BANJA LUKA, DECEMBER 14 /SRNA/ – Republika Srpska stands in solidarity with Jews around the world, as a people who have paid an enormous price throughout history for hatred and violence, said SNSD leader Milorad Dodik in response to today’s terrorist attack on a beach in Sydney.
“I am horrified by the brutal terrorist attack in Sydney and express my deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the entire Jewish people,” Dodik said.
He emphasized that this crime once again shows that terrorism knows no borders and strikes where people gather in peace, faith, and unity.
“That is why Israel deserves full support in the fight against terrorists from Gaza - because terrorism is not negotiated with; terrorism must be stopped,” Dodik stressed.
At the same time, he added, voices around the world are growing stronger warning that security, culture, and ways of life cannot be preserved without clear borders and responsible migration policies.
“The protection of Judeo-Christian values and the halting of uncontrolled migration are becoming a matter of survival for free societies, not ideology. Without security there is no freedom, without determination there is no peace,” Dodik posted on X.
Several armed individuals opened fire on Bondi Beach in Sydney.
The New South Wales police announced that 12 people were killed, including one attacker, and 29 others were injured.
According to Israel’s state television channel Kan, the attack occurred during a Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremony attended by the local Jewish community.
