After the horrific events at Bondi Beach, it’s time for the Left to reflect. ​ How can we be better allies to the Jewish community and fight anti-Semitism?

First Stephen, Jessie, and David break down the event, including the response from police, ASIO, Labor and community leaders.

Then they move to a broader discussion about Labor's historic relationship with the Jewish community, the rise of anti-Semitism in Australia, and critical reflections on how the Australian Left can reckon with their failings.
