Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, NSW Premier Chris Minns and police chiefs vowed to combat antisemitism, announced nationwide security measures, and confirmed the attackers were a father and son.

Australian investigators say one attacker was recently fired from his job, a jihadist flag was found in the terrorists’ vehicle, and links to ISIS are now being examined.

This wasn't just a tragedy; it was a receipt. It was the bill coming due for years of Western complacency, bureaucratic cowardice, and a suicidal tolerance for the intolerant. Here's an example: Why is the Iranian ambassador still in Canberra? Op-ed.
