Jews slaughtered in Sydney

News.com.au reports:

A mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach that left at least 12 people dead has been declared a terrorist incident. 

Naveed Akram, 24, is confirmed to be one of the two shooters who opened fire on a Jewish Hanukkah event shortly before 7pm on Sunday.

One of the gunmen were shot and killed by police, while another gunman was shot before being taken into custody in a critical condition.

So at least 11 people were slaughtered because they were Jewish, or at a Jewish event. I’m equal mixtures of grief and rage. Jews everywhere are thinking “That could have been me killed”.

I hope the surviving gunman lives because I want him to do life in prison.

Holocaust survivor Alex Kleytman has been identified as one of a dozen people killed in the horror attack at Bondi.
His wife Larisa Kleytman, also a Holocaust survivor, confirmed his death to The Australian, saying she heard loud “boom” sounds before seeing him fall to the ground.
“He came on Bondi Beach to celebrate Hanukkah, for us it was always a very, very good celebration, for many, many years,” Ms Kleytman told the outlet.
Alex Kleytman survived the Holocaust with his mother and younger brother in Siberia, The Australian reported. He and his wife later immigrated to Australia from Ukraine and had been married for nearly 60 years.

He survived the Holocaust to be gunned down on Bondi Beach. Hatred has no boundaries.

But in the midst of evil, there is heroism and hope.

A man who heroically tackled and disarmed one of the Bondi Beach gunmen has been named.

News.com.au can confirm the hero has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed, a Sydney local who owns a fruit shop in Sutherland. 

The father-of-two was shot twice during the unbelievable act, according to his cousin who spoke to 7News.

He put his own life into mortal peril to save others. He truly is a man of God. His heroism should be celebrated and recognised.
