There is no justification or legitimacy for violence based on racism, Islamophobia or antisemitism. The use of violence against civilians for political purposes including hate-crimes is terrorism. The perpetrators of those acts of violence are terrorists. What happened on Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday is an unforgivable terrorist act of hatred against Jews. These kinds of acts of terrorism maybe defined as antisemitism, but they may have been acts of terrorism not motivated by antisemitism but motivated by hatred towards Israel and Zionism – and the two are not the same.
