19+ min ago (236+ words) The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism condemned "with shock and profound grief the murderous shooting attack carried out today in Sydney," calling it "a brutal act of terror targeting Jews who had gathered to mark the lighting of a Hanukkah candle." "This reckless policy has direct consequences at home within Australia itself. The Australian government is doing everything in its power to ensure that Australian Jews cannot live safely, peacefully, and securely as Jews in their own country. The result is unmistakable. When Jews gather to celebrate a Jewish holiday and light a candle, they are met with murderous violence and terror. Some mistakenly believe that Jews can be sacrificed, that appeasing jihadists and turning a blind eye to incitement will buy quiet and stability. History teaches the opposite. Appeasing the enemies of Western civilization does not bring…...

The Haifa District Court in September cleared Kachura, 53, of murder, but convicted him of the lesser charge since he left 17-year-old Lital Yael Melnik alone after having helped her perform a "rebirth ceremony" in which she was buried entirely in sand with a pipe to breathe through. In sentencing Kachura, the court said it was "emphasizing the severity" of his actions, because instead of acting as the "responsible adult" he took part in the "rebirth ceremony" instead of stopping it, and left Melnik at least partially covered in sand without ensuring that she could survive the event. In its sentencing, the…...
