 00:04:28,439
people because the Australia government is weak. We know there

70
00:04:28,439 –> 00:04:31,560
will be additional attacks. The safest place for the Jewish

71
00:04:31,600 –> 00:04:34,560
people in the world is where the government, the army

72
00:04:34,839 –> 00:04:39,399
and the security forces will defend them, saying on August seventeenth,

73
00:04:39,480 –> 00:04:42,480
twenty twenty five, he wrote a letter to the Prime

74
00:04:42,519 –> 00:04:45,959
Minister of Australia, wherein he said, your call for a

75
00:04:46,000 –> 00:04:50,600
Palestinian state pause fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards

76
00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:54,680
her mass terrorists, It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews,

77
00:04:54,720 –> 00:04:59,560
and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Antisemitism

78
00:04:59,600 –> 00:05:03,040
is a ca It spreads when leaders stay silent. It

79
00:05:03,120 –> 00:05:06,199
retreats when leaders act. I call upon you to replace

80
00:05:06,240 –> 00:05:11,000
weakness with action, appeasement with resolve. Instead, Prime Minister, you

81
00:05:11,120 –> 00:05:15,000
replaced weakness with weakness, and appeasement with more appeasement. Your

82
00:05:15,040 –> 00:05:19,240
government did nothing to stop the spread of antisemitism in Australia.

83
00:05:19,560 –> 00:05:22,160
You did nothing to curb the cancer cells that were

84
00:05:22,160 –> 00:05:25,560
growing inside your country. You took no action. You let

85
00:05:25,600 –> 00:05:28,360
the disease spread, and the result is the horrific attacks

86
00:05:28,399 –> 00:05:31,759
on Jews we saw today. In a tweet posted through

87
00:05:31,839 –> 00:05:35,920

Australia Prime Minister Antony Albanese said, in moments like this,

89
00:05:41,360 –> 00:05:45,839
we must come together. Australia stands united against hatred and terror.

90
00:05:46,600 –> 00:05:50,959

Islamic State Group, adding that Navid first came to authorities

101
00:06:28,480 –> 00:06:32,560

102
00:06:32,680 –> 00:06:35,680
said an assessment was made that there was no indication

103
00:06:35,800 –> 00:06:39,199

113
00:07:10,079 –> 00:07:13,040

123
00:07:49,279 –> 00:07:52,399
