A Hanukkah celebration turned massacre. A rabbi murdered on Bondi Beach. And global leaders still refuse to connect the dots. In this episode of Jerusalem Minute, Josh Hasten and Alex Traiman break down the Sydney terror attack and how Western governments’ flirtation with jihadist rhetoric and pro-Hamas activism led to this moment. From foreign policy failures to UNRWA’s deep ties to Hamas, they expose how evil is being funded, defended and ignored. As Israel prepares for the final round in Gaza, the hosts demand moral clarity from Washington to the UN.
