(en) France, UCL Press Release - Antisemitic Attack in Australia: Let's Stand Together Against All Forms of Racism! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Following the horrific antisemitic crime that recently struck Australia,
the Libertarian Communist Union expresses its deepest solidarity with
the victims and their families. Faced with all forms of racism, we
affirm the need to build a radical and united anti-racist, anti-fascist,
and anti-imperialist front. ---- This Sunday, December 14th, Australia
was plunged into mourning by a terrible antisemitic crime on Bondi Beach
in Sydney. Two armed assailants opened fire on a Hanukkah ceremony,
leaving 16 dead at the time of writing, and around fifty wounded. While
reliable information about the attackers remains scarce, strong
suspicions point to a link with the Islamic State. The Libertarian
Communist Union expresses its full solidarity with the victims of these
despicable acts, as well as with their families, and commends the heroic
act of Ahmed al Ahmed, a fruit vendor present on the day of the attack
who risked his life to disarm one of the assailants with his bare hands.
These attacks are a stark reminder that antisemitism still plagues our
societies, including in its most violent forms.
Throughout the world, capitalism and imperialism fuel the rise of
antisemitism. By destabilizing Iraq and Syria through their criminal
interventions, and by allowing the Turkish state to wage war against the
Kurdish people, NATO imperialists have created the chaos that has
enabled the Islamic State to flourish. Furthermore, by using the
"protection of Jews" as a pretext to support Zionist crimes, the State
of Israel and its supporters fuel resentment and hostility against Jews
worldwide. Finally, by fueling and financing the rise of the far right
and nationalism, capitalists also continue to fan the flames of
antisemitism.
The usual vultures of the right and far right have already begun their
morbid campaign of exploitation, unsurprisingly projecting their
nauseating "clash of civilizations" onto this attack. We must stand
against these fascist rhetoric and reiterate the reality: whether it
dons the guise of the National Rally or the Islamic State, the far right
is the primary purveyor of antisemitic ideas in the world.
The Israeli state, for its part, seized the opportunity to shift the
blame for these acts onto the timid recognitions of the State of
Palestine, notably by Australia. In France, Minister Aurore Bergé
accused the pro-Palestinian movement of bearing responsibility for the
Sydney attack, an abject and shameful manipulation. These attempts at
co-opting the situation are odious: one will search in vain for the
slightest connection between the Islamic State organization and
solidarity with Palestine.
What we need is clarity, not confusion, and a clear, radical, and
unified rejection of all forms of hatred. In this regard, we can only
point to the responsibilities and double standards of our imperialist
states, which today rightly condemn anti-Semitic crimes, but remain
silent on-or even support-those currently taking place in Palestine.
While Israel continues to murder in Gaza since the "ceasefire," where
are the outrages, the public statements, the thoughts for the victims?
We therefore expect nothing from states or bourgeois democracies: we
must build grassroots popular solidarity ourselves, through an
anti-racist, anti-fascist, and anti-imperialist front. We call on
everyone to join all initiatives and commemorations that clearly aim to
combat all forms of racism. Faced with the widespread descent into open
barbarity, only a break with the imperialist order can prevent further
massacres.
The Libertarian Communist Union, December 19, 2025.
