We are deeply horrified by the violent attack on the Jewish community at Bondi Beach, Australia.
The Luton Council of Faiths condemns, without reservation, every such form of hatred, prejudice, and discrimination directed at any person or community because of their religion, ethnicity, or identity. All forms of violence, terrorism and extremism, contradict humanitarian values.
Our hearts grieve for the lives lost, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with all those who are mourning, injured, or affected by this tragedy.
As the Jewish community marks Chanukkah—a festival of light, resilience, and hope—we join them, locally and globally, in affirming our collective commitment to peace, justice, compassion, and unity.
In this moment of sorrow, may the light of Chanukkah inspire us all to dispel darkness with solidarity, to confront hatred with courage, and to nurture harmony among all people.
