Jewish Influencer Faces Backlash Over Bondi Attack Statement

A social media satirist, known as Fashion Critical, has publicly stated her Jewish identity following the recent terror attack in Bondi. The influencer shared that she lost followers after expressing support for the victims, challenging the notion that her stance was 'political.' She emphasized that condemning antisemitism and mourning those affected by the violence is not a political act.

The masked personality, whose real name is Dani Lombard, is known for her sharp yet relatable critiques of fashion events. She clarified that her solidarity with the victims of the attack, which occurred at a Jewish Hanukkah celebration, stems from her heritage. She firmly stated that those uncomfortable with her ethnicity and religious background are not welcome.

The tragic event on Sunday saw two individuals open fire on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration, resulting in the deaths of fifteen people. Among the victims were individuals of various ages and backgrounds, including a child and Holocaust survivors. The perpetrators, a father and son, targeted the community during the Hanukkah festivities.
