Yael Eckstein on Terror, Antisemitism & Jewish Resilience

On The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), joined to discuss the terror attack at a Hanukkah event in Bondi Beach, Australia, where at least 12 people were killed.

Eckstein described the attack as part of a global surge in antisemitism, connecting events in Australia to rising hostility toward Jews in the U.S., Europe, and Israel.

She emphasized that antisemitism is no longer confined to fringe groups but is spreading through mainstream rhetoric and radical ideologies, making Jewish communities worldwide more vulnerable.

Clay and Buck framed the attack as a battle of good versus evil, warning that radical Islamist terrorism seeks to destabilize Western societies.

Eckstein highlighted the mission of IFCJ: to support Jewish communities under threat and to strengthen ties between Christians and Jews in confronting hatred.

The hosts also noted the failure of Australia’s strict gun laws to prevent the attack, arguing that disarmament policies left citizens defenseless.

The conversation underscored the need for vigilance, solidarity, and faith, especially during Hanukkah, a holiday symbolizing light overcoming darkness.

The takeaway: Clay & Buck’s interview with Yael Eckstein framed the Bondi Beach terror attack as proof of rising antisemitism worldwide, while stressing the importance of unity, faith, and stronger measures to protect Jewish communities.
