“Jews were attacked because they are Jews. Such hatred must be named and confronted without equivocation,” said Counter Extremism Project CEO Mark D. Wallace. “This attack demands moral clarity and immediate action to protect Jewish Australians and confront antisemitism—and, specifically, the extreme demonization of Israel. Australia’s lawmakers must do better—immediately.”
Deutsche Welle's Gerhard Elfers talks with the Counter Extremism Project's senior director Hans-Jakob Schindler. They discuss the latest events in Sydney, Australia, where two gunmen attacked a Jewish celebration event at the popular Bondi Beach. At least 15 people have been killed and dozens more wounded. Schindler and Elfers discuss the Israel-Gaza conflict, Australian security and intelligence, and antisemitism.
Terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler, like the Australian government, assumes the attack was motivated by antisemitism. However, given the current state of the investigation, it remains unclear which social group the perpetrators belong to.

On December 10, 2025, CEP hosted the webinar, “Rethinking the fight against Antisemitism after October 7”
This is the third webinar of a three-part series on how antisemitism is strategically exploited by extremist groups, a project supported by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany.
The aftermath of the antisemitic massacres conducted on October 7, 2023, in Israel by Hamas has raised many urgent questions. For example, do we need to rethink and reconceptualize the fight against antisemitism? Should antisemitism be its own category in the prevention and countering of violent extremism (P/CVE), not just a side aspect? Do we properly understand and address the role of social media platforms in this context? How can the fight against professional antisemitic actors be improved?
Building on the findings presented in the 2025 CEP study, “The Role of Antisemitism in the Mobilization to Violence by Extremist and Terrorist Actors”, the webinar emphasizes the transnational dimensions of these questions.
